ENSIFERUM: Finnish folk metal forbearers unleash new video

One Man Army full-length to see release next month!

One Man Army is the sixth studio album from Finnish folk metal forbearers, ENSIFERUM. Set to drop next month via Metal Blade Records, the predominantly analog-recorded offering was captured by award-winning producer Anssi Kippo (Children Of Bodom, Impaled Nazarene, Entwine etc.) at Astia-Studios in Lappeenranta, Finland and delivers eleven punishingly epic odes alongside a four-track bonus CD featuring the band's rendition of Barathrum's "Warmetal," Iron Maiden's "Wrathchild," Uriah Heep's "Lady In Black," and Judas Priest's "Breaking The Law".

In anticipation of the forthcoming release, today ENSIFERUM unveils the official new video for One Man Army's title track as well as an in-depth "making of" clip that brings fans deep into the heart of the filming session. Take a looksee at www.metalblade.com/ensiferum.

ENSIFERUM's "One Man Army" will be released via Metal Blade Records on February 20th, 2015. 70,000 Tons of Metal voyagers will be able to catch ENSIFERUM's battle-ready live performance next week before the band kicks off a lengthy European live incursion, wielding their swords alongside Insomnium and Omnium Gatherum.

WOLF announce supports for European Tour in February

Sweden's guardians of real Heavy Metal, WOLF, released their 7th album "Devil Seed" in August 2014 and proved once more that there are one of the best bands to keep metal true. And WOLF want to invite you to witness their evil powers live: "We are very happy to announce that our Swedish brothers Dead Lord will join us as main support on the first part of the upcoming 'Devil Seed' European tour. The addition of Dead Lord is just awesome and as all of you know they are a fantastic band...the 'Devil Seed' tour just got even deadlier."

"Wolf makes entertainment metal of high to sky-high levels." - Sweden Rock Magazine Album Of The Month!

"Once again the production sparkles and the instrumentation is incisive but never indulgent, with Shark Attack, My Demon and Killing Floor boasting simple, surging choruses that'll have you screaming along." 8 of 10 in Metal Hammer UK

"There's a touch of Judas Priest's Rob Halford in Niklas Stalvind's big voice, but it's the stomping heft of the whole shebang that makes Wolf look like trad metal's answer to Airbourne." 4/5 Kerrang (UK)
