Ensiferum: the winter storm unleashed – gallery of the show in London

Author Peterson Marti - 14.1.2026

Forget the January chill—the winter storm has arrived. Finnish folk metal legends Ensiferum turned London’s The Dome into a cinematic battlefield, bringing their latest concept album to life with soaring vocals and relentless energy.

The night was a whirlwind of metal subgenres: Dragony kicked things off with epic symphonic storytelling and a powerful new dual-vocal lineup, followed by Freedom Call, who defied the winter gloom with their signature “Happy Metal” and iconic silver glittery trousers.
