it needs definetely more than one spin to really be able to dig deep - I can only talk about myself, but I had the feeling that during the pre-listening I wasn´t fully able to really get the complete broadwith of the album because it is, as that reviwer also said, pretty complex music-wise.

[The Shinster]

So having finally listened to Stand Up and Fight I have to say I fucking love it and I cannot wait to be bellowing it out when I see them in March.

And the chorus is epiiiiiiiiiiic.

I'm such a fanboy.

[Schwede17]

I love that they're moving into a more "movie music" direction. I'm just really diggin' this kind of epicness, if you know what I mean. After listening to Stand up and Fight, I am sure that this is going to be one kickass album.

I can't wait till it's out, just one more month to survive 8)

[silent_night]

i cant wait to listening since i notice many ppl around listen it already

[Cari]

well, there were certain lucky press-people to hear it at two pre-listenings esp for press-people (one in germany and one in finland), and those only heard it already completely.

the rest of the people only hear the stuff from that download-thing and noooooow Stand up and Fight can also be listened to on myspace...

[kilon]

I'm still kinda worried that they might have overdone the orchestra. It's merely a tool for the band, not the tool.
Oh well.. time will tell.

@ kilon,

You've only heard one song. I wouldn't worry until I had heard the entire thing, if I were you ;-)

(it's pointless to discuss the album's sound based on one track alone imho)

[Cari]

no need to worry imo, there are a lot of orchestrations, but I don´t think it´s overdone...

yaps, because one song doesn´t tell a thing in this case here

[Stand Undefeated]

The track Stand Up and Fight sounds amazing!

Though, TVW in my opinion is a classic. It's going to be DIFFICULT to follow up an album such as that.

[AndreasS]

I just checked Nuclear Blast's webshop, seems like that's the only place you can pre-order the album already, and there are 3 versions:

CD
CD + LP
2 CD

I suppose the 2CD is the "limited digibook", but it this goes the way it went with TVW there are might be a lot more versions of the album out xD

[Cari]

I think the CD is just tha album, the 2CD with the bonus material and the CD+LP...no idea.
i hate all those million of versions (but well, as long as they don´t do it like Apocalyptica did with their album, you still have sort of an overview hahahaha)

[Cari]

Oh and for those who can access it (I don´t know in how far it works abroad), you can listen to "βένετοι! - πράσινοι!" on

^ The guy from Metallrepubliken sez:
"Warlord Nygård, sångare i Turisas, det har visa sig att han e nån slag av geni."

In English: "Warlord Nygård, the singer of Turisas, he apparently is some sort of genius." :D

He also said that TVV was definitely one of the best albums ever released in Finland and other compliments.

[Cari]

when listening to it, I was SO bouncy that I understood it without listening to it a second time or without a dictionary XD

[Kele]

Well German and Swedish are related quite closely.

[Cari]

indeed...but I am still not knowing what I shall think about the song...it still has to grow on me...it´s the only song on the album that I just...hm. not don´t like but...well...didn´t grow to my heart yet XD

[Kele]

I was happy that it had more growling on it. Because The two that we've already heard were pretty clean and "marching".

[AndreasS]

that link apparently only works for Finland? =/

[Cari]

@Kele - i still try to figure out what makes it hard for me to like it, but just cant seem to find it >.<

@Andreas - you gotta love Yle -.-

[AndreasS]

anyways, I decided to pre-order the 2CD version. So that'll be arriving the 27th of Feb. most likely...

[Cari]

you wish LOL unless something happens again, who knows XD

[AndreasS]

Thanks for being soooo upbeat and positive again, Cari =P ;-)

[Cari]

I am just honest hahahahahaha and my experience with a certain shop isn´t that great, that´s why

[*Mika*]

I'm waiting on the rest of the album before jumping to the conclusion that it's all as bad as the title track. But it's just not as majestic sounding as anything from TVW, rousing chorus there is none

[Cari]

That´s what I found....

Bonus Enhanced CD:
1. Broadsword (5:02)
2. Supernaut (3:57)
CD-enhancement (14:17) – The March Of The Varangian Guard (acoustic version) – Stand Up And Fight (acoustic version) – To Holmgard And Beyond (acoustic version)
