I can actually order this album local! This album is mine. Also, can anyone help me with the piano part in the opening? I have the feeling that I heard it before. In Kingdom Hearts I believe, not totally sure.
@0verlord1841 I've been trying to figure that out too. My guess is that Nordbrikt is taking a count of the captains of the ships in his fleet. The last one sounds like "Ukko", who is the Finnish version of Odin.
This song is a real masterpiece. Turisas mix progressive with epic metal, and the result is a really complex and excellent style, i love them. They now become my favourite band.
Some of the Vikings (Varangians) that came to Kiev, and were at Jarisleif's feast are parting ways. Some are staying in Jarisleif's (Yaroslav of Kiev) service, and some are continuing their journey to Constantinople (Miklagard). Nordbrikt leaves the crew that will go to Constantinople.
This is what is this song about.
And yes, IT'S JUST PURE EPICNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you know some propellerheads claim king Rurik was actually a Finn. Which would mean Russia (Kievan Rus) was founded by Finnish Varangian aliies. Now THAT would be fucking ironic.
I feel so bad for those who do not open their minds to this stuff. Seriously, I feel bad for all the rap and pop fans. They are missing out on some great stuff by listening to absolute garbage.
Absolutely agree with you about the opening their minds, but i think its mostly the modern gangster rap and modern pop fans. Old school social rap is pretty good. I never liked pop but i respect some of the older stuff. The new stuff is terrible.
yeah I know. Its amazing that voice can come from the same vocal chords that grind out those screams at the same time. I'd imagine it's harder for him live to transverse from both. Either way, I wish the whole song was like that.
Hell yeah! I hadn´t watched this one for a while, but this part was given me goosebumps everywhere! Now I remember why I uploaded this song... It´s brilliant!!! Thnx for your comments, everyone!
I am speaking german ;) And i know them pretty well! A fucking great Band! Equilibrium kicks ass! I especially like Widars Hallen and Wingthors Hammer. Ensiferum is a very good Band , too. probably my favourite band.
This was absolutely EPIC last night, live... :D
