“Back to America straight out of the studio! We’ve spent the last six months off the road writing some new killer tunes and are just about to start recording them as we speak. The great memories from our previous tour last spring is making us even more excited to hit the road again after this long break. We’re coming up with new cool and crazy ideas for this tour, and who knows, maybe we’ll even try out and premiere some completely unreleased new material. One thing is certain, after 9 months off the road there’ll be some serious energy to be released on stage! Serve us your weakest piss-light beer! We’ll take it! America here we come!” -Turisas


(Older video but LOVE the track!)

Looking forward to seeing them rocking out in Toronto.  Now the real question is do I bring my camera or do I double fist the brews that night?  Ohhhh the decisions!
