Beautiful folk melodies, epic arrangements, fierce riffs, and sing-along choruses. There is no heavy metal fan who wouldn't be thrilled by this. Ensiferum is a Finnish folk metal band. They released their self-titled debut album in 2001. With melodic extreme metal that boldly incorporates elements of folk music, they quickly gained immense popularity. Since then, they have released high-quality works at a pace of one every few years. To date, they have released seven full albums. They have had many member changes, and in 2004, frontman Jari Maaempaa left to focus on Wintersun. However, the band did not stop in the face of such a crisis, but rather became even more active and has continued to be at the forefront of the scene. Now, Ensiferum's eighth album, \"Tharasic,\" has arrived. \"Tharasic\" means \"of the sea\" in ancient Greek. Somewhat surprisingly, this is Ensiferum's first theme album. Every song is related to the \"sea\" or \"water.\" Regarding this album, bassist\/vocalist Sami Hinka says, \"We took another step forward musically while also utilizing the best parts of our old sound.\" To put it simply, in \"Thalassic,\" Ensiferum adheres to their signature formula of grand orchestration + folk music elements + metal, but compared to their previous albums, \"One Man Army\" (2015) and \"Two Pass\" (2017), it emphasizes a more straightforward heavy metal side. Beautiful folk-influenced melodies, grand arrangements, fierce riffs, and sing-along choruses?in addition to Ensiferum's familiar trademarks, the clean vocals of new keyboardist Pekka Montin add further color to the songs. How can you listen to this without headbanging? Is there any heavy metal fan who wouldn't get their adrenaline pumping after listening to this? Ensiferum is a band that encapsulates the very essence of heavy metal. It's sure to excite not only extreme metal fans but also traditional heavy metal fans.
