BATTLE METAL
Espectacular banda fomada en 1998 de la aparentemente inagotable cantera finlandesa. Para mi es una de las bandas con mayúsculas y siento debilidad por su música. Con tan solo cuatro discos de estudio y un EP comenzaron a editar material propio en 2001 sacando su primer larga duración en 2004, este Battle metal del que dejo aquí su canción homónima. Su estilo es un Folk metal simfónico con toques black alternando voz gutural con voz limpia. En sus comienzos nos dejaban una música mucho más Viking, para tornarse poco a poco más power simfónico y terminar evolucionando hacia algo más progresivo en su última obra Turisas2013. He de reconocer que prefería la época inicial y media de la banda y para mi este Battle metal junto a su the Varangian way son mis obras preferidas sin olvidarnos de su Stand up and fight, probablemente su trabajo más comercial, y muy bueno sin duda. Turisas es una de esas bandas que gustan de experimentar y no parecen tener problemas con hacer lo que quieren sin atender a críticas, otro ejemplo la canción Rasputin, bonus track de 2007 versionando a Boney M y con un clip muy curioso. Su última obra Turisas2013 me ha costado más digerirla, veremos si en su siguiente disco siguen esta linea o vuelve un poco por sus anteriores fueros, cosa que particularmente yo les agradecería. En fín buena banda de la que encontrareis grandes temas y de la que este Battle Metal es uno de ellos y un gran disco. Dejo un enlace a youtube.
A name uttered with fear
No smile, no tears
They'll crush your skull with a blow
And pile them in a row
The heart of Turisas was forged by four winds
In a smithy high up in the skies
On an anvil of honour, with a hammer of blood
The Four Winds pounded
Battle Metal!
As the battle rages the dearest to you, you hold in your hand -
and stick in their lungs!
An iron gaze of a hawk
Out of sight they stalk
Their arrows cut the air as they fly
Death from the sky
Thunder in their eyes
A writhing demise
Storming over the men on the field
Breaking their shield
Take this sign into your heart and be brave
Let it lead you to your glory or your grave
Today!
Hear me, my warriors
Soldiers from all the edges of the world
Let us join our forces
To an army, united
Four winds will guide us
The Heart of Turisas will lead our way
Our drums echo: Forward march
Our horns cry for victory
Boldest of them all
They've answered the call
Their arms were strengthened by the work of their swords
They'll march till they fall
The heart of Turisas was forged by four winds
In a smithy high up in the skies
On an anvil of honour, with a hammer of blood
The Four Winds pounded
No smile, no tears
They'll crush your skull with a blow
And pile them in a row
The heart of Turisas was forged by four winds
In a smithy high up in the skies
On an anvil of honour, with a hammer of blood
The Four Winds pounded
Battle Metal!
As the battle rages the dearest to you, you hold in your hand -
and stick in their lungs!
An iron gaze of a hawk
Out of sight they stalk
Their arrows cut the air as they fly
Death from the sky
Thunder in their eyes
A writhing demise
Storming over the men on the field
Breaking their shield
Take this sign into your heart and be brave
Let it lead you to your glory or your grave
Today!
Hear me, my warriors
Soldiers from all the edges of the world
Let us join our forces
To an army, united
Four winds will guide us
The Heart of Turisas will lead our way
Our drums echo: Forward march
Our horns cry for victory
Boldest of them all
They've answered the call
Their arms were strengthened by the work of their swords
They'll march till they fall
The heart of Turisas was forged by four winds
In a smithy high up in the skies
On an anvil of honour, with a hammer of blood
The Four Winds pounded
