Finnish folk metal icons ENSIFERUM today unveil their official new video for “The Howl.” The track is taken from the band’s Winter Storm full-length, out now on Metal Blade Records.
“The Howl” follows the band’s “Fatherland” video which told of a remote tribe who had been fighting against the Winter Storm Vigilantes.
“In ‘The Howl,’” Hinkka elaborates, “we leap ahead many years from the battle of ’Fatherland.’ The young boy grew up and became a shaman. His people are losing the war and as his last deed he calls the Old Spirits one last time. He sacrifices his mortal form and becomes a spirit wolf and starts his journey to find The One to avenge for his people’s fate. This song is very ENSIFERUM-ish to the core: catchy melodies, powerful harsh vocals and singalong chorus. We’ve already played it on a few gigs; it’s obviously a great live song!”
