The Finnish folk metal band Ensiferum have announced that they will be playing a series of acoustic shows in Europe this December. Here is more details about this special tour from their bassist Sami Hinkka:
“Just to tell you guys a bit more about the whole idea of these acoustic gigs. Ensiferum has always had acoustic elements and also whole acoustic songs on the albums but those have been impossible to add to traditional metal gigs. So we decided to create a setlist that would include songs that haven’t ever been played outside of Finland. Not just acoustic songs but also some very rare songs that we rearranged a bit to fit the acoustic atmosphere. Most of the setlist will be songs that haven’t been heard ever outside of Finland so even if you saw Ensiferum within the last years, this show will blow your mind! Partying, beer, moshpits, singalong, crowd surfing has always been a big part of Ensiferum’s metal gigs, how about this time? Fear not, it’s not going to be a ballads-only-evening, because we also include some old hit songs that went through an acoustic metamorphosis to keep the party spirit high! So see you all in the acoustic moshpit!”
They will be joined by a Finnish acoustic rock band called TRIO DE FACTO.
To give you an idea of what kind of show you can expect, here is a video of one of their acoustic performances in Helsinki back in 2016:
It’s busy times ahead for the American metal band All The Remains. Their new album ‘Victim Of The New Disease’ will be out on 9th November 2018 via Fearless Records. It is rumored to be their “ heaviest record since ….for We Are Many” and it will feature a guest performance from Danny Worsnop (Asking Alexandria).

The American hard rock band Bad Wolves have recently announced that they will be embarking on their first ever European tour this autumn. Here’s a statement about this from their singer Tommy Vext:
“Last year when I stood in for 5fdp on a few of their shows I was reminded how passionate and loyal European fans are. When BW released ‘Zombie’ earlier this year we got the same, great response and couldn’t believe the massive wave of support from all over Europe, especially given that we’re a new band. Not a day has gone by that we don’t get tons of messages from fans demanding for us to come over. Originally, we were planning to do so in 2019 but it became clear that the time is now and we had to find a way. Coincidingly, Three Days Grace invited us to join them in Europe this Fall so we didn’t think twice and here we are. We couldn’t be more excited and can’t wait to see all of you out there at the shows.”
They will be joining Canadian rockers Three Days Grace. The tour will start in Portsmouth, The U.K. in October.
