Torrent: ENSIFERUM - 10TH ANNIVERSARY LIVE (2006) [DVD9] [PAL] [FALLEN ANGEL] |
...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI
This DVD was released to celebrate Ensiferum’s 10 years in action, and I was very impressed!
The concert was recorded on Newyears eve 2005 in Helsinki, Finland. I’m a huge fan of Ensiferum, and have long wondered what they would sound like live, since I’ve never got to see them myself, and it’s a killer performance! The instruments sound almost exactly as it does in the studio, no fuckups or something like that. The only thing which is a bit of a downside is the vocals. Jari was a great, great vocalist, and I think it’s quite hard to replase him. Petri Lindroos of Norther was not the greatest choice in my opinion. He sounds good in the studio, but live he sounds forced. His microphone also have an annoying effect on it, sounding like he is singing inside a box or something. The vocals of Markus Toyvonen and Sami Hinka was a surprise, however. Sinse Jari had such a majestic and room filling voice, I thought this would not be half as great, but as I said, I was surprised in a positive way. Markus, I think, sounds a bit hilarious though, being a 28 year old or something, he sounded more like my age. although Markus struggles with hitting the notes sometimes, it’s just charming, because Ensiferum isn’t supposed to be Iron Maiden or a power metal band with ultrahigh notes and extremely good technical singing or something.
The song selection was very good. I never had a boring time listening to this. Although I was hoping they could play Little Dreamer or Sword Chant, but maybe Markus would have a really hard time singing those Halford like notes in the latter. The consert starts with the intro from their debut album, and then kicks into Hero in a dream, one of the best songs of the Ensiferum discography. It continues with great songs like Tale of revenge, Guardians of fate, Lai Lai hei, Token of time, Iron, and of course, the closer, Battle song.
There’s also two guests on this, Kaisa Sari on Tears and Finnish medley, which she also did in the studio. I think she did a very good job, almost better than in the studio. We also have that Ville Tuomi guy from Amorphis, adding vocals on their cover of the Amorphis song, Into hiding. I must admit, I haven’t heard much of that band, but he does a relatively good performance. I think his screams in the beginning of the song is awesome! Maybe a band worth checking out a little more?
The production is also good, but it could have been a little louder, but that can have something to do with my TV. Although as I have stated earlier, Petri’s microphone is horrible! As the previous reviewer also have mentioned, the crowd should have been a bit louder in the mixing, but it’s not something to wine much about.
I recommend you to buy this if you are an Ensiferum fan, but if you are new to them, I strongly advise you to check out their albums first. But it’s a nice addition to a folk metalers collection.
