A Finnish Summer With Turisas
Finnish folk metal overlords Turisas, who are currently conquering the UK with the mighty Dragonforce, now present you a brand-new, stunning trailer for their first ever DVD “A Finnish Summer With Turisas”. In summer 2008, Turisas set out to play more shows across their home country Finland than ever before. With “A Finnish Summer With Turisas” you can join them on their road trip, learn the secrets of sauna and other Finnish traditions on the nights when the sun never sets. Travel from festival to festival and go behind the scenes to find out what makes Turisas a one-of-a-kind blend of music, traditions, fur, blood and fun. Check out the trailer here:_ELVALASZTO_
“A Finnish Summer With Turisas” will see it’s world-premier November 1st at the Ultima Ratio Festival in Oberhausen, Turbinenhalle. The DVD will be shown during change-over in a separate room, so you can get the full Finnish flavour on a really big screen! For more info check Ultima Ratio’s website: http://www.ultimaratio-festival.de
The brilliant new video for “Battle Metal 2008” has been launched as well. It is high time to finally have an official video-clip for this battle hymn which is also a tribute to the band’s dedicated fans (without whom there is obviously no such thing as a crowd favourite). So, watch this now!
