Are you going to do pirates v. ninjas? There got to be a concept album in there surely – double album, one disc of pirates, one disc of ninjas? Of course we’re going to do pirates v. ninjas - the internet demands that we do it! Don’t quite feel like straying into concept album territory yet...

Sabaton/Alestorm/Thaurorod Slade Rooms, Wolverhampton - 15th October 2010 By Ellie McGee Photography unavailable due to stolen camera. Bastards. :( Perhaps not the most obvious of touring combinations, Sabaton and Alestorm have been all over Europe this autumn, on the kind of tour...

Evil Scarecrow - Sixty-Six Minutes Past Six Deadbox Records By Ellie McGee Let’s be honest, with a name like Evil Scarecrow, I was never going to pass up this promo. Going by interesting names in the absence of bands you know anything about is a risky strategy, but one that I feel has...

Lunatica - New Shores Napalm Records - NPR 266 - 2 March 2009 By Ellie McGee First things first: it’s not relevant to (most) of you, but this album really does contain a stupid number of ‘anti-piracy’ voiceovers and interruptions. Sadly for Napalm Records, the effect isn’t so much...

Fairyland – Score to a New Beginning Napalm Records - NPR 273 - 4 May 2009 Score to a New Beginning is something of an interesting proposition to say the least because, having parted ways with the rest of Fairyland, Philippe Giordana has created an entire album using his own talents...

Stratovarius - Polaris EarMusic - 15 May 2009 By Ellie McGee There are some bands in this world that seem to soldier on regardless of what happens, who leaves, or anything else for that matter, and to say Stratovarius are one such band is putting it somewhat mildly. With the original line-up...

Alestorm - Black Sails At Midnight Napalm Records - NPR 290 - 1 June 2009 By Ellie McGee Alestorm, Alestorm, Alestorm. A band who, after the anarchic excellence of Captain Morgan’s Revenge, could so easily have produced a truly dreadful second album and disappeared into the depths of...

All Summer Long, Turisas-style It was 1997, our furs were short, our axes sharp Caught somewhere between Metal and Folk The sauna it was hot and the beer was nice and cold It was summer time in Southern Vikingland Running through the forests, and drinkin' by the campfire It's the simple things...

Matias Matias, Jens [Johansson] has said that you’ve “integrated yourself into this band of weirdos with a lot of grace and humour”, is that how it’s been? Matias: Well…that’s one way to see it! Everything’s been ok…I don’t know what else...

I appear to have been absent from these parts for quite some time. Not quite sure how that's happened, except it's probably quite a lot to do with my current health problems and how shite I've been feeling. Nothing like thyroid problems to put you off your pillaging and Olli-baiting...

Battle Kettle The name uttered with fear No smile, no tears They'll steal your teabags 'n all And make a lovely brew The Tea of Turisas was brewed by Four Winds In a kettle high up in the skies For a teacup of honour, with a small dash of milk Darjeeling for me! Battle! Battle Kettle Battle...

Am currently redecorating my bedroom, with Battle Metal on very, very loudly. I'm on a break while the polyfilla dries, but will be going back to it shortly. It really is amazing how much more fun decorating is when you can bellow along with Land of Hope and Glory while you're doing it :D...

Wasn't gunna...but what the hell. Behold mine very own violin! She's all titchy and stuff (3/4 for those who know what it means) because er...I'm all titchy and stuff! :lol: And yes, I am deeply in love. :Spin: (Had my first lesson in 15 years on Thursday and having violin...

For some reason spiders seem to come up a lot on this forum (*whistles innocently*), so this here is (in theory) t'place for all arachnoid discussion. Been having dodgy lesbian sex dreams about spiders? Saw a huuuuuuuge 8-legged booty mama in your shower this morning? Or just feel like...

Because PINK violins clearly rule all. Every woman and Olli needs one!

Is there some rule that says one can't be a Viking and a Pirate? After all, the two would appear to be natural allies... Let's hear ye, Viking Pirates! *tries and fails to focus on tankard while wearing eyepatch* Ok, so there are some cultural clashes, but we can work round them...

Come on then, who else is suffering post-Download? For my part, I'm huskier than Rod Stewart with bronchitis, my sunburn's peeling, my shoulders still ache like hell, and the infamous allergic rash has only just gone down today. More worth it than I can say though :p

...according to MySpace. Happy Birthday Olli/GeigeIstKrieg/Bald dude who now has hair :p Have a violin-shaped cake: I didn't make it, but I did spend quite a while finding the photo at stupid o'clock thanks to insomnia :lol: Think I might try and get some sleep now :wave: (Feel free to...

I suddenly felt the need to do a Turisas version of 'Holding Out For A Hero'. Where the hell has Lisko gone, and where are all the skirts? Where's the mighty Turisas, to fight the rising odds? Isn't there a Tude upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I...

Be creative! :flame:
