Back in 2004 a Finnish folk metal group known as Turisas released their debut album titled as "Battle Metal". Now three years later this group describes their music with this title, and sets sails for world domination. Their follow-up album "The Varangian Way" is swell-of-the-sea concept record telling tales accompanied with symphonic viking metal arrangements. Although catchy at times, the music gets a tad repetitive in the longer run because of the generic folk and symphonic metal parts. Regardless, there are rather fortuitous moments as well which surely make this an album worth listening, if one can get past the somewhat cheesy lyrics. The production on this album is fairly average... especially the low-end got distorted at times. In any event, this record has a certain overall charm to it and the occasional good sections make this album worthy addition to any folk metal enthusiastic's collection. In addition, it's refreshing to hear metal music that features electric violin solos. Visit Artist's Website - MAGE (August 15th, 2007) « back
