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 ›› |

There's a video on the band's official website where the singer (forgot his name...) talk about the new album. It's been around for quite some time now.

A cover art unveiling would be nice... with some song titles. Wonder if it's a concept album this time, probably not.

 because it doesn't have the name Turisas in front of it in the albums forum I thought this was on the nwobhm Quartz semi-classic album Stand Up And Fight

Yeah. They've got the whole thing up on their myspace. Only took a brief, scattered listen...Doesn't really sound all that good.

I find it very interesting. It's different from what they did before and I find it refreshing. The symphonic "film score" aspect is omnipresent but it's not a bad thing IMO since it's well done. Some very nice guitar work from time to time but after the first spin, i'm not blown away. It's a nice album, no more, no less. I'll wait before rating this album. BTW, Fear the Fear might be the best track of this album. For me at least

It's a decent album but very cheesy and the execution of the concept is pretty flawed. The album sounds like a bad 80ties musical, yet at the same time it's just as amusing. Except "fear the fear" the lyrics of that song are so bad. The orchestra is cool but you have to fuck up hard to screw up orchestras. All in all a decent album but at the same time flawed.

I only listened to one song "The Great Escape" which has been put online and I can say that 8.2 is not enough just for that song, I'm sure that the other songs are as good as The Great Escape so this album is underrated.

Written by Justicelust on 26.02.2011 at 20:27 How the fuck can you say it's underrated, when you heard only one song? I know fanboys have a history of unbelievable retardation but this probably takes the cake.

Could be the soundtrack of an epic viking movie. still heavy, symphonic, epic and fully folkish

Written by Justicelust on 26.02.2011 at 22:44 After listening to all the songs, I admit I was wrong, it is not underrated, I think 8 is fair. But I say it again that the song "The Great Escape" is great, it is the most beautiful song I have ever heared in my life, I was sedused by that song.
