With a new keyboardist and a new lineup, this album marks the beginning of Ensiferum's new march...! Formed in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, in 1995, ENSIFERUM is a five-piece melodic death metal band with a heroic folk flavor. The band name is said to mean \"sword-bearer\" or \"swordsman\" in Latin. Initially a four-piece band with twin guitars (one of whom also handled vocals), they added a keyboardist shortly after their debut album \"ENSIFERUM\" in 2001, becoming a five-piece band, and have maintained that lineup ever since, despite numerous member changes. Incidentally, their early singer was Jari Maemp??, currently of WINTERSUN, who left the band after the recording of their second album, \"IRON\" (2004). Petri Lindros, then a member of NORTHER, was brought in as his replacement. Since then, they have released albums such as their third album \"VICTORY SONGS\" ('07), \"FROM AFAR\" ('09), \"UNSUNG HEROES\" ('12), and \"ONE MAN ARMY\" ('15) (in addition to live DVDs, EPs, and greatest hits albums), and after overcoming several member changes, they have completed their seventh album, \"TWO PATHS,\" this year. The current band lineup consists of five members: Petri (g, vo), the only original member Markus Toivonen (g, vo), Sami Hinka (b, vo), Janne Parviainen (ds), and Netta Skog (acc). Following the long-standing tradition of having a female keyboardist, Netta joined the band in 2016. A former member of TURISAS, she is ENSIFERUM's first accordionist. Playing a digital accordion, she showcased her exceptional skills and talent in this new environment. As always, 'TWO PATHS' is packed with their unique sound?symphonic, folky, intense, epic, dramatic, and magnificent?and while it follows the previous album's method of capturing live sound in the studio, it takes another step forward. Aiming for a more organic finish, analog recording was used, and the band played without a click track. As a result, the album is imbued with the dynamism and driving energy reminiscent of their early works. The producer is Ansi Kippo, who also produced the previous album. It goes without saying that collaborating with an expert in melodic death metal, who has previously worked with bands like CHILDREN OF BODOM, KALMAH, and NORTHER, resulted in an outstanding outcome.
