Turisas Stand Up And Fight, ltd.ed.

2011, Finland's own Turisas are back on the metal map with the frenetically awaited follow-up release to 2007's acclaimed THE VARANGIAN WAY titled STAND UP AND FIGHT. Turisas play a mixture of styles and their sound is as epic as folk metal can be. The band uses violins, heavy guitars, accordions, and war paint to get the message across. On the new release the storytelling and flavor of musical drama is more strongly present than ever. STAND UP AND FIGHT features real string and horn sections played by some of the best Finnish classical musicians. The new CD is a lavish banquet of melody, muscle and haughty defiance; the sound of giant hearts beating out a rhythm for freedom, brotherhood and a horizon that never ends.
