Turisas - New Album Title, Cover, Release Date Unveiled
The follow-up to Stand Up And Fight is upon us. Turisas have just revealed the title of their new album. You would never guess it but it will be called Turisas2013. The release dates have been set for August 21st in Finland, August 26th in Europe and North America on September 3rd through Century Media Records.
The album was produced by vocalist Mathias Nygård and the majority of the album was recorded by Nygård and guitarist Jussi Wickström in a remote house outside of Helsinki. Additional recordings were done in three other studios: the drums at Atomic Spa Studio and orchestral recordings at 5 by 5 Studio, both in Helsinki. A lot of vocals and numerous additional elements were tracked at Sound Supreme Studio in Hämeenlinna where Turisas also recorded The Varangian Way and Stand Up And Fight. The mix and mastering was done in London at Orgone Studios with producer Jaime Gomez Arellano who previously worked with Ghost B.C., Cathedral, Primordial and Ulver, just to name a few.
Mathias "Warlord" Nygård comments: "When it comes to the production it's just the opposite of the polished and massive Stand Up And Fight. It's raw and dry and in your face, but still maintaining that Turisas-largeness. People attest us that we are a great live band and we wanted the album to be based more around that than orchestral massiveness. It's our most varied record to date and even if some of the songs sound very different, I think the common thread is that every single one has a lot of energy to it."
While the band will be playing selected festivals during the summer season, the release of Turisas2013 will be supported by extensive European tour dates like the Heidenfest 2013.
UK shows:
08.10.2013 (UK) Bristol - The Fleece
09.10.2013 (UK) London - O2 Academy Islington
10.10.2013 (UK) Nottingham - Rock City
11.10.2013 (UK) Glasgow - Cathouse
12.10.2013 (UK) Manchester - Club Academy

The album art is pure shit, but maybe the change of direction is what they need. Stand Up and Fight was just... too much cheese.

Let's hope the songs are better than the titel and cover.

Couldn't be worse, but if the music is good, I can deal with it. Looking forward

Written by AngelofDeth on 14.06.2013 at 20:59 My thoughts exactly. I really hope its a joke, I can't imagine anyone thinking that cover/title is a good idea. I mean, considering all the band members, label reps, co-producers etc, etc who have their hands in the process, you'd think someone along the way would give him a call and gently tell him the title and cover are absolute shit.

Wooooooooow... but it actually looks great I think, totally unexpected and awkward. Hopefully there will also be some changes music wise after the very meh-ish last one.

Just a big WTF for me. Don't they have a better way to name a album?! And the cover is just weird..... I hope the music is good afterall but I don't know what to expect about this one.

Another bad move from a band that has only ever gone downhill from the start...

Written by moe5512 on 15.06.2013 at 14:14 Their last album was awful and what scares me about that is people who have no idea who the band is accept it and the band thinks to themselves 'Oh we finally made recognition' and decide to stay on that generic path, crap music and no more energy/creativity. That is exactly what this album cover and title say to me

Written by Opethian on 16.06.2013 at 21:48 Hmmm, yeah it's odd, they converted a lot of people with the last album, which I find odd because I found it to be very moon-spoon-june. The Varangian Way had a lot of depth and thought put into it, Battle Metal was pretty cliche but it had that youthful energy. If the cover/title is a sign of whats in store, it is indeed going to be a lazy, slapped-together piece of shit.
