Thalassic is the eighth studio album by Finnish folk metal band Ensiferum. It was released on 10 July 2020 through Metal Blade Records.[11] It is the first Ensiferum album to feature new keyboardist and clean vocalist Pekka Montin, who joined the band in February 2020.[12]
The album's title "thalassic" (which is derived from both French and Ancient Greek) means "of or relating to seas", which pertains to the theme of the album's lyrics.[13]
