Product DescriptionENSIFERUM, THE highly visual troupe who have long been a market leader when it comes to stirring, armour-plated anthems, will have their fifth studio album released through the Spinefarm label on September 18th, 2012.
Titled Unsung Heroes and produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa (HIM, Sentenced, Apocalyptica, etc.), this is the hour-plus follow-up to 2009 s From Afar , and sees the Finnish five-piece founded in 1995 pushing their signature sound to bold new heights of drama and excess.
A cinematic experience from first note to last , Unsung Heroes takes the listener on a journey of genuine light & shade, with the 16 minute-plus Passion Proof Power showing that when it comes to the epic statement, Ensiferum are very much in the front-line, swords at the ready.
Once again, album art has been supplied by Kristian Wahlin (see attached), with featured special guests including members of Apokalyptischen Reiter plus legendary Finnish singer & actor, Vesa-Matti Loiri.
