Free Music Notes for The Varangian Way
Free Music Review: Amazingly epic music.
Hit: 4 Stars
The Varangian Way. Awesome, inspiring, moving and well... epic! This is a great piece of folk-metal if I've ever heard one. The guitar work, the wind instruments, vocals, everything is fantastic on this album. If you love folk-metal you owe it to yourself to pick this album up right now.
There is a bit of a side-note, however. With all the applause I give this band/album I COMPLETELY agree with the reviewer McFate. I truly wish some of the more head-banging songs would let the hook stay in the mouth a bit longer and allow more of the sound to build onto itself culminating in ... well ... more head-banging! It's always been my love/hate of progressive metal. While technical and overwhelming at times some of the time I am left feeling like I wanted to hear more heavier vocals and more hair-swaying melodies. That might be one of the reasons this band is so great, though. They can pull you in easy as pie and keep you there for the duration of the album, making you play it again despite your "wants" and "needs".
A truly EPIC piece of musical harmony and thought-out album planning at it's greatest. Buy this. You won't regret it.
The Varangian Way Poster
Turisas have Quickly Made a Strong Impression on the Entire Metal Scene by Establishing the "Battle Metal" Tag, which Has Since Becomes Its Own Subgenre. But "The Varangian Way" Transcends all Metal Styles and Unites them all Into an Experience Unlike Any Other in a Current Scene of Copycat Bands. This is an Ambitiously Themed Concept About the Journey of Brave Viking Men in the Times of the 11th Century, Travelling Down from the Baltic Sea Heading to Holmgard, Through East European Riverways on a Mission to the South in the Search of New Skies And, Ultimately, Glory. However it is in the 21st Century Where Turisas Will Probably Find It!Pop Music CDs
