News : Turisas hitting our shore this weekend

By on May 21, 2010

Just because we’re such nice guys and this such an awesome tour, we thought you needed reminding. One of the most exciting live bands on the planet (according to people who have seen them), Finland’s Turisas will be doing battle in Sydney and Melbourne this weekend with support from Melbourne’s Be’lakor and Brisbane’s Dead Letter Opener.

For those of you in the more southern states, do not miss these shows. Just as us at Metal Obsession are, take advantage of the fact that folk metal bands are touring while you can!

“With the blood-soaked furry outfits, epic, ass-kicking hymns, war painted faces and the most intense live show this side of the Pacific; Turisas are setting their course for Australia this year!  Voted “Best New Band” by UK’s Metal Hammer poll and one of the eight “Artists of the Decade” by Terrorizer, Turisas is the complete package, having already stormed some of the biggest festivals in Europe and toured extensively both sides of the Atlantic.

Don your war paint, grab your battle axe and prepare for a proper Scandinavian party – join the quest to Miklagard and beyond in May 2010!”

Please note the Brisbane show has been cancelled.
