Hello all,my name is Dimitris and I am from Greece.From that pikku Kreikka to the south of Europe as a Finn perhaps would describe it.
It was only a few months ago that I randomly discovered Turisas and I was impressed by their music,songs,lyrics everything in their spirit of this "Battle Metal"....this warrior epic songs.
A few days ago I discovered the Varangian Way,heard a few songs and read some lyrics and I just feel so happy that somebody actually made an album about the Varangians like my ancestors called them,the people who came from the North and became the most loyal and worthy warriors of the Byzantine Empire.The concept of the album is amazing,the lyrics and the music everything makes you feel that you're living the tales of all those hard Northern guys who sailed from the North in search of riches and fame.
And what made me almost cry was when I was reading the lyrics of Miklagard Overture that talks about the Queen of Cities,Constantinople and describes it in all it's grandeur and beauty and power(Greeks have a very special love for this city,after all it was our capital for 1100 years).
So I don't really know if anyone from Turisas will actually read this or not,I don't know.But I just wanted to say all this,thank you for making this masterpiece thank you for making us "dream" again,for making us want to stand up and grab a bloody sword and starting shouting,for making us feel this shiver everytime we listen to those songs.Kiitos paljon Turisas!
P.S.I haven't really looked yet,but are there any Turisas albums being currently sold in Greece now or we have to wait a bit?Because I seriously doubt they have any Turisas stuff here.This is the country where everything comes here late.
