WINDRIDER
Uno de los
discos con mayúsculas para mi dentro de la música, se trata de la
primera obra de Ensiferum, de 2001. Como ya hemos dicho, formados
en
1995, funcionaron con demos hasta 2001 en que sacan este disco, su
primer larga
duración de título "Ensiferum". Los dos primeros discos de estudio
tenian al genial Jari
Maempaa a la voz, (Ensiferum de 2001 y Iron de 2004), momento en que
deja la banda para crear la también magnifica Wintersun, de la que ya
hemos hablado aquí. A partir de 2004 , Ensiferum se hace con lor
servicios
de Petri Lidroos, que realizaba esa función en Norther, grupo al que
también
haremos referencia en este blog. Como decía al comienzo, este disco de
Ensiferum es posiblemente mi favorito de la banda, todos los temas
tienen un filo increible y entre ellos encontramos autenticos himnos del
grupo. Yo prefiero la primera época del grupo, con Jari a la voz,
aunque Petri fuera digno sucesor en funciones vocales en la banda, el
toque interpretativo y compositivo que añadía Jari se echa de menos en
ocasiones. Del disco que nos ocupa podría escoger todas y cada una de
las canciones, (sin exagerar), pero de momento dejare en el blog un
enlace a otra de sus mas aclamadas canciones en directo, "Windrider", temazo, (y cual no), que se va desarrollando desde el principio con esos riffs que te van metiendo en la canción, épica a raudales, melodía a raudales marca de la casa, un tema perfectamente construido, con esos tramos de melodia guitarrera que cortan cada cierto tiempo el trabajo de los riffs, melodía que se mete en la cabeza al instante, un 10, como el resto del disco, al que inevitablemente volveremos en más de una ocasión en el blog. Dejo un enlace a youtube de este "Windrider".
He appears from the mists of a dismal lake
and the sky crumbles as he flies through the dimensions alone
The night has laid a cape on his shoulders
and with a grin on his face he attacks with his loyal soldiers, into the unknown
There's no place for him in this world, and no ties
and all this hate and grief unite in his mind
Windrider - seeks freedom with vengeance on his mind
to escape from the crimson skygrave and fly away
Windrider - is waiting for the final day
when he'll be released from the shackles of a slave
In the eye of the storm he rides with jaded memories of his life
as the fires are dancing colorfully, he is struggling to survive
Trapped in a maze, can't get away, what have you became now
Take the hammer of the elders and crush your way out
His presence is shaking the land
as he stands at the mountain peak
His instincts are getting weak,
but there is still hunger in his eyes, that keeps him alive
He wears the mask of the hunted
Arts of light for him have been granted
He lives in the fragments of time
waiting for his time to die
...Windrider...
