TURISAS To Perform At Virgin Megastore In London

July 18, 2007

Finnish folk metallers TURISAS have issued the following update:

"We are very pleased to announce that everyone's favourite battle metallers TURISAS will be playing at Kerrang! magazine's Day Of Rock on 8th August in the Virgin Megastore on Oxford Street in London.

"To be a part of this very exclusive show you can ONLY win tickets through a prize draw at www.kerrang.com — TICKETS CANNOT BE BOUGHT — and there's only 275 pairs of tickets available, so answer the question correctly and you could be in with a chance.

"In celebration of this year's Kerrang! Awards, the annual Kerrang! Day of Rock shenanigans will begin at midday, with TURISAS on stage at 1:00 p.m. Other bands performing throughout the day are ENTER SHIKARI, FIGHTSTAR, THE ANSWER and KIDS IN GLASS HOUSES.

"Tickets cannot be bought so go to www.kerrang.com NOW and enter the competition."

Professionally filmed video footage of TURISAS performing at the Download festival on June 9 at Donington Park, Leicestershire, England has been posted at YouTube.

Since its release, TURISAS' latest album, "The Varangian Way", has reached No. 11 in the U.K. rock chart and entered the Finnish album chart at No. 17.

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.
