Týr began in January 1998. Heri Joensen met his old bandmate, Kári Streymoy, at a party in Copenhagen, Denmark. Joensen suggested to Streymoy that they should meet up and jam. Streymoy initially declined, but later took him up on his offer.
They were soon joined by another former bandmate, bassplayer Gunnar H. Thomsen, making the duo a trio. They began making music which was heavily inspired by Norse mythology, Faroese traditional music, and heavy metal music in general. 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. Power-, doom-, black-, progressive-, gothic-, viking-, folk-, ethnic- and epic metal. Walls and labels do nothing but fill people with prejudice."[1]
The name of the band comes from Týr, a Norse god. Before Týr, Joensen and Thomsen formed their first band, at the age of seventeen. They called themselves Cruiser. Streymoy also played with them for a short while. They later changed their name to Wolfgang. Although neither band released any albums, Wolfgang lasted until 2000, which was long enough to record an undisclosed amount of songs that, according to Joensen are "pretty much ready to release.[2]"
Týr was a part of the Paganfest tour in Europe and the US in 2008, with Ensiferum headlining. Other bands on the tour included Eluveitie, Turisas in the US, and Moonsorrow and Korpiklaani joined them on the European part of the tour.

"May the mighty Mjølnir nail the bleeding And naked Nazarene upon the pagan planks Pound in the painful nails now and hang him high and dry" One ov my favorite lyrics in music... EVER.
Nich Hanson
"The northern night has never seen the southern cross shine bright" is such a brilliant line when you learn that the southern cross is a constellation in the southern hemisphere.

"They fall, Einherjar, those who fight, Einherjar, those who drink, Einherjar" I'm Faroese, and that's what I translate it to, but I think it seems more like Icelandic than Old Norse... Not sure though, never learned Icelandic nor Old Norse myself :)

did ANYONE appreciate the musicianship of Týr on this album? because, as usual, their sound is kick-ass! if they make a sixth studio album, do you think they should cover a song from bathory's viking-metal years? (heri has admitted that quothorn was an inspiration of his, so i don't see why not)
Borvo
Great album art
