I really like the Equilibrium album, thanks for the recommendation. They remind me a bit of Suidakra but with more keyboards, which makes them sound a lot like ...Ensiferum.
It definitely wasn't in the same league as the new Moonsorrow and is weighted more towards the Finntrollish side of the genre, but comes across as being much more serious...still good shit in my book.
moonsarrow are cool enough just for saying this in there studio diary:
"As for now, I'm still shivering from the last night's film, "Tremors", where humongous giant worms attacked Kevin Bacon from under the ground! Eeek!!!"
