Nice. I like Shieldwall, never heard of them. The vocals could be improved, but it's pretty good music!

Dont be an idiot. You know and I know that the music industry is rolling in cash. The whole "they cant afford to continue" will happen when hell freezes over. Im doing them a favour, so they cant afford to be drug addicts and spend half of their career in rehab.

Hey Mr. Self-Titled Police. I can personally guarantee that if it wasn't for downloading (loads of it) I would never even have started listening to metal, and definitely not these quite "obscure" (excuse the expression) band like Turisas and such.

Now, uncountable numbers of metal concerts, festivals, band shirts, cd's, dvs and such, do you still think downloading is a bad idea? Think outside the box, don't be so freaking narrow minded. That freaks me out.

Yeah, but if everyone downloaded... Then no more music would happen.

And what is a rock star without a stint in rehab?

You got into Metal via downloading? Why? There are many other ways to get into Metal... And besides, if you only download, then your presence wouldn't be missed. "Obscure" metal bands have a difficult enough time getting by without people stealing their stuff. I mean, you wouldn't steal a CD from a shop (at least, I hope not) so why steal it from the internets?

ingrid · December 8th, 2007, 02:07 PM

there's no band like Turisas

Sock puppet · December 8th, 2007, 06:42 PM

Thronar.

heavy metal · December 9th, 2007, 06:49 AM

as usuall i download but if i like i buy.

Foinikas · December 9th, 2007, 08:02 PM

I don't know about you guys but I love Terasbetoni,although they are a bit different than Turisas,but I love them as a band their songs and music and lyrics and all.

Actually Finland is like the mother of metal bands,so many good bands come from Finland that it's so hard to choose.Scandinavians generally have a very big tradition in metal.And I actually prefer Scandinavian and German metal from the American one which I hate :P

Indeed, I've not heard anyone much like Turisas. Most folk metal bands have loads of black metal vocals.

ingrid · December 10th, 2007, 06:29 PM

well yeah, I personally think that Turisas has an unique sound

One of my many weak points are that I'm a little close minded. I'm trying to work on it...still in process

I think, in my opinion, you can always hear a faint part of style in music depending on where they are comming from. Don't quote me though, I know next to nothing on different music. I have really closed myself to music from Scandinavia. Perhaps it's because i'm from there

.

Diffrence is always good, in nearly everything. My mind is rather closed right now to Scandinavian Metal...but with everything, things change.

I can't really suggest any bands that are the same sounding to Turisas, but I can suggest bands that I enjoy that are remotly similar, yet very different :-)

Moonsorrow
Wintersun
Vintersorg
Tyr
Ensiferium

Foinikas · December 10th, 2007, 10:46 PM

That's ok.For me Scandinavian metal rules!I just don't like the sound and attitude of the American bands.I think when it comes to Metal,Scandinavia rules.Like we say with a friend of mine:In Finland almost every house has its band.

Try Agalloch for a good American band.

popcorn · January 9th, 2008, 11:16 AM

Yeh. turisas do have a unique sound and for me the perfect level of vocals,but any folk/viking themed metal recommendations are welcome.i like Finntroll, ensiferum, elvenking aswell now and i will continue to find new bands and listen to the bands listed when i can.
thanks

Hardly.

Was watching Wrath of the Norsemen earlier and Amon Amarth admitted that no real cash was coming in until about Fate of Norns. And they've been going ages.

"We'd love to live off the music, but until recently, no real cash has been coming in. Now we're actually getting some money which is awesome."

And if Amon Amarth, one of the bigger bands, can't do it then the smaller bands certainly can't.

It's true that in some genres, whom I don't really feel guilty about downloading from, but in metal, the cash just isn't there as much.

Parikrama!
