Very good album, but somehow different

From Afar (ltd. Edition digipack incl. 1 bonus track) (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Hi dear Ensiferumfans and those who want to be there;)

because me the album "Victory Songs" has unfortunately somehow disappointed, I Ensiferum so bissl lost sight of. But then I saw their new album "From Afar" are in the store. Did then equal times slammed me, and fed the car radio with CD.

Once your typical instrumental intro. And shortly afterwards we went even wrong with the creeps.

This time it is, I think, harder than the other albums. This, however, I find really successful and complemented great with the usual epic Chorgesaengen (about the "different" in my heading)

The highlight of the album is very clear to me: "Heathen Throne". A Hammer reef, a wonderful solo and every now and then a "droning passage" for which in the 11 minutes enough time.

The bonus track is also well done and worthwhile in any case, to the mitzuholen equal.

My conclusion is:
That, in my opinion, more harsher album than its predecessors, has clearly earned my buy recommendation and a clear conscience I give 5 stars. Also, the bonus track is worthwhile. Too bad I find, however, that the limited edition comes with a bonus track. Lieber should have been to lie live performances because as both editions have some of the bonus song.

Best Regards
