I found 4 topics about this great band, but none to discuss about them

Recently I got their album "Battle Metal" and wow!! what a great music!! I really liked it, the concept is really interesting, perfect atmosphere, great instrumentation.
Why do you think about them?

I've downloaded "Battle Metal" and i liked it a lot (i'm going to buy it together with "The Varangian Way"). Is it better than "Battle Metal"?

Yes and no. I think its better, they dropped the cheesey trumpet sound and have a very real sounding orchestra programming, making a massive sound to it. Some people prefer Battle Metal because it is less serious, more of a fun feeling behind it, the new one is more serious. Either way its a must have IMO, and if you liked Battle Metal you'll like the Varangian way.

Ok, thanks for the information I'll buy the two albums. I've downloaded "Battle Metal" sometime ago, i think that i won't do the same with "The Varangian Way", because of your informations

I like Varangian Way much more. Sound is better, atmosphere is fantastic, and production is totally fitting in both. Songs are more matured written, and in some songs I was really carried away on the fields of battles and many other crazy fantasies. You won't regret if you buy this album, I assure you. If you like Battle Metal, and sound like that album in generally, then Varangian Way is just for you. PS I am not working in some CD distribution companies, I won't make any profit, so this is not justa cheap commercial :lo:

but there really isnt any battle songs in The Varangian Way strangely enough (well no songs ABOUT battle, but some with a battle atmosphere I guess.)

The new video for the single Rasputin is up on there myspace, its hilarious! Warlord is dressed like some pimp or something (tacky suit, fidora). in fact it could pass off as a rap video if it wasnt for the band dressed like vikings on the stage.

As funny as that vid is it sort of tainted Turisas in a way in my eyes...it was too slick and sparkly for my taste, then again I guess they were trying to get that disco feel to it.

Its not that I dont appreciate the crossover, its that I saw too much Nygard in a Justin Timberlake costum than in his kick ass Turisas battle gear....I guess balance is what im getting at here.

They were in Seattle (about an 8 hour drive from where I live). I didn't bother worrying about it too much (even though they are one of my favorite bands) because there steadily growing bigger and bigger, sooner or later there going to be coming to my city. Especially since Metal Hammer Magazine is constantly on there c*ck now. Kind of pisses me off since I'd been listening to them before Metal Hammer was running 4 page specials on them every issue, which kind of killed the allure for me, but at the same time it does bring about good things, like larger world tours.

Just came home from the Turisas gig. I like them on CD, they're good but nothing special really. But that show was GREAT! Damn they're fun live! Cool that the vocalist knows Swedish too so he could talk our fine language.

The setlist for you interested:

The Dnieper Rapids
To Holmgard and Beyond
A Portage to the Unknown
One More
The Messenger
In the Court of Jarisleif
Sahti-Waari
Miklagard Overture
Rasputin
Battle Metal

+ A lot of solos, improvised stuff and talk

Great setlist, though if I were them I wouldve left out Dnieper Rapids, and replaced it with something like...I dunno....Rex Regi Rebellis?

That sure is a better song (although Deniper is great) but the mood was still so great so I didn't mind.

I really just discovered Turisas about a year ago, and I have been hooked since. In less than I month, I plan on going to see them at Peganfest. I have not seem them live yet, but people only say good things. I can't wait to see Rasputin live; the video is hillarious!

The Varangian way is one of my favorite viking metal albums. Battle metal was good but nothing compared to the newest.

Haha, this is so disturbing! For the tour competition they took 3 pictures of the audience, left, right and middle shot. On their website they've only uploaded the right and left!!! I was in the middle front! I think I'm actually right outside the edge on both pictures!

As much as I love that song it is kind of a joke in a way, at least with the new album they got a little more...dynamic with their lyrics? Not sure how else to put it...
