The Last Caress of Light was recorded at Foel Studios in Wales and released early 2011. The result are eight tracks of dark, stormy, epic Celtic Metal with which mix the melancholy and atmosphere of Irish Folk with the epic might of heavy metal bands such as Warlord, Iron Maiden and Thin Lizzy. The album stands out from all else as a record of intense emotional power and honesty; holding the listener within a dark heavy metal storm and not letting go until the last chords have rung out.

DARKEST ERA is:
Krum - Vocals
Ade Mulgrew - Guitar
Sarah Wieghell - Guitar
David Lindsay - Bass
Lisa Howe - Drums

Turisas To Headline Paganfest: America Part III”; Ex Deo Drops Off

Battle metallers TURISAS will be heading back to North America this spring for Guitar World, Full Metal Jackie, and Metal Injection present: "PaganFest: America Part III", their first-ever US headlining run! Joining the Finnish sextet on their triumphant return to the States is a gathering of bands from across the world: Scotland's ALESTORM, Russia's ARKONA, and the US's very own HUNTRESS (Rome's EX DEO has now dropped-off the tour).

In regards to their departure from PaganFest, EX DEO's Maurizio Iacono comments:

"It is with deep disappointment that I am obliged to pull EX DEO off this year's PaganFest. We were all excited to play this festival and premier some new material, but unfortunately our new album 'Caligvla' has been delayed, and we need to finish it and make it perfect. Add to that, the KATAKLYSM DVD is also on its final production phase...We decided it would be best to concentrate on giving every bit of attention to the album you have been waiting for, and also for the KATAKLYSM documentary to kick major ass."

"This being said, we will still perform with EX DEO on the Montreal & Toronto shows with PaganFest, as we will be in studio in the area, closing up the album 'Caligvla'. Everything else is cancelled for EX DEO. We will return to support the album in the fall..."

"Word from Rome is that the plans are already in motion for world conquest! We ask our fans to support PaganFest and the great bands playing this year!"

In conjunction with Guitar World, Full Metal Jackie, and Metal Injection, exclusive PaganFest contests and behind-the-scenes content from all the bands on this epic bill will be launched in the coming weeks, so stay tuned! Special VIP ticket packages are also available here for diehard TURISAS fans-- be sure to order yours while you still can!

Turisas To Headline “Paganfest: America Part III” Tour

Battle metallers TURISAS will be heading back to North America this spring for "PaganFest: America Part III", their first-ever US headlining run! Joining the Finnish sextet on their triumphant return to the States is a gathering of bands from across the world: Scotland's ALESTORM, Rome's EX DEO, Russia's ARKONA, and the US's very own HUNTRESS.

In regards to this upcoming tour, TURISAS front-man Mathias Nygard comments:  "It took time, but finally we had a chance to make it back to North America. After many successful tours there with acts like CRADLE OF FILTH and DRAGONFORCE during the past few years, it's great to return as a headliner. This is a killer combo with great variety-- some of the most twisted acts of the folkier side of metal!  Be prepared for a great night out-- I expect to witness some crazy audiences!"
