Ensiferum release new music video for ‘The Howl’

ENSIFERUM have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track The Howl, is taken from Finnish folk metal band’s brand new studio album, Winter Storm, which was released in October last year, via Metal Blade Records.

Speaking about the new music video, bassist Sami Hinkka shares, “in The Howl we leap ahead many years from the battle of Fatherland. The young boy grew up and became a shaman. His people are losing the war and as his last deed he calls the Old Spirits one last time. He sacrifices his mortal form and becomes a spirit wolf and starts his journey to find The One to avenge for his people‘s fate. This song is very ENSIFERUM-ish to the core: catchy melodies, powerful harsh vocals and singalong chorus. We’ve already played it on a few gigs; it’s obviously a great live song!”
