Long Cold Winter Of Sorrow And Strife is the latest single from Finnish folk metal giants, ENSIFERUM. The heroic new track comes by way of the band’s stunning new studio album, Winter Storm, set for release on October 18 through Metal Blade Records.
ENSIFERUM has 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 United States. The global COVID pandemic however ensured that the four-year wait for Winter Storm would be the longest in the band’s near-thirty-year history.
