ENSIFERUM will be touring in support of their Winter Storm full-length, set for release on October 18th through Metal Blade Records.

Much of the new material for Winter Storm emerged during the COVID lockdown, when ENSIFERUM's founding guitarist Markus Toivonen set himself the challenge of finding new ways to make music - eventually composing every song except the rousing, anthemic "Fatherland", written by bassist Sami Hinkka. The addition of singer/organist Pekka Montin's crystal-clear melodic high notes provided a tremendous boost on Thalassic. But on Winter Storm - a fantasy concept narrative penned by Hinkka - Montin's super-strong voice finds its optimal place in ENSIFERUM's sound. Bringing to life such grandiose, heroic material, the singer emerges as one of the greatest vocal discoveries of the decade.

ENSIFERUM's Winter Storm was produced by Janne Joutsenniemi, mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren, and includes guest appearances by Lassi Logren on Nyckelharpa and violin and Mikko Mustonen on orchestration as well as ELEINE's Madeleine Liljestam who provides all vocals on "Scars In My Heart".

Winter Storm will be available on jewel case CD, special edition CD box (includes CD digipak featuring two bonus tracks, beanie, enamel pin, and magnetic bottle opener), and digitally as well as vinyl in the following color variants:

  • Frost (US)
  • 180g Black (EU)

  • Blood On Ice Splatter (EU - Ltd. 300 - EMP excl.)
