In regards to this upcoming tour, TURISAS front-man Warlord Nygard comments: “It took time, but finally we had a chance to make it back to North America. After many successful tours there with acts like Cradle Of Filth and Dragonforce during the past few years, it’s great to return as a headliner. This is a killer combo with great variety- some of the most twisted acts of the folkier side of metal! Be prepared for a great night out – I expect to witness some crazy audiences!”

“Stand Up And Fight”, the latest video from TURISAS, was filmed on February 7 in the California desert with director Iain Sclater. Influenced by the film “Mad Max” and the band’s own image, the video is sure to provide a thrilling new look at TURISAS in the band’s first-ever U.S.-shot music video.

“Stand Up And Fight” is the title track of TURISAS‘s third album, which entered the official chart in the band’s home country at position No. 5. The CD was released in North America on March 8 via Century Media Records.

“‘Stand Up And Fight’ is a loose continuation of the story from ‘The Varangian Way’, and picks up where the previous one left us, in Constantinople,” explained mainman Mathias Nygård. “However, it is not a sequel as such. In general, the songs are much more universal and deal with topics that can be placed just as tightly into the modern world as in the 11th century Byzantine Empire. ‘Stand Up And Fight’ has much more to offer the contemporary listener.”
