Tyr

Týr is a Viking metal band from Faroe Islands formed in 1998. The current band’s line-up consists of Heri Joensen (vocals, guitar), Terji Skibenæs (guitar), Gunnar H. Thomsen (bass) and of Kári Streymoy (drums). The band incorporates many elements from folk and progressive metal. Generally, the band’s sound is heavily inspired by Norse mythology, Faroese traditional music and heavy metal. According to the band’s frontman Heri Joensen Týr's "musical mission is to break down the walls that are erected between all the kinds of metal that have arisen over the years.” During its career, the band has released five studio albums: How Far to Asgaard (2002), Eric the Red (2003), Ragnarok (2006), Land (2008) and By the Light of the Northern Star (2009).
