JUDAS PRIEST Guitarist KK Downing's Steel Mill website reports:
"Finnish warriors TURISAS have just paid a visit to Steel Mill, as the band are about to launch their long awaited second album we had a lot to talk about."The following is an excerpt from the interview with Turisas vocalist Mathias Warlord, conducted by Ville and Kimmo:
Q: Can you describe your song writing process?
A: "It kind of starts from small ideas, you have to have strong faith in what you’re doing in the first place. I write using piano and during the composing you have to keep in mind the main melody, harmonies, chords and rhythm, how they are going to sound in the final result. And it’s good in a way, if I feel it’s working at that point, it’s going to sound good in the end as well."
Q: So will there ever be a Turisas unplugged album?
A: "Not a piano album, no. A well-done unplugged record can be a good thing though, if you can do it differently. Not just playing the same songs without distortion. It takes a lot of arranging to do it properly. It’s not something that we’ve been planning to do, although there have been requests. And it would be nice to do something in a really small scale in a club for example some day. It’s literally the other end of this, instead of doing a full show with outfits and everything. It would be a natural and earthy approach certainly. But something like that would require a huge amount of time and hard work. It’s like writing new songs really."
