It seems weird that the Battle Metal vinyls are still available at Century Media Distro. Only the red one is sold out but they still got the yellow one, which is also (supposed to be) limited to 100 copies and the gold one (200 copies) and the box (600 copies). Are these figures really correct...

Here's another song from Oceanwake's forthcoming debut album, Kingdom. This lengthy and relentless album closer starts with a sparse arrangement and builds slowly into a colossal doom metal section. Beautiful yet merciless. http://soundcloud.com/oceanwake/oceanwake-come-forth-a-breaking-light

I'm saving money right now, so my already quite comprehensive collection won't be getting any additions for some time. However, no matter how poor you are, you can't resist acquiring The Heart Of Turisas MCD for 15€. :kickass:

Me & my wife are apartment hunting in Buckinghamshire on August, so I suppose this is almost obligatory addition to the schedule... Anybody got a spare room anywhere near Chalfont St. Giles from August to the end of December, by the way?

I got just back from my very first Turisas show. As one may presume, the festival gigs aren't always the best, but this however was a surprisingly good one. More people than I would've expected had chosen to stay around for Turisas, the second last act on Sunday night (starting at 9:40 pm). The...

Turisas - The Varangian Way (what else?) Getting ready for my first battle!

29 yrs old student to be from Ulvila, though I was born and bred in the most beautiful municipality of Luvia. The area in question is found in the southwestern parts of Finland, near Pori. I'm a freelance music & movie critic/journalist. The main job has been for the last nine months...

^^^Hobgoblin is truly one of the greatest, but I somehow got a bit tired of it one of the times I travelled to England. Top 5 English/Scottish ales (listed very quickly): 1. Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted 2. St. Austell Tribute (had only one time, but I remember it very "clearly") 3...

I have to say that even I, with my very wide taste of music (eg. Willie Nelson, Emperor, Cypress Hill & Blur) I found it hard to accept that Aguilera's Back To Basics is quite an extraordinary album. I wrote a review of it back then. When the editor-in-chief offered me the album, I tried to...

In order of preference: 1. Miklagard Overture 2. To Holmgard And Beyond 3. Dnieper Rapids/Fields Of Gold/A Portage To The Unknown/Cursed Be Iron/Five Hundred And One 8. In The Court Of Jarisleif The number 1, 2 & 8 are pretty clear for me, but the others are too hard to put in any...
