"Turisas are Finnish, and Vikings did not come from Finland, but their music fits into the parameters of the subgenre."

Is there a citation or a source that clearly says that Vikings did not com from Finland? On the Viking article, it is said:

"The term Viking commonly denotes the ship-borne explorers, traders, and warriors of the Norsemen (literally, men from the north) who originated in Scandinavia..."

It is not specifically specified from which countries/regions they came from, but I am pretty sure that certain Vikings came from what is now Finland. I know for sure that Rus' Vikings went from what is now Finland to Russia. Could someone look into that? Thanks in advance, Zouavman Le Zouave (Talk to me! • O)))) 12:28, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

  • AFAIK the Fins themselves were no Vikings, but in the southern part of what now is Finland, Swedish Vikings settled and from there colonized Russia. Regardless of this matter, Viking Metal is a purely musical categorization and does not necessarily have to come from lands once ruled by Vikings. Falkenbach, for example, comes from Germany.

This map[1] should clear things up a little bit. Vikings originated from the areas today known as Denmark, Norway and Sweden. As for Finland, the vikings primarily sailed to the east by following the Finnish coastline, and some perhaps settled in Finland, a few Finns might have joined the Viking enterprises, but Finland isn't to be considered a "viking country" per se.

Why are you arguing about vikings? The topic isnt whether there are vikings in Finland but if Turisas is Viking Metal. My view is a mix of Folk Metal and Viking Metal a mix of both subgenres. KoRnOnThEeKoB (talk) 19:20, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unofficial Turisas Bebo- is it worth adding to the external links section?

  • i realise that the MySpace link is official, as are the other things, but this wouldn't be the first unofficial link to be added to something on Wiki. And it has over 180 members right now, so it's not just an obscure 5-person affair. i wont and the link unless someone aproves. anybody care to give their opinion? ~Tryzon —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.99.247.24 (talk) 21:47, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lisko.

An update on current band members may be needed.

Check this thread on the official forums... [2] (ARFeh (talk) 21:07, 28 March 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Line-up

Someone's added "Daniel Karlsson" to the line-up, which I'm removing as, to the best of my knowledge, it's not true. If Jussi's been replaced on guitars, it's probably news to him as well!

As for Lisko (Janne Makinen), the band haven't removed him from any official lineups, so I'm leaving him on until they say otherwise. If there's no update forthcoming when they get back from America, I'll ask them about it, but until then Lisko stays. Faerie Queene (talk) 14:17, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
