10.10.2008

Finnish folk metal overlords TURISAS, who are currently conquering the UK with the mighty DRAGONFORCE, have released a video trailer for their first-ever DVD, "A Finnish Summer With Turisas". Watch it below.

In the summer of 2008, TURISAS set out to play more shows across its home country Finland than ever before. With "A Finnish Summer With Turisas", you can join them on their road trip, learn the secrets of sauna and other Finnish traditions on the nights when the sun never sets. Travel from festival to festival and go behind the scenes to find out what makes TURISAS a one-of-a-kind blend of music, traditions, fur, blood and fun.

"A Finnish Summer With Turisas" will be world-premiered on November 1 at the Ultima Ratio Festival in Oberhausen, Germany. The DVD will be shown during change-over in a separate room, so you can get the full Finnish flavor on a really big screen!

In other news, TURISAS has posted a video for "Battle Metal 2008". According to a press release, "it is high time to finally have an official videoclip for this battle hymn which is also a tribute to the band's dedicated fans (without whom there is obviously no such thing as a crowd favorite)."
