"One Man Army" is the sixth studio album from Finnish folk metal forbearers, ENSIFERUM. Set to drop next month via Metal Blade Records, the predominantly analog-recorded offering was captured by award-winning producer Anssi Kippo (Children Of Bodom, Impaled Nazarene, Entwine etc.) at Astia-Studios in Lappeenranta, Finland and wields their signature methodic, yet organically-executed synthesis of Viking, folk and power metal adorned in fantastical themes of Scandinavian lore.
In celebration of its release, today ENSIFERUM offers fans an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look into the creation of their most epic offering to date. Watch bassist/vocalist Sami Hinkka discuss "One Man Army" at metalblade.com/ensiferum where you'll also find the band's recently debuted "One Man Army" video and pre-order links!
ENSIFERUM's "One Man Army" will be released via Metal Blade Records on February 20th, 2015. 70,000 Tons of Metal voyagers will be able to catch ENSIFERUM's battle-ready live performance this week before the band kicks off a lengthy European live incursion, wielding their swords alongside Insomnium and Omnium Gatherum.
