Hey everyone, what’s happening? Finnish viking/folk/epic/whatever metallers EnsiferuM are about ready to release their fifth full-length album, “Unsung Heroes”, on August 27, just a little more than a month away. In preparation for is probably going to be more than an hour of epic greatness, I’ve collected some stuff for us to get all excited!

First off, we have a leaked video, or something, of one of the new songs. A couple weeks before this video appeared, there were some crappy concert videos of EnsiferuM playing this new song. Even though the sound was awful, it didn’t prevent me from listening to it like ten times in a row, and looking for it again, which is when I found this video, which seems to be the studio version:

Sounds like classic EnsiferuM to me!

To catch some more new material, you’re gonna have to watch this little “behind the scenes” video for the filming of their new music video, “In My Sword I Trust”. Even though the song repeats the same forty or so seconds over and over, it’s nice to hear some new EnsiferuM. Here’s the video:

I’m guessing the video will be in the same style as their last music video for “From Afar” (which I actually thought was embarrassingly bad), but oh well. I’m still going to watch it like 5, 000 times.

On a side note, what happened to Sami?! Look at how skinny he is!

For those of you that don’t know what he looked like before, here is a picture of him.

And here is a picture of him now:

Like, whoa!

“Unsung Heroes” comes out August 27, 2012!
