Finland's TURISAS have posted a video clip online, in which vocalist Mathias "Warlord" Nygård speaks about the past summer, the upcoming third album, new songs and future touring plans.
From the video: "... We've done great progress. Of course there's still a lot of pre-production and work to be done... but it's shaping up nicely and I'm happy to tell you that you can start looking forward to an excellent third Turisas album. Already now we're working on shows and tours in territories we've never played before... also in other places than only Europe and North America and we're highly looking forward to finally being able to take this live show over to where our fans have been waiting for this for a very long time."

Furthermore, Nygård and Turisas have been awarded with the 2009 Culture Award by the Regional Council of Häme province.
