5 out of 5 stars EPIC!.......2006-12-28

If you're looking for the perfect soundtrack to an epic Viking battle, here it is. With horns, keyboards, accordions, violins, Turisas is about as epic and over-the-top as they come. Not only is it epic and very well-orchestrated, it's just a lot of fun to listen to. Next time you're in the car with your fellow warriors, put on 'Sahti-Waari' and TRY not to pump your fist in the air. My only complaint about this album is that Warlord Nygard's voice gets repetitive in parts, but Turisas breaks it up nicely with 'One More', featuring clean vocals and subject matter that concerns drinking buddies who are reminiscing about past battles. 'Katuman Kaiku' brings this album to a gentle close, which is in direct contrast to the title track or 'Midnight Sunrise', for example.

Most of the songs are fast-paced and there's a lot you can shout along to, so be prepared for an onslaught of epic proportions!

5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT ALBUM!!.......2006-10-10

A


GREAT BAND,I bought this cd without knowing of Turisas,I just listened

5 out of 5 stars VERY GOOD BAND!!!.......2005-05-31

IT IS VERY WELL WORTH TO PAY $ 40 FOR QUALITY PRESSING FROM JAPAN. NO WAY YOU CAN NOT COPMAPARE TO OTHER COUNTRYS FOR QUALITY PRESSING AND CLEAR SOUND AND JAPAN IT IS THE BEST!!!

5 out of 5 stars 40 $ !!!!!!!!!!.......2005-03-13

THIS IS TRUELY A GREAT CD . THE ONLY BANDS I CAN COMPARE THIS TO ARE HOLLENTHON AND BAL-SAGOTH WITH A PINCH OF KORPIKLAANI . BATTLE METAL IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS MUYSIC IS . BUT NO MATTER HOW TRIUMPHANT TURISAS IS IT'S NOT WORTH 40 $ . I GOT MY COPY FROM CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS FOR NO MORE THAN 15 $ . SORRY TO TELL YOU GUYS WHO ALREADY PAID 40 . AND I'M ALSO SORRY TO UNDERMINE AMAZON.COM . MOST OF THE METAL THAT AMAZON HAS FOR SALE IS OF A FAIR PRICE BUT EVERY SO OFTEN I COME ACROSS SOMETHING THAT'S WAY TO EXSPENSIVE . I DON'T KNOW WHO AMAZON ORDERS ALOT OF THEIR STUFF FROM , BUT IF YOU SHOP AROUND ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO IMPORTS YOU CAN ALMOST ALWAYS PAY HALF AS MUCH AS AMAZON CHARGES FOR IMPORTS .

5 out of 5 stars delivers the goods.......2005-01-04

This is the first album from this Finnish band. You'd never know it. This is a highly evolved melding of Bal-Sagoth, Rhapsody, and Viking metal, but with that little extra indefinable "something" that makes Turisas an entity all their own.
How often does a debut album define its own sub-genre? This one does. This isn't just "epic" metal, or "fantasy" metal, or "symphonic" metal, or "viking metal". It's battle metal, and it's great.
You maybe could score two or three other albums that are superficially in this category for the import price of this one, but you'd be making a mistake. Battle Metal is an instant classic that you won't tire of, whereas those other albums you might get will likely be forgotten before a couple of weeks are over. Invest in Turisas. Not because they have the potential to become an elite band, but because they already are.
