TURISAS Announce CHTHONIC, KIUAS As Support For UK Tour

Finnish battle metal group TURISAS has announced the support bands for the upcoming UK headline tour, which will start on October 27th.
 

Violinist Olli Vänskä says: "We're glad to be able to announce what we feel is a really strong support package for the UK shows - both bands have been to the UK before but probably haven't yet had the exposure they deserve - we'll try to change that! Make sure you get down to the shows early to experience something a little bit different!"
