Turisas é uma banda finlandesa de Folk Metal sinfônico fundada em 1997 pelo vocalista Mathias Nygård e o guitarrista Jussi Wickström. Seu nome oriunda de um monstro marinho da mitologia finlandesa algumas vezes considerado um deus da guerra. O título do primeiro álbum, Battle Metal, (lançado em 2004), deu origem ao termo do mesmo nome, sendo usado com uma descrição do Folk Metal (principalmente pela revista Metal Hammer e seus leitores). Porém, o Battle Metal não é caracterizado como um subgênero do Metal. Em outubro de 2005, tempo depois do lançamento do primeiro álbum, o guitarrista, George Laakso, sofreu um acidente de carro e, devido a extensão de sua lesão medular, em julho de 2006 declarou sua demissão definitiva da banda. Mesmo com o acidente de Laakso, a banda continuou a trabalhar, e em seu segundo álbum, intitulado The Varangian Way, o guitarrista Jussi Wickström assumiu a posição de Laakso na guitarra para gravá-lo.
