TURISAS: Finnish Charts - Rock Hard Festival

Not only did Finland's TURISAS play an amazing show at Germany's Rock Hard Festival the past weekend with people dancing to their cover version of Boney M's "Rasputin" and having a completely enthused crowd in front of the stage successfully chanting to the rest of the audience to get up from the stairs of Gelsenkirchen's amphitheatre to their hit "Battle Metal". Their Finland only single "To Holmgard And Beyond" went straight to the Finnish single charts on rank 13 and UK's media is already raving about the new masterpiece from the six brave Norsemen. Check out the cover on Terrorizer, a KKKK review in Kerrang! and huge features in Rock Sound and Metal Hammer (out 6th June)!

Warlord Nygård (vocals) on the release of the album: *"It's a great feeling that finally the fans will be able to hear what we've been working on for so long, and I'm excited to see how well they will be able to understand or feel the whole concept, storyline and ideas behind the album."*
