Ensiferum - Sword Chant

Instrumentally it's terrific, but the vocals aren't quite my style. Does Ensiferum have songs with clean vocals (I have heard Lai Lai Hei) or is it all/mostly growling/screaming?

Ensiferum from the first two albums is a totally different band to what comes after, both in style and lineup (only one member retained).

So the first two albums are way more original, with more Metallica/thrash metal influences than melodeath or folk metal like the later stuff. Also, Jari handles both clean and harsh vocals and alternates between them on almost every song. Later on, they had two guys (badly) attempting to sing clean vocals and one guy doing growls. So I would suggest just avoiding those albums altogether.

Now, on those first two albums, Abandoned, Eternal Wait and Lost In Despair have mostly clean vocals. Treacherous Gods and Into Battle, and LAI LAI HEI which you've already heard have prominent clean vocal sections too. But check out the entire albums as they are really brilliant.

I listened to Iron in its entirety yesterday and it was mostly very good.
