Your Favourite Song on Battle Metal

False Joe · March 16th, 2008, 12:02 PM

4 years on, tastes mature, feelings change, songs getting boring, new fans finally listen to it.

What's your opinion of Battle Metal now?

I know there's probably been one before, but I thought I'd get it up to date.

I'm torn between Once More and Midnight Sunrise.

... Going for Midnight Sunrise.

The Shinster · March 16th, 2008, 12:20 PM

One More or Sahti-Waari methinks.

I've started listening to it again recently and it's still good.

GmT-Curwen · March 17th, 2008, 12:24 AM

I'm between As Torches Rise and Land of Hope and Glory :|

KristJaeger · March 17th, 2008, 09:01 AM

R.R.R.
(but every song has something special,... so hard to choose... but R.R.R. has it all - except the genious female vocals)

and opinion on Battle Metal? it's still a groundbreaking metal album... still my fave Turisas album, and I think/I'm afraid it will stay this way.

The Shinster · March 17th, 2008, 04:42 PM

I laugh at RRR because it has cannons, that well known Viking weapon ^_^

ingrid · March 17th, 2008, 04:53 PM

The Messenger for sure!!!

makesbobo · March 19th, 2008, 09:51 AM

The Land of hope and Glory, Midnight Sunrise and One More

keks · March 19th, 2008, 12:15 PM

the land of hope and glory... though the prologue for RRR is nice too...

Alasdhair · March 19th, 2008, 12:52 PM

One More... Always has been, always will be.

DuncanSneddon · March 19th, 2008, 08:39 PM

The Messenger, probably; but I really like most of that album.

British Viking · March 20th, 2008, 09:09 AM

Battle Metal, Among Ancestors and Rexi Regi Rebellis all rock.

I suppose AA tops the lot

Tatsumaru · March 22nd, 2008, 04:51 AM

I'd have to choose between As Torches Rise / The Land of Hope and Glory (though the intro took a while to get used to) / and One More. And I really have to mention Sahti Waari too.

Hm, I'll pick As Torches Rise.

UtterCreep · March 22nd, 2008, 02:29 PM

The Land of Hope and Glory and One More give me the best kicks.

Eleonora · April 21st, 2008, 09:05 AM

I go for Rex regi rebellis; second place for The land of hope and glory, third for As torches rise

Vikingess · April 21st, 2008, 10:45 AM

One More or Sahti-Waari, can't choose between them.

Thraxas · April 23rd, 2008, 06:15 AM

Has to be One More. I can never listen to it without spending the rest of the day going around singing the chorus.

seraph7 · June 4th, 2008, 06:37 AM

I'm going for Midnight Sunrise, The Land of Hope and Glory, Rex Regi Rebellis and Katuman Kaiku. Don't ask me to select a favourite out of those, I can't do it!

Talking about how we feel about the album now, I still love it and play it quite a lot especially at work. There has been more than one impromptu jig by fellow work mates along to 'Sahti-Waari' during lunch breaks and in the bar.

It's amazing what Red Bull and 10-12 hours shifts do to people. I did try and get them to play it in screen in between films but the boss wasn't having it though. Damn !

bodom_bantam · June 4th, 2008, 08:15 AM

Got to be RRR, or Battle Metal...or one more, or the messanger

hmmm, cannot decide!

metalheadjohn666 · June 6th, 2008, 02:59 AM

"One More".

-Nizz- · June 6th, 2008, 01:01 PM

I only got it in February this year

, but I think RRR is and always will be my fave track off it, but only just. I think I prefer it to The Varangian Way, it's soo mega awesome!!

Fenrisúlfr · June 8th, 2008, 12:31 PM

There is something about Sahti-Waari that is a bit haunting...but in a good way

morrigan75 · June 12th, 2008, 12:41 AM

It's a totally great album, but "One More" is my favorite song.

Bohnenkraut · June 12th, 2008, 07:12 PM

"One More" and "Battle Metal"...

Descending Winters · June 13th, 2008, 06:37 PM

One More, and then The Messenger...

Starstruck · June 24th, 2008, 05:11 AM

After three full listens the most memorable moments are, in order of preference:

1. As Torches Rise
2. The Land Of Hope And Glory
3. Midnight Sunrise
4. Battle Metal
5. One More
6. Sahti-Waari
7. Katuman Kaiku

These are the ones I remember clearly. I haven't found time to really concentrate on the record. Overall the album sounds good, and it's surprisingly even. The list above could almost be turned upside down and I'd still stand behind it...

The first impressions suggest that it's definitely a strong album and one of the best debut albums I've ever heard. But it's no Varangian Way for me, and I'm pretty positive it will never grow to be.
