The one-armed God of War – the bravest of all – ‘Tyr’.
Tyr are a band originating from the Faroe Islands, touring in countries such as Iceland, Denmark, Russia, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Finland, Russia,
Germany, and of course, the Faroe Islands.
Their album ‘Eric the Red’ went on to become the best sold album in the Faroe Islands and earned them recognition from Australian record company,
‘Napalm Records’.
Almost every song is based on Faroese or Nordic lore, generally through the genre of Folk Metal. In 2006, Tyr started work on the album ‘Ragnarok’, -
a personal favourite of mine – according to the Tyr website, “Ragnarok emerges as a masterpiece within the true Viking Metal genre!”.
Tyr have a good discography;
