So, Ensiferum has just released the music video for their track, ‘One Man Army’, from One Man Army album. I came across the band last year and I liked their style, you know, the battle style. Couldn’t get my hands on lyrics, so I won’t focus on it.
Musically, I AM IN LOVE. Man, they really improved their music from the last time I listened to them. I love the vocals pretty much more than I did before – psst, I was not a fan of the vocals before. The orchestral (or I don’t know what they call it) is a great addition to the track, I gotta admit, they’re my favorite part. The guitar is so, smooth? If that was a solo or semi solo, I liked it! The drums is just… woah.
Now, to the video part, I always prefer the appearance of the band in a video, not just focused on the story. I love the mixture between the band and the story; it’s enthusiastic. The hair of each member headbanging, though.
On the other side, the video starts with the band playing and then comes a chained man, coated woman, a man with an axe and a coated skeleton (Grim reaper?). To be honest, I have no idea what happens throughout the music video to these characters but the band has the whole spotlight. I kinda love it. The music is enjoyable; the band is better than I could remember.
