TURISAS Makes Triumphant Return To North America As Direct Support To Dragonforce This Fall
Finnish warmongers TURISAS are set to make their much anticipated return to North American shores this fall as direct support to Dragonforce. The massive two month trek, which kicks off on NOVEMBER 3rd, is the follow up to the group's highly successful run as part of Paganfest 2008 this past spring, which also featured their fellow countrymen Ensiferum, plus Tyr and Eluveitie. The tour will also be in support of their forthcoming and first official DVD (more info on that TBA).
The critically acclaimed new offering, The Varangian Way, was recently reissued with a DVD jammed packed with live performance footage.
Be sure to visit www. myspace. com/turisasofficial now to view their complete touring itinerary and to check out their "Rasputin" video.
Warlord (vocals) further states: "Our first North American tour this spring was a success: the turnout was way over our expectations and the crowds were crazy as hell. That's why we are well excited to be returning to the new continent this fall.
So lock up your livestock, beer and daughters as the battle metal legion is coming your way!"
