2004's "Battle Metal" was a raw, powerful introduction to the world of Turisas and their own brand of Viking Metal. Mixing different instruments such as violins and accordians ended in an inspired album full of promise and great songs. The Varangian Way polished this and raised the bar.

Turisas coined the term 'Battle Metal' with their previous album of the same name and it quite aptly describes the music they play. Yes, it's metal, albeit with violins and accordions, but the lyrical themes are historical, with references to war, fights and battles. 'Battle Metal' was an excellent debut from Turisas, but 'The Varangian Way' takes what they started a whole step further, a stronger, better produced concept album that from the very first listen, I found a pleasure to listen to. So as mentioned, this is a concept album, telling a fictional story of a group of 'Varangians' who travel down the East European river route to Constantinople, or in ... Read the complete review
