Possibility of buying Turisas demo/EP

[SchwaerdLust]

Probably the answer will be very very simple, but hell, I'll give it a shot.

Is there any way to become proud owner of a 1998 / 1999 demo copy, or to get hold of the 2001 EP?
Internetsearch didn't brought me so far...

Just growl it right here,
thanks in advance!

Hails.

The 98-demo was never released and so the only existing format is still a C-cassette pretty much only I have.

'99-promo: maybe 5-10 CD-R copies made and sent to a few Finnish (and Estonian) promoters. Never brought us any gigs actually

2001: The Heart of Turisas. 500 copies printed. Sold out since 2003. Most of them went to Finland, but maybe sometime you might find one on eBay. A few times I've seen some for sale at the Finnish metal portal imperiumi.net forums. "Sikaa Säkissä" is the Buy/Sell subforum, so maybe a post there might work if you're lucky.

They're all pretty crap, so believe me, you're not missing out on anything by not having them.

Pretty sure I will give it a try at the link you just gave, thanks for that!
Does 'Turisas' and 'Crap' go together in 1 line anyway? I don't believe so hehe

- hoping for luck, -
Does anyone on this forum has a demo/EP record, which I can buy from whoëver you are? Probably a shot in the dark.


Greetings,

Id also like to have a listen of this, im glad the topic was brought up.

You have to stop putting down your past Mathias! The Heart of Turisas mcd is fucking brilliant! You know, you actually had fans before releasing Battle Metal :Smug: I haven't heard the entire early demos but I have the song Taiston Tie from the '98 demo and it is fucking massive as well. Poor performance and poor sound but a good song is a good song!!

Yeah, 'The Heart of Turisas', is great, I waited years for Battle Metal, after picking up the EP when it was released.

I wouldn't sell mine, unless I was offered stupid money for it.

75p?

 

[gaz]

£75 and you might have me interested

 

[Doobiedoo]

downloading it and burning it to CD would probably grant you the same quality of artwork and casing that the typical startup-demo contains

 

[gaz]

Artwork is basic yes, but issued as a digipak.
Yes you can d/l mp3's, definately not the same as loss-less audio.

I wanted to say thanks again for this suggestion, by placing a request on there today I received the 2001 Heart of Turisas demo - which I quiet enjoy alot- from a Finnish brother. Wonderful work!

Battle on!

 

[Tonberry]

Yeah I got a copy a while ago

 

[kleinerTroll]

The Demo is intelectual property of Turisas, isn't it?
So the Band (or somebody in it's order) could burn some more Demo-CD's and sell it to the true Fans here in the forum ... ?

...aswell as put their old stuff up for download perhaps?

crappy or not, tons of people would be very gratefull to give those tracks a spin...I know I would lol
