ENSIFERUM RELEASE NEW MUSIC VIDEO - BAND ON TOUR WITH DARK TRANQUILLITY IN SPRING 2022
Ensiferum released their critically acclaimed full-length, Thalassic, in 2020 via Metal Blade Records. The Finland-based group are extremely excited to bring the album on the road in the spring of 2022 on a co-headline run with Swedish metal masters, Dark Tranquillity.
To celebrate the news, the band released a new video for the fan-favourite cut "Run From The Crushing Tide" from Thalassic. The Vesa Ranta (Solstafir, Dark Tranquillity, Swallow the Sun).
Sammi Hinka comments: "After such a long time of darkness & uncertainty in the live music scene, we are very happy to finally reveal a light at the end of the tunnel! We'll be joining forces with the legendary Dark Tranquillity for a massive co-headlining tour around Europe. It's no secret that back in the day, Dark Tranquillity was one of the bands that inspired Markus Toivonen to start Ensiferum and now we are hitting the road with our heroes. How awesome is that?! We are sure that everyone is craving some energetic and ass-kicking live music experiences (we sure are!) and with this line-up, this tour is not to be missed. So get your ticket in advance & help support the return of live music! We can't wait to see you in the front row!"
The initial vinyl run of Thalassic has long since sold out, but a new batch of LPs have been announced for release on October 29. Fans can pre-order copies here.
