TURISAS filmed a video for the title track of its new album, "Stand Up And Fight", on February 7 in the California desert with director Iain Sclater. Influenced by the film "Mad Max" and the band’s own image, the clip is sure to provide a thrilling new look at TURISAS in the band's first-ever U.S.-shot music video.
"'Stand Up And Fight' is a loose continuation of the story from 'The Varangian Way', and picks up where the previous one left us, in Constantinople," explains mainman Mathias Nygård. "However, it is not a sequel as such. In general, the songs are much more universal and deal with topics that can be placed just as tightly into the modern world as in the 11th century Byzantine Empire. 'Stand Up And Fight' has much more to offer the contemporary listener."
