Ensiferum-1997-1999 (2005)

Here, we have the humble beginnings of a now-giant name in the world of folk metal, Ensiferum. This album contains their first three demos, and shows a slightly more raw, but nonetheless amazing Ensiferum as they were their first couple years. These demos contain many originals that were used/remade on later albums to follow, and it is interesting to see how this band's sound evolved from here. While not a necessary release, it still is quite good in it's own right. Recommended, especially to all Ensiferum fans.
