TURISAS "The Varangian Way" /CD/

Second full-length album by the Finnish Symphonic Pagan Folk Viking Metal band.
Finland?s wildest horde takes the music scene by assault with their new opus of intriguing battle hymns! An inspired conceptual masterwork that transcends all sub-styles within the heavier metal worlds, blending classically-inspired arrangements and orchestration, savage rhythmic metal fury with hook lines and bombast aplenty.
It is a concept album that tells the story of a group of Scandinavians traveling the river routes of medieval Russia, through Ladoga, Novgorod and Kiev, down to the Byzantine Empire.
