The addition of singer/organist Pekka Montin’s crystal-clear melodic excessive notes offered an incredible increase on Thalassic. However on Winter Storm — a fantasy idea narrative penned by Hinkka — Montin’s super-strong voice finds its optimum place in ENSIFERUM‘s sound. Bringing to life such grandiose, heroic materials, the singer emerges as one of many best vocal discoveries of the last decade.

From there, the music virtually shaped by itself. This music tells a couple of distant tribe who has been preventing in opposition to the Winter Storm Vigilantes for a very long time. An enormous singalong refrain and the uncooked power that calls everybody right into a mosh pit, will assure that this shall be an superior reside music.”
