2012, The Norsemen are back - Ensiferum check in once again with their more than impressive brilliant new album. Titled UNSUNG HEROES, it follows the path chosen on FROM AFAR, their last successful release, even topping it off in every regard. Laden with anthems, battle cries, and an eerie atmosphere, UNSUNG HEROES could serve as the soundtrack to a fictitious Norse saga. Ensiferum master the task to hover between Metal and Folk like no other band of their genre - without losing their directness, power and clout. Ensiferum was formed by Guitarist Markus Toivonen in 1995. Markus discovered the word ´Ensiferum` in a latin dictionary when looking for a band name, the word and meaning was perfect for the band he aimed to create.
