Biography:
Ensiferum (Latin: ensiferum, meaning "sword bearing") is a Finnish extreme power metal/folk metal band from Helsinki.
Ensiferum was founded in 1995 by Markus Toivonen (guitar), Sauli Savolainen (bass) and Kimmo Miettinen (drums). In the next year, Jari Mäenpää was taken into the band as singer and second guitar-player. In 1997, the first demo was released, containing three songs.
In 1998, Sauli and Kimmo left the band and were replaced by Jukka-Pekka Miettinen (Kimmo's little brother, then 14 years old) and Oliver Fokin.

Liekö enää päällä maan

Jonne tie vie jokainen
Kun kuolema vie viimeisen
Keskellä liekkien ikuinen
Puu ja maailma ihmisten

Niin loppuu aikamme
