I'm Back

Hello anyone,

I'm finally done school for the year, moved in, and working. I must say, it feels pretty good to have no scholarly responsibilities anymore. Coming home after work and just relaxing instead of studying is nice. But we'll see how nice it is when my marks come in. Anyway, keeping in the spirit of this creation, I have another upload for all of you, a little something I haven't been able to stop listening to since I saw them at Paganfest here in Toronto. They absolutely stole the show, and I honestly cannot wait to see them again. For those of you who weren't there, which I assume is a lot, I am speaking of Turisas. They came out in full viking attire, full of energy, played drinking songs, had crowd singing competitions, and an accordion. Seriously the greatest show I've been to so far, but I have Opeth in a couple weeks. Anyway, without further ado, the upload:

What is there to say about this album. It is a true viking masterpiece. Each song is epic in it's own right, but all together, this album is unbelievable. They performed 'Battle Metal' live, and it was absolutely electric. You couldn't help but get pumped whether you were a Turisas, or a metal fan in general, or not. The energy they gave was amazing. Although I really do love this album, everything by this band has lost something after seeing them live because it just isn't as good. They truly are a band made for live performances. I absolutely urge anyone who enjoys this album even in the slightest to check them out next time they're in your town.

Alright, there is the upload you crazy kids. Now I should return again soon, with something a little different. Stay tuned and you won't be disappointed.
