Additional notes:



Previously known as Köyliö.



In July 2004, Georg was stabbed six times in the back after getting in a fight with a stranger.



Early morning on October 29th 2005 Georg was in a severe car accident that left him wheelchair-bound. After several months uncertainty, he finally retired in July 2006. It is unlikely that he will ever be able to walk or play guitar again.



Hannu Horma, Olli Vänskä, and Janne Mäkinen played with Turisas as touring guests before being added to the permanent line-up during the recording of the second album. Antti Ventola left the band around the same time. Turisas used to use two live accordion players (Ylitalo and Boncamper, then Mäkinen and Laurila) before Lisko became a full band member.
