Artist: Ensiferum

Ensiferum walk the fine line of being a bit corny whilst they shred, but they totally pull it off. The band demands you raise a fist and chant along to their Viking inspired battle songs. Click next for more photos.

Ahh, Michigan. We have lakes. Big fucking lakes. We used to have a booming car industry, but unless you've been living under a rock for the past six months, you need not an explanation of why I won't be speaking of that in this article. Besides, we harbor a little music festival every summer called [...]

Darkest Hour are currently out on the road doing the MetalSucks co-sponsored Summer Slaughter tour, and they're doing a video tour diary for our gay lovers at Metal Injection. Check it out below. It's good to see that Lonestar is growing his mega-beard back. It's also good to see his package. ANYWAY, I've seen enough of the [...]

So the line-up for Summer Slaughter - a.k.a. the big summer package tour that isn't Ozzfest, Mayhem, Warped, or Sounds of the Underground (R.I.P.) - has been announced, and, pretty much as expected, it's totally solid. Yes, there are a few bands on the bill I don't care for (I'm looking at you, Winds of [...]

Aww shit. It is with great honor, that we here at Metal Injection present to you ANOTHER killer tour we are sponsoring, the biggest shredfest of the Summer: SUMMER SLAUGHTER 2009. As revealed in our interview with Mohamed last year, NECROPHAGIST will be back headlining supporting their new release which is slated to come out [...]

I don't know about you kids, but the inaugural run of Paganfest USA was the most fun I had at a show all year in 2008. Turisas, Ensiferum, Eluveitie and Tyr absolutely killed it, and the entire room was pumping their fists in the air to every song. And, oh yeah, we drank copious amounts [...]

Photos and review by Jesse Angelo I arrived at Irving Plaza early last night to make sure I would catch all of the bands. Outside of the venue I saw Pete, one of the guitarists from The Absence , and we struck up a conversation about the tour. He told me that Amon Amarth actually requested them specifically for this tour. Apparently The Absence is one of the only American bands that Amon Amarth feels fits their style and is the only American band on this tour. Quite a compliment! [...]

The Washington Post Express on Finnish viking/folk-metal act Ensiferum : http://www.expressnightout.com /content/2008/10/swords_sonic_ sorcerers_ensiferum.php Worth reading, if just for the epic metal war question near the end.

Don't let the post-weekend hangover get you down; start your week off right by listening a new track from Sweden's kings of viking metal, Amon Amarth. "Guardians of Asgaard" comes from their new album Twilight of the Thunder God due September 30th on Metal Blade, and the band will kick off a massive North American [...]

Aside from having pretty much the best lineup of any festival EVER, Wacken just seems like a great fucking time, ya know? Nothing quite like 100,000 sweaty German metalheads congregating in one place - my Jew ass would fit in quite nicely, I'm sure. This live footage of pagan/folk metallers Ensiferum just drives the point home. Look at how fucking amped that crowd is - it's like Paganfest times 10. I can't imagine anything being more fun. -VN Related posts: EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH ELUVEITIE [...]

After fellating Protest the Hero's incredible early-2008 release Fortress for two months solid (culminating in my first ever 5 of 5 horns review ), I was immediately let down by successive announcements that the band would be touring with shit emo bands through the entire summer. Finally someone in the band's camp has come to their senses and packaged them with a lineup that will put them in front of the metal audience that NEEDS to know about this band. And finally, I will be able to go see them live. Lambgoat is reporting a [...]

Anyone who went to the U.S. incarnation of this year's pagan/folk metal festival Paganfest will tell you that it was positively one of the best, most fun concerts of the year so far (see also: live footage !). And anyone not smoking crack (and perhaps a few that do) will tell you that Eluveitie was one of the most exciting bands on the bill (no disrespect to Turisas, Ensiferum and Tyr who were also awesome. Well actually, Tyr was kind of a sleeper.) Eluveitie's recent Nuclear Blast release Slania also happens to be [...]
