The Invisible Orange and Journeyman Productions present: ENSIFERUM with special guests: FIREWIND and ATAVISTIA.ENSIFERUM
The last time that Ensiferum left the studio with a new album, the world promptly shut down due to the covid pandemic. The Finnish folk-metal Melodeath sensation maintained a prolific release schedule since their first demo in 1997, gradually increasing in stature until eighth album Thalassic crowned their ascent in 2020. The nautical opus went on to top Finland's album chart, reaching #3 in Germany, and top ten in Switzerland, Canada and the USA. Eventually Ensiferum would take Thalassic on two massive world tours and to festivals like Wacken, Hellfest, Summer Breeze and Ragnarök, but the global health hoo-hah ensured that the four-year wait for Winter Storm is the longest in the band's near-30-year history.

FIREWIND
The success of any metal production is based almost always on the sum of its individual parts, which have to fit together homogeneously to then ideally impress their listeners in their entirety. With Firewind, these details are easy to identify: On one hand, there’s the awe-inspiring guitar work of exceptional musician Gus G. and his breathtaking finger action as well as his authentic feel for catchy and at the same time powerful songs. He is supported by German singer Herbie Langhans, who has made a name for himself as a member of bands/projects such as Avantasia, Sinbreed, etc.
The latest product of this fruitful collaboration bears the programmatic title ‘Stand United’ and is available from AFM/Believe from 1 March 2024. For their eagerly waiting fans, this new era began back in February 2023 with the arrival of Firewind’s first lead single ‘Destiny Calling’ that was released during a sold-out tour across Europe and UK with Finnish rising stars, Beast in Black. Some of the album’s standout tracks are the anthemic ‘Salvation Day’, the massive and modern sounding ‘Fallen Angel’ and the more radio friendly track ‘Chains’. In line with that, a co-headlining tour with Power Metal legends Masterplan has been scheduled to commence at the end of February 2024 (see below for dates).
