Finland's sword-bearing metal merchants Ensiferum present a crushing mini-CD, filled to the brim with melodies honoring the Nordic pagan heritage, delivered with the firm conviction of seasoned professionals they are. “Dragonheads” is also the first Ensiferum’s recording to feature Petri Lindroos from Norther as a full member of the band on guitar and vocals, filling the boots left by Jari (now pursuing a successful solo career with Wintersun). Another newcomer is Janne Parviainen (ex-Barathrum, ex-Waltari) on drums, who replaced Oliver Fokin.
CD includes 5 new tracks plus a cover song of Amorphis' "Into Hiding". "Dragonheads" take no chance, be sure to prepare yourself for this ultimate mix of Metal, Folk and traditional Finnish Metal!!
