'''''Stand Up and Fight''''' is the third studio album by the [[Finland|Finnish]] [[folk metal]] band [[Turisas]], released worldwide on February 23, 2011 through [[Century Media]] as a single disc jewelcase and two disc digibook.<ref>{{cite news|title=TURISAS: New Album Details Revealed|url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=151080|accessdate=December 18, 2010|newspaper=[[blabbermouth.net]]|date=December 17, 2010}}</ref> It is based on the [[Varangian Guard]], [[norsemen]] in the service of the [[Byzantine Empire]].

According to Nygård, the lyrics, (dealing in part with the 11th century [[Byzantine Empire]]) have a universal appeal and are applicable to the modern world. Musically, the band incorporated more progressive elements, as well as influences from such genres as the 1980s [[Arena rock|stadium rock]]. For the first time, real [[string section|string]] and [[horn section|horn]] sections were used to record the album, adding to the dynamic sound.
