Biography

Folk metal band from Helsinki, Finland. Ensiferum's black/death/folk metal hybrid was first born in 1995 when Markus Toivonen (guitar), Sauli Savolainen (bass) and Kimmo Miettinen (drums) got together to form an innovative band. The following year, Jari Mäenpää joined as a vocalist (and second guitarist) and the first self-titled demo was released. Before releasing their second demo tape in 1999, Jukka-Pekka Miettinen replaced Sauli Savolainen on bass and ex-Arthemesia drummer Oliver Fokin swapped positions with Kimmo Miettinen. The band continued playing and recorded a third demo, "Hero in a Dream", which was noticed by underground (and non) magazines which allowed the band to gain popularity and sign a deal with Spinefarm Records. Finally, Meiju Enho joined as keyboard player for the band and they were now able to record their epic, self-titled debut "Ensiferum" in 2001. Current line-up: Markus Toivonen - guitar, vocals (1995–present) Petri Lindroos - guitar, vocals (2004–present) Sami Hinkka - bass, vocals (2004–present) Janne Parviainen - drums (2005–present) Pekka Montin - keyboards, vocals (2020–present)

LYRICS

This lifeless soil
Barren of good thoughts
Scorched By grudge and grief
Doomed to linger on
Wandered aimlessly
Blinded By their lies
Now I raise my head And sword
When shadows steal the light

Fire
Desire
Denial
In my heart
Burning
Yearning
Discerning
I see it now

You call it cruelty
I call it strength
I am cursed to be
A one man Army
You call me inhumane
I call this life regained
I am blessed to be
A one man Army

I will take the Lives of Many enemies
Yet still this battle feels like a defeat to me
Death or victory, only emptiness I feel
The spring of hope runs dry
Because i'm already dead inside
