Finnish folk metal band Turisas recorded a cover of Rasputin, released on September 21, 2007 through Century Media. According to Warlord Nygard of Turisas, interviewed in Metal Hammer magazine he responded with: "There's a ferry route between Finland and Sweden where people go to buy cheap booze and get wasted. I was sitting there watching a band playing 70s disco covers. They blasted into "Rasputin," and I realised that it would fit perfectly for Turisas." The band has been playing the cover live for a few years and finally decided to record it because of the very positive feedback by the fans. A music video was shot as well.
