August 25, 2009

Fan-filmed video footage of TURISAS' August 15, 2009 performance at this year's Sziget festival in Budapest, Hungary can be viewed below.

Photos of the show are available on the Musica Metal news blog.

The band's setlist for the show was as follows:

01. To Holmgard and Beyond
02. A Portage to the Unknown
03. One More
04. In the Court of Jarisleif
05. Field of Gold
06. Miklagard Overture
------------------------------
07. Little Surprise (Hungarian Dance - Brahmns)
08. Rasputin (BONEY M. cover)
09. Battle Metal

TURISAS's latest album, "The Varangian Way", was re-released in April 2008 in a special tour edition package featuring a bonus DVD jam-packed with live performance footage.

Central to "The Varangian Way" is the group's concept of a journey through the East European river route through the lands of modern day East Europe. The Northmen who traveled this path in the 9th-11th centuries were called Varangians. Key to the album's concept is a search for self and identity, both of which are explored by the protagonist in "The Varangian Way"'s eight songs. Truly a display of the band's dedication to the conceptual elements of the album, TURISAS made sure to include cultural influences from the lands the Varangians would have traveled through.
