Our Take
Our Take
Ah, TURISAS. The Finnish metal band that has taken the concept of Battle Metal and turned it into an epic, Viking-inspired masterpiece. Their 2004 album "Battle Metal" is a whirlwind of soaring vocals, thunderous drumming, and killer guitar riffs that will have you brandishing a sword and heading into battle in no time.
From the opening track "Victoria's Secret" with its anthemic chorus and relentless energy, to the powerful ballad "Fields of Gold," TURISAS showcases their ability to seamlessly blend metal with folk influences. The use of traditional instruments such as the accordion and violin adds an extra layer of depth to their sound, creating a truly unique listening experience.
Lead singer Mathias Nygård's raspy vocals are perfectly suited to the epic nature of the music, evoking images of warriors battling on a windswept battlefield. The band's dynamic songwriting keeps the listener engaged throughout, with each track providing a new twist or turn that keeps the excitement levels high.
While some may dismiss Battle Metal as cheesy or over-the-top, TURISAS fully embraces the theatricality of the genre, delivering an album that is both fun and exhilarating. So grab your sword, don your warpaint, and prepare to conquer the battlefield with TURISAS leading the charge. Battle Metal has never sounded so damn good.
