It is once again time for me to give my opinion of a metal CD. This time I am going to review a new CD from an old band. So first a brief history lesson…

Divine Eve hailed from Plano (Dallas) Texas. They we’re formed back in the early 90′s by 2 members of Catharsis. They signed with Nuclear Blast records back in 1993 and released 1 EP, As The Angels Weep. They did a song for a Celtic Frost tribute CD released by Dwell records. There was supposed to be a CD (Essence of Dawn) released through Candlelight/Gothic Records, but it never happened, so the band released it themselves on cassette. A track from the EOD promo appeared on the Nuclear Blast Comp (Death… Is just the Beginning III). They did some brief touring in 1994 and then disbanded in 1995.

The viking metal masters Ensiferum return with their newest effort. This one is called Victory Songs and I suppose that’s accurate as this release is another victory.

Ensiferum just keeps on going. Each release as good or better than the last. I doubt they will ever top Iron as that is a total masterpiece IMO. Though each CD seems to have that certain melodic warrior style that I like so much about this band.
