TURISAS 2013 (2013) Digipak CD

Turisas had spent years perfecting the art of making Viking metal feel cinematic and ridiculous in the best possible way, and then 2013 arrived and hit the reset button on all of it.

Leaning harder into synth-driven power metal and leaving some of the folk bombast behind, 2013 is a divisive record in the Turisas catalogue, which means it's the one worth arguing about. The Finns never lost their flair for hooks, and tracks like For Your Own Good and Ten More Miles prove they could write an anthem in any genre they pointed themselves at. Limited edition digipak, which is the format this deserves.

CD, limited edition digipak. Full length studio album. Released 2013, Finland.
