Says TURISAS frontman Mathias Nygard of the epic video: “Times change, people change, bands change… but do they really change?” Produced and directed by fellow Finn Jukka Salo, the video is a nod to the past while addressing questions about our future. The track is the third  to be unveiled from ‘TURISAS2013’, following “Into The Free” (listen here) and “For Your Own Good” (listen here).

The new album was produced by vocalist Mathias Nygard, and was recorded by Nygard and guitarist Jussi Wickstrom in a remote house outside of Helsinki, Finland. The mixing and mastering was done in London at Orgone Studios with producer Jaime Gomez Arellano [Ghost B.C., Cathedral, Primordial, Ulver].

A son of a US Army war veteran, bassist Laz Pina explains, “I am especially proud to be honoring our troops.

For this we must be grateful.” Vocalist Christian Machado goes on, “As we celebrate the return of our brave soldiers and wounded veterans, we will never forget those who gave their lives. A celebration for those who have served without fear and prejudice is in order.”
