  •  Info: "Andromeda" music video by the Finnish folk metal band Ensiferum. Created by Metal Blade Records; uploaded and nominated by The Cosmonaut (talk) 18:48, 4 July 2020 (UTC).[reply]

  •  Support. I hadn't heard of this group, but they get a substantial Wikipedia article. The video is very professional and polished and the music is good, though I didn't expect it to start with screaming. I couldn't decipher most of the words, but that's a common issue in these types of recordings. Overall, a very worthy candidate, and we're lucky the video is available to use here. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:15, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Per Ikan. Most of the music videos we get to judge here are like Big Buck Bunny: not quite Pixar level but the best we can get under a free license. This is different, these are actually professional musicians who not only have been doing this for many years, but also have been quite successful doing so in the real world. As far as I can tell (my metal days are long gone and I never really liked this kind of singing), the music is a good representation of the sub-genre. The video ticks all the boxes as well: hairy band performing with plenty of head banging (bonus: glacial abrasion on coastal rocks in the background suggests a Scandinavian setting), wolf in the fog, antlers used as headgear, very sparsely dresses females in the forest … cliché² --El Grafo (talk) 10:34, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
