Turisas is a symphonic folk metal band from Finland that incorporates a very visual and battle oriented stage presence. Right off the bat you're probably thinking of one word, and that word is "cheese", and I can't really say that you'd be wrong when you make that accusation. They certainly are very outward with their appearance on stage as well as in their music, and people either seem to love that about a group, or absolutely despise it. A lot of it will probably depend on what you're expecting, and one look at the admittedly silly album cover will most likely give you an idea. It's the same style that they've had their whole discography, only seemingly bloated with more corny-but-catchy Viking ballads and war chants. Again, that is a good point. However, on their latest release, Turisas have managed to craft a surprisingly great symphonic metal record that succeeds in both vigor and charm. Read more ›› |

I don't really understand why some people are disappointed with this release. Sure, it's a little less aggressive than their previous albums, but I think this (with the help of a stronger focus of symphonic elements in the song writing) gives their music a more whimsical movie/classic RPG soundtrack feel. I mean, if "End Of An Empire" doesn't make you wanna fight (and die) for the glory of your homeland and ancestors, then you may as well drop your mighty battleaxe and banish yourself from the Kingdom of Metal. So sit back, relax, and let Turisas take you on little imaginary adventures with each epic track on Stand Up and Fight! Fat & Sassy!'s picks | More picks ›› |

This album is better than a lot of people give it credit for.

Written by gopherhawk2@gmail.co on 03.05.2012 at 06:14 Agreed, IMO this and The Varangian Way are equally as good.This album contains some of my favorite tracks from the band and has a nice mature sound. My only complaint is that the overall style of the album feels a little bit underdeveloped. This is probly due to the fact that 3 of the 9 songs are interlude tracks(Hunting Pirates, the greek one and Bosphorous) which take the album on tangents. It would have benefited from a couple more solid traditionally-structured songs to balance everything out.

I like how The March of the Varangian Guard references To Holmgard and Beyond, and it's not just the lyrics.
