Turisas

Please do me a favor, check out my new YouTube channel.  If you like Minecraft, music and (eventually) weird comedy bits, please check it out.  I am trying to get a subscriber base going to make me more focused and motivated, and even if a small amount of you subscribed that would be awesome.  Here is my channel, thanks so much!  On to the music:

I first heard Turisas on a Metal Hammer sampler album from 2007.  This song is a sort of Russian / Folk Melodic Metal, I really liked it and it led me to find Folk and Viking Metal that I hadn't really checked out at the time.  I think one of the bands that nudged me into the "genre".  I did listen to some "Pirate Metal", but thats for next time!

Love me some galloping guitars.

Stahlhammer

Stahlhammer (German for "Steel Hammer") is a Neue Deutsche Härte (new German hardness, like Rammstein) band from Austria that formed in 1992. They incorporate elements from Hardcore, Industrial Metal and Symphonic Metal into their songs. The band has to this date produced six albums, where the majority of songs are in German.

There are two albums, Wiener Blut and Feind Hört Mit with vocalist Georgij Alexandrowitsch Makazaria which are great. I picked up Feind Hört Mit at a record store about 10 years ago and its one of my favorite albums in my collection. I don't care for Gary Wheeler, vocalist on the other albums... but you should try for yourself!
