Finska folk metal bandet Ensiferum släpper sitt femte album Unsung Heroes den 27 augusti via Spinefarm Records. Albumet är producerat av Hiili Hiilesmaa (HIM, Sentenced) på Petrax studio (Children Of Bodom, Nightwish) i Hollola, Finland. Unsung Heroes följer upp From Afar från 2009 och här kommer ett utdrag ur pressmeddelandet, ”From Afar 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 and 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.”
Bandet kommenterar, ”We’ve tried to push the different aspects of what we do as far as we can; the sonic scope is wider than ever. The folk elements go further down that path and the metallic parts will absolutely rip your face off!”
