Imagine a time when warriors strode the earth. A time when battle-painted warrior-poets sang of battles and heady feats of heroism, myth intermingled with fact, and romantic notions of adventure on the high seas sparked the imagination. The time is now, because so-called battle metal maestros TURISAS – named after their homeland's ancient god of war – are bringing back the old –school with the sophomore album "The Varangian Way".



"We definitely have high expectations lined up after the success of our debut album "Battle Metal"", says vocalist and producer Warlord. "Quite often the second album is done in a rush and doesn't live up to the standards of the debut. We took three years to get it right, and there's no doubt about it: "The Varangian Way" tops "Battle Metal" with such ease I almost feel sorry for our debut."



In order to get a first taste check out a medley of two brand-new songs, "To Holmgard And Beyond" and "A Portage To The Unknown" at www.myspace.com/turisasofficial.



Another small detail that still emphasizes the uniqueness of "The Varangian Way" is the fact that all solos were played on an electric violin instead of a guitar – and there are many more tiny details that you will notice while listening to the album.



Graphic artist, illustrator and designer John Coulthart (Cradle Of Filth; Hawkwind; poster and cover art for spoken word albums by writer Alan Moore ["Watchmen", "V for Vendetta"]) did the stunning artwork for this special album that will give you further insight on the brave travelers' journey through the East.



With already confirmed slots at Download (mainstage), Graspop, With Full Force, Rock Hard Festival, Tuska, and plans for a relentless, take-no-prisoners tour already underway, 2007 is the year TURISAS take the world by storm.



Grab the nearest sword and wench and join them on their quest - to Holmgard, and beyond!

Me too. Here in the "UK", we have a channel called "Rockworld", which generally sucks. However, they hosted a "get into the ring" 4 band vs live performance.

Ley me tell ya, Turisas fucking ruled. In a major fashion.

Hollywood metal :kickass:

(deep voice) Turisas.... coming soon to a cinema near you
 
Bal-Sagoth do not have an album called Battle Metal, it's BATTLE MAGIC...

Also, this is going to be good, I liked the debut!
 
They need to make more songs like Sahati-Warri or whatever it is called and I'll listen more, the whole epic fanfare thing lost me after about 2 months.
