Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Victory Songs' is the third studio album by the Finnish metal band Ensiferum, and the first full-length to feature vocalist and guitarist Petri Lindroos. The tracking seamlessly blends aggressive melodic death metal riffing with cinematic orchestration and traditional Nordic folk instrumentation. It further cemented the band's status as leading figures in the mid-2000s folk metal movement.
