Is Ensiferum fit for PP?

[TBJ]

I am a huge Ensiferum fan and wanted to ask you guys what you though about them being part of a future PP?

They got the power metal influences, plenty of clean vocals that complement the harsh ones, great folk-y touches, and the music is catchy and epic as hell.

So, what do you guys think?

 

[eppst1]

Yes, I think they would wake a great "odd ball" band.

Yes, I think they would wake a great "odd ball" band.

I know they'll gain a lot of power fans if they do play.

 

[No-Mercy]

they are a GREAT band.would be very cool.

 

[dcowboys311]

In short:

HELL FUCKING YES

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

Bring 'em!

 

[Sumeet]

Short answer: Yes.

Long Answer: They wouldn't have been a good fit for the fest 5 years ago, but they would work now.

If they are a strong live band, with good energy onstage, I think their material would go over great with the ProgPower audience.

 

[biggs0072000]

I concure with the above persons.

 

[Petethedrummer]

Fuck yes

 

[Megawozniak]

I like Ensiferum. They are courageous and heroic, and I could see them being anywhere between a 2nd to 4th slot.

 

[Palabra de Dios]

I would support them, or Falkenbach as an oddball, mixing the epic clean vocals with the devastating harsh vocals all pulled together in a folky, majestic way.

In short: YES.

 

[The_Kinslayer]

They would fit in and be pretty cool, but Wintersun is better in my opinion. I think they would work justas well.

 

[General Zod]

Hasn't Glenn said he wouldn't have a band with no clean vocals? And doesn't Ensiferum have no clean vocals?

[dcowboys311]

Ensiferum have some clean vocals, but the harsh vocals dominate the music.

I have their DVD and they sound awesome live. check em out on youtube but make sure you see something from the dvd(sound quality and all).



And Zod..

Yes, they do have plenty of clean vocals, almost every song has clean vocals. its like a chant-y viking thing, very cool, most songs have lead harsh vocals(kinda like children of bodom) but the choruses and some verses are sung by the guitarist and bassist, most of the time harmonizing.

I recommend you check out the song 'Tale of Revenge' for a taste of how good this band is.

Wintersun instead of Ensiferum plz Glenn if you're reading this

 

[TBJ]

Wintersun is also amazing but as far as Prog Power is concerned, i think Ensiferum fits more.

I'd love to see Wintersun in somthing like Gigantour or new England hardcore and metal festival

Actually, Ensiferum is less suitible for Prog Power I'd say than Wintersun who have both the cleans and the growls but also have epic songs both in length and scope, not to mention the virtuostic element you don't see in Ensiferum.

Ensiferum imo is more of a Heathen Crusade band.

 

[TBJ]

You know what. why not both for Prog Power? hehe
