BW&BK; has received the following update from Munich-based photography studio ShutterBLAST.net:

"ShutterBLAST long time favorites ENSIFERUM came to crush our necks tonight (October 21st) with some bombastic pagan folk metal from our second home, Finland. Enjoy their new stage set-up below, pictures fresh from the cam here . Be ready for a lot more Ensiferum pics from other shows in the next few days!"

Ensiferum recently released some live footage, recorded on their From Afar tour. Check out the clip for 'Twilight Tavern', filmed at Nosturi in Helsinki, Finland, below.

The band recently unveiled Mobile Twilight Tavern, the virtual hotline between fans and the band from anywhere in the world.

Hear what happens on the road and in the backrooms exclusively through your mobile phone, in real time. In addition to viewing and sharing videos, pictures and messages, you can comment and rate material and also connect with other fans. Step into this secret world and have Ensiferum in your pocket, but at your own risk, because you never know what awaits once you ride with these sword-wielding Finns!

Mobile Twilight Tavern is compatible with most Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones as well as many LGs and Samsungs. iPhone and Nokia touch screen versions will be published later this year. To download the application, follow this link.

Ensiferum will return to North America in November for a full headlining tour. Support will be provided by HYPOCRISY, EX DEO, BLACKGUARD and SWASHBUCKLE (on select dates). The tour will coincide with the release of the band's new full-length, From Afar.
