Arkona are way, way better than Ensiferum. They bring it to another level and perhaps are the best folk metal band in general, better than Skyclad, that's for sure. It doesn't always seem like that on first listen and the Russian language is a barrier, but they really are pros and it shines through on repeated listens. One of the better metal bands going really.
Ensiferum are pretty shitty in general tbh. Folk metal fucking sucks, unless its folk black, and even then most of the time its terrible there as well.
Folk and metal just shouldn't be mixed. [/controversial]
This.
EDIT: Just a quick side story, I saw Ensiferum at a festival in Anaheim years ago. Mightve been Summer Slaughter?...Anyway, the lead singer during one of his songs screams, "Come on ATLANTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAA!!!"...Being that we were in Anaheim, it was very funny because he continued to go on even after the song until the whole crowd started shouting that we were in ANAHEIM.
As if their music wasnt enough to make me laugh at them. They are fucking stupid. And dont even get me started about Finntroll.![]()
