Ensiferum

Ensiferum is one of the bigger names in folk metal, a Finnish band that built their sound on galloping riffs, choir-style gang vocals, and lyrics steeped in Norse myth and battle imagery. They helped define the genre alongside bands like Korpiklaani and Turisas, mixing melodic death metal aggression with folk melodies played on everything from flutes to accordions.

With over 350,000 followers on Spotify, they've built a devoted following among fans of metal that doesn't take itself too seriously while still hitting hard. They bring their live show to Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, a chance to catch a band that treats every set like a battle anthem.
