# Event Details - **Event Name**: ENSIFERUM - WINTERSTORM OVER EUROPE I Batschkapp, Frankfurt I 20.01.26 - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 20 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm - **Event Description**: Einlass: 18:00 Beginn: 19:00 Special Guest: FREEDOM CALL Opening Act: DRAGONY The last time that Ensiferum left the studio with a new album, the world promptly shut down due to the covid pandemic. The Finnish folk-metal Melodeath sensation maintained a prolific release schedule since their first demo in 1997, gradually increasing in stature until eighth album Thalassic crowned their ascent in 2020. The nautical opus went on to top Finland's album chart, reaching #3 in Germany, and top ten in Switzerland, Canada and the USA. Eventually Ensiferum would take Thalassic on two massive world tours and to festivals like Wacken, Hellfest, Summer Breeze and Ragnarök, but the global health hoo-hah ensured that the four-year wait for Winter Storm is the longest in the band's near-30-year history. Much of the new material emerged in the lockdown era, when Ensiferum's founding guitarist Markus Toivonen set himself the challenge of finding new ways to make music - eventually composing every song except the rousing, anthemic Fatherland, written by bassist Sami Hinkka. Even though the Helsinki quintet's infectious brand of folk-metal has always evoked atmospheres of olden times, Markus found himself unexpectedly embracing 21st century methodology: "When Thalassic was done, everything looked good, almost too good to be true," remembers Markus. "Then covid hit and obviously ruined everything. I had way too much time at home, so as an old-school composer I learned to make demos with the computer for the first time ever." Getting to grips with Logic Pro, Markus found his belated dalliance with modern technology far more stimulating creatively than he'd imagined. "I was able to try and experience how the ideas would sound by building the 'band' with digital midis, adding stems and other neat stuff into songs," he enthuses. "All that fed my inspiration, and I felt making music was even more fantastic than it had been before. Displeasure with covid probably was the reason why the songs might be a little bit more epic and gloomier than before, and of course composing with a different style added up. When I had most of the song structures ready, we went through them in our rehearsal room where the final arrangement happened with the band, then the recording process was quite easy and uncomplicated." - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/frankfurt/ensiferum-winterstorm-over-europe-i-batschkapp-frankfurt-i-200126/200028992601554 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, festivals, contests, workshops, health-wellness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 165 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Frankfurt - **state**: HE - **country**: Germany - **location**: Gwinnerstr. 5, 60388 Frankfurt, Germany - **lat**: 50.13553 - **long**: 8.73926 - **full address**: Gwinnerstr. 5, 60388 Frankfurt, Germany, Gwinnerstraße 5, 60388 Frankfurt am Main, Deutschland, Frankfurt, Germany ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: ENSIFERUM - WINTERSTORM OVER EUROPE I Batschkapp, Frankfurt I 20.01.26 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/dc84d760117ac418de4eb2edae3d8e296c3b329c436f24a631748bd8e417a5b6-rimg-w1200-h444-dc5f5d60-gmir?v=1768889871 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is ENSIFERUM - WINTERSTORM OVER EUROPE I Batschkapp, Frankfurt I 20.01.26 being held? - **A:** ENSIFERUM - WINTERSTORM OVER EUROPE I Batschkapp, Frankfurt I 20.01.26 takes place on Tue, 20 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Tue, 20 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm at Gwinnerstr. 5, 60388 Frankfurt, Germany, Gwinnerstraße 5, 60388 Frankfurt am Main, Deutschland, Frankfurt, Germany. - **Q**: Who is organizing ENSIFERUM - WINTERSTORM OVER EUROPE I Batschkapp, Frankfurt I 20.01.26? - **A:** ENSIFERUM - WINTERSTORM OVER EUROPE I Batschkapp, Frankfurt I 20.01.26 is organized by Batschkapp Frankfurt. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
