Forged in the flames of inspiration back in the late ‘90s by frontman and chief songwriter Mathias Nygard and his trusty sidekick, guitarist Jussi Wickstrom, Turisas matured like a fine wine over a number of years before unveiling themselves with maximum drama and power on 2004’s landmark debut album, “Battle Metal”. A tour-de-force of epic, folk-tinged metal with a palpable sense of big screen ambition, the album struck an immediate chord with metalheads across Europe and turned the band into one of the hottest new acts the continent had witnessed in a long time. By the time Nygard and his henchmen followed their debut with 2007’s astonishingly intricate, deep and dramatic concept piece, “The Varangian Way”, Turisas were unstoppable and garnered widespread acclaim and attention from the rock and metal media all over the world. Consolidating their reputation for musical greatness with a similarly explosive and eye-popping live show, the Finns have spent the last few years taking their music to the people, just as their beloved Viking ancestors strode purposefully across the northern Hemisphere many centuries ago.
