Opeth

Try latter Suidakra, early Thyrfing, Finntroll, and Moonsorrow's first two full-lengths

 

[AsModEe]

Wintersun is still the best " viking/folk " band around. One of my favorite album of 2004...

And where does Ensiferum come in that list ?

 

[Phylactery]

Probably left them off because they’re shit.

Also, this thread is from 2005!

I heard their first album is legit, alas I have not heard it.

If you don't like Ensiferum's style, you probably still won't like their debut. It's just Ensiferum but toned down a bit.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Nothing i've heard from Ensiferum is offensively bad.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

I like them to a degree. A toned down version may just work.

wdym Ensiferum is shit !?!?

I don't think they're unlistenable, but I do think that they're uninteresting. I can't imagine listening to an album by them without wanting to change to something else.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I liked them when I was 16 but I sold off their debut a while ago.

That's called preference for other things.
