September is going to be the best month I've had in a while. New Insomnium, and now this.... can't wait.

Jari hasn't been a part of Ensiferum for a while now. He was replaced with Petri Lindroos (ex Norther) in 2004 or 2005

Petri is a good replacement.

Ironic of him leaving Norther like that though.

Borknagar, Ensiferum, and Insomnium in one month? Holy shit. I'm hoping they'll have another long track like "Victory Song" on this one. "The Longest Journey" sounds promising.

when they have songs titled "stone cold metal" they kinda deserve a yuck.

this band is nothing without Jari.

Ohhh, I forgot about him leaving.
I honestly didn't listen to "Victory Songs" at all, but I LOVE old ensiferum.
So tell me, do they absolutely suck without him, or are there any redeeming qualities?

well Victory Songs bores me, but it isn't completely devoid of quality.

I'm sure this band will do alright... they just won't be as good.

glorified power metal GO

band was good with Jari. They will most likely never surpass their albums with him, because even then they were only as good as power metal can be, and that's not very good at all.

Well for all you know, whoever you're recommending this to could be gay so that would make listening to an ensiferum album literally an orgasmic experience....just sayin'

TH? I can think of loads of PM bands that destroy these guys. Their s/t is boring and every song sounds the same

I don't think the song title refers to metal cliches, but refers to a shiny sword stabbing into all of the haters of this band.
