Folk metal skupina Turisas veliki je pobjednik Finnish Metal Awardsa, koji se proteklog vikenda održao u sklopu Finnish Metal Expoa u Cable Factory dvorani u Helsinkiju.
Turisas je osvojio nagradu za najbolji finski bend godine, njihov album “Stand Up And Fight” je album godine i ima najbolju naslovnicu, dok je Mathias “Warlord” Nygard pjevač godine.
Dobitnikom se može smatrati i Insomnium, koji se zahvaljujući albumu “One For Sorrow” svrstao odmah do Turisasa, a gubitnikom Nightwish, kojemu “Imaginaerum” nije priskrbio nijednu ‘čelnu’ poziciju.
Pobjednika je birala publika putem SMS-a i Interneta, a glasovalo je više od 20.000 ljudi.
