The airline which flew ENSIFERUM to Portugal lost their gear – although somehow their backdrop arrived at its destination… – so the Finns went on stage in “plain clothes” and borrowed instruments. Why they asked for acoustic guitars instead of electric ones, like MEMORIAM had to do as well, beats me. But sometime after this festival they went on an acoustic mini-tour, so I’m guessing they’d been planning this for a while and some of us even wondered if this lost gear was just an excuse. Whatever the case, since I’m not a big fan of folk music and, on the other hand, I’m a sucker for acoustic sets, this turned out perfect for me. But if they keep covering JUDAS PRIEST‘s “Breaking The Law”, I just hope Lindroos has Googled for the lyrics by now…
Because one is never enough:
