• Lords of Metal: rating 89/100 ...The music can best be described as a mix of Cruachan, Korpiklaani, In Extremo and Thyrfing. In short; clawing pagan/viking metal grinded together with atmospheric folk elements and themes... read the whole review here

DOWNLOAD: Fairyland - Of Wars In Osyrhia [Japanese Edition] (2003)

Metal Invader: rating 3/6 Excellent release in the vein of early HELLOWEEN, NIGHTWISH, STRATOVARIUS. Great melodies, bombastic songs and a strong high pitched melodic voice that creates a fairytale surround. Imagine the BLIND GUARDIAN sound with a more capable vocalist with a wide vocal range. The songs are all about the mythical kingdom of Osyrhia and they are intense, melodic power metal compositions with excellent guitar work. Lengthy some of them are a good example of bands that are about to become the new blood it the power metal genre in Europe. All fans of the melody and power, must check them. read the whole review here

• The Metal Observer: rating 9/10 The tension made the quite long and bombastic intro “Ad Victoriam” even longer (don’t get me wrong, it is a good one, it just doesn’t tell you anything about the album yet), but as soon as “Blood Is The Price Of Glory” thunders out of the speakers any potential negative thoughts are dispersed immediately, as this is how we know and love ENSIFERUM: powerful double-bass, great melodies, harsh vocals in the verse, some choir in the chorus, what a start. read the whole review here

• Lords of Metal: rating 94/100 A chopping battle song, powerful and epic in which we have a calm part in the midst of them black metal fury. As bold as brass is 'The New Dawn' and then we are arrived at the magnum opus of the record. The title track 'Victory Song' unites all strong Ensiferum characteristics in one extensive composition. Melancholy, brutality, melodic guitar runs, raucous screams and robust folk harmony vocals. read the whole review here

The Metal Observer: rating 9.5/10 What we are treated to is simply amazing. "Beyond The Dark Sun" is comprised of strong Power Metal drumming, melodic and catchy riffs rounded out by Death Metal vocals. The guitar work from Jari is pretty amazing. It's flashy, technical and impressive without going over the top. The song is so short that you want more here. The drums sort of enter the blast beat zone on "Winter Madness." Also, added here are elements of folk that shine through which only enhance the band's sound and not hurting it. Some of the riffs during the solo here are reminiscent of Yngwie, but only fresher. read the whole review here

The Metal Observer: rating 8.5/10 The concept album about the battle for Hellas in the year 480 B.C. is very enjoyable and has a certain "warrior" feeling. There are no speed songs or nursery rhymes, no, HOLY MARTYR are so OLD SCHOOL that even the production sounds relatively authentic. Just listen to the eight and a half minute hammer "The Lion of Sparta" and you'll have to admit that this epicism is just irresistible. Everybody wants to draw his sword and fight along!
