bloodmusic Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 PRE-ORDER: November 20th at 5PM Finnish time (10AM NYC). Blood Music will be presenting the debut works from Finnish folk metal masters Ensiferum on wax for the first time in history. The band's first and sophomore works -- "Ensiferum" and "Iron" -- featured a young Jari Mäenpää of Wintersun and the early genesis of his sound can be heard clearly here. Both records will get the deluxe, special edition treatment with ultra-limited, ultra-high-quality triple gatefold layouts and full remastering for vinyl. Alongside the releases will come our favorite Finnish melodic death metal album of all-time -- Kalmah "The Black Waltz," also hitting wax for the first time in history in a special edition triple gatefold layout.

anchorlessbodies Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Wow, the S/T Ensiferum is so much nostalgia. I don't think it's worth the 30 euro price tag though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodmusic Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Welp, up to you! The clear vinyl on both records totally sold out within a few hours, and the Finnish Flag colored vinyl is fairly low in stock. These've done quite well for themselves in only a few hours. http://www.blood-music.com/store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devoured Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Went with the Finnish Flag version over the clear. Hope the final version looks good as the picture. All three of these albums are amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
