I would say "Five Hundred and One" as well...

Fenrisúlfr · May 26th, 2008, 07:30 PM

To chose which track is best is like choosing the best flavour of Ben and Jerry's...that said, 'Fields of Gold' is my favourite.

-Nizz- · May 27th, 2008, 06:28 AM

I really love the whole album, but I really really love To Holmgard And Beyond, A Portage To The Unknown, Cursed Be Iron, In The Court Of Jarisleif, Five Hundred And One and The Dnieper Rapids, but I think I voted for The Dnieper Rapids because I think the beginning to it is awesome

GameFreac · May 27th, 2008, 12:40 PM

It's hard.....I think it's a tie between Miklagard Overture and In the Court of Jarisleif

Both are epic songs.

Sorrow- · May 28th, 2008, 10:09 AM

I have three songs that I listen to the most: A Portage to the Unknown, Fields of Gold and Five Hundred And One. It's pretty hard to choose the best but...I'll say Five Hundred And One.

_Zsuzsa_ · June 3rd, 2008, 01:43 AM

Cursed be Iron always gets my juices flowing.

metalheadjohn666 · June 3rd, 2008, 02:47 AM

"Cursed Be Iron" for me.

Finally the album is starting to grow on me, after 4 or 5 listens. Still no "Battle Metal" however.

seraph7 · June 4th, 2008, 06:41 AM

What's going on? In the Court of Jarisleif and The Dnepier rapids are getting utterly pwned in the poll I see...

I still think you could have done a wicked video for 'Jarisleif' but it was a B side for 'Rasputin' instead

bodom_bantam · June 4th, 2008, 08:18 AM

Holmgard and Beyond.... Perfect starter

Starstruck · June 21st, 2008, 10:52 AM

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 particular order. I think that there's no other album by anyone where all the songs fit so well within the storyline.

Kenneth R. · June 21st, 2008, 11:09 AM

Given that the whole album slays, any answer is a correct answer. I'll go with Cursed Be Iron right now.

Magneilium · June 23rd, 2008, 11:18 AM

Miklagard Overture, any day of the week. I'm surprised at the amount of love for Cursed be Iron - it's not a bad song, but it fits in least with the rest of the album(not being part pf the journey/story).

Miklagard Overture, however, is the best song. And by that I mean out of the songs, you know, in the world.

completely the same for me here

requiem · July 10th, 2008, 11:09 AM

I went with Miklargard Overture. They're all great, but this one has the little something extra. Probably just because it's longer so you get more Turisas for your buck!

Bohnenkraut · August 18th, 2008, 06:00 AM

That's close between Holmgard and Miklagard.. both are awesome as hell but Holmgard is just rocking as hell to shout a long

Osmo, Dalk, Kyy, Kokko and Ulf · August 29th, 2008, 06:22 AM

I went for Holmgard, It was the song that really got me into Turisas when I first went on the band's myspace

HEEEE

I vote Fivehundred and One. Just because of the epic ending.

Crucifier · August 29th, 2008, 12:18 PM

I guess I'll say "Holmgard and Beyond". It has a "Battle Metal" feel in it. And as mentioned before, it's simply epic! I even have a shirt with the lyrics of the chorus!

i would like to say the "overture" but I hate the very mention of the word Constantinopolis, as, there originated the ultimate demise of Hellas, end the coming of the monotheistic christian monstrosity...

Osmo, Dalk, Kyy, Kokko and Ulf · August 29th, 2008, 01:33 PM

Actually, 'Silence', which is a bonus track on some versions is an almighty tune

seraph7 · August 29th, 2008, 09:13 PM

I don't think I've ever heard it! Is it available for download somewhere?
*goes off to search for mystery Turisas tune she knew nothing about*

It's on the directors cut before Rasputin. It really is just silence however...

Crucifier · August 30th, 2008, 10:16 AM

What? You mean it's just silence?

hehe

British Viking · August 30th, 2008, 03:58 PM

I've heard the silence. It's just 59 secs silence. It is NOT the best (song). Actually it's not a song

I'd love to see a video of the song but seeing as it's a 'Rasputin' B-side that's unlikely to happen
