芬兰维京金属三剑客之Ensiferum Ensiferum取名于拉丁语（英译：The Sword-wearing），网络上多翻译为：圣剑。是一支来自芬兰的民谣/维京金属(Folk/Viking Metal)乐队。他们完美的将传统的民谣与中世纪旋律融合在重金属里，创造了一个独一无二的Ensiferum神话。
1997年由于Jari要去服兵役，乐队不得不休眠一阵。Jari于同年底归队后他们录制了第一张小样。仅有的300盒小样卡带在此后的一年里散布在了世界的各个角落并获得的良好的回应。
1998年发生了几次成员变动，Jukka-Pekka Miettinen作为低音吉他加入；乐队Arthemesia的鼓手Oliver Fokin与Ensiferum原鼓手 Kimmo Miettinen互换，加入到了彼此的乐队。此后乐队的阵容一直固定到了现在，他们是：Jari Maenpaa （主唱，吉他） Markus Toivonen （吉他）Jukka-Pekka Miettinen（低音吉他）和Oliver Fokin （鼓手）。
1999年初，Ensiferum录制了他们的第二张备受欢迎的小样，顿时信心倍增。同年底又在芬兰首都赫尔辛基的MD录音棚里完成了他们的第三张小样《Hero in a Dream》，被‘Noise’，‘Metal Blade’和‘Suomi Finland Perkele’等许多杂志评为了当月最佳Demo。此时，乐队的不凡表现引起了众多唱片公司的注意。芬兰著名的Spinefarm唱片公司成功与其签约。除此之外，乐队更是凭借此张小样的惊人成绩获得了很多登台演出的机会。并且不仅在芬兰，在瑞典和意大利的电台里也在播放他们的音乐。乐队对当时所取得的成绩感到非常的兴奋。
2000年底，乐队的首张同名专辑《Ensiferum》在Sundi-Coop录音棚完成了录音工作。专辑里面还邀请了一些客作乐手：Trollhorn (键盘), Johanna Vakkuri (女声) 和Marita Toivonen (康特勒琴)。这张处女堞的混音工作做的非常细致，历经半年，也就是到了2001年7月才终于正是发行。Ensiferum的这张同名专辑在欧洲金属界引起了巨大的反响，众多权威乐评杂志都给予了满分的评价。此外，2001年初乐队正式添了键盘手Meiju Enho，使成员增加到了5名。经过两年多漫长的等待后，Ensiferum的第二张大碟《Iron》于2003年底至2004年初推出。
New Label, One Man Army, and Two Paths (2013−Onward)
Ensiferum's sixth album, One Man Army, was released on 20 February 2015. The album was recorded at Astia Studio with producer Anssi Kippo. A music video for the title track "One Man Army" was released prior to the album's release.In March of that year, Ensiferum announced on their Facebook page that keyboardist Emmi Silvennoinen would not be able to make the European and North American "One Man Army Tour" due to personal commitments at home. Former Turisas accordion player Netta Skog filled her role for the tour. Skog had performed clean vocals on the One Man Army songs Cry for the Earth Bounds and Neito Pohjolan.
On 31 March 2016 it was announced that Emmi Silvennoinen would take a leave of absence from the band because of personal issues. Netta Skog was confirmed as her permanent replacement. With Skog in the line-up, the band entered the studio to record their seventh studio album, Two Paths. Anssi Kippo, who had produced One Man Army, was again chosen to produce the album. The band focused on a more "organic" sound for Two Paths, using analog recording and neglecting to use a click track for certain songs.Two Paths was released on 15 September 2017.
Accordionist Netta Skog left the band in December of 2017.
