Free Music Notes for The Varangian Way
Free Music Review: Good Concept, Lackluster Writing
Hit: 4 Stars
I bought this based on numerous positive reviews and came away somewhat disappointed. Don't get me wrong, this CD will leave a smile on your face, but for all of the grandiose ambitions, the songwriting here just isn't in the same league as Opeth or Nightwish. Personally, I think Liv Kristine & co. did a better job with Vinland Saga. That's not to say that it's bad, it is actually pretty good. As an earlier reviewer stated, "there's a little something missing". Despite all the varied instrumentation (including sampling from the Vienna Philharmonic!), the songwriting is pretty basic. I don't think that this is a lousy CD, there are many places where it effective and there is nothing here that is truly awful. This is after all, only the band's second CD. So, buy it and have some fun, just don't expect a masterpiece.
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!Hard Rock & Metal Music CDs
