Týr - Hold the Heathen Hammer High - A Night at the Nordic House (LIVE)

Buy here: www.metalblade....
‪@Tyrband‬ delivers a stunning show performed live with the Symphony Orchestra of the Faroe Islands. This special event was recorded at The Nordic House in Tórshavn, the Faroes on February 8th, 2020. This seismic live album will be available on Metal Blade Records on 2 LP (gatefold, with insert, poster, digital download), a 2 CD/DVD digi-book set with 12-page booklet, and everywhere digital music is sold on March 18th, 2022.
"Working with the Symphony Orchestra was without a doubt one of the highlights of our careers," admits vocalist Heri Joensen. "The feeling of sheer sophisticated power behind us was extraordinarily uplifting. We were awed by how well the songs worked in a symphonic setting. 'By The Sword In My Hand', for example, seems to take on a new life. It is based on a Nordic traditional melody, and the lyrics are about Sigmundur Brestisson, Faroese Viking chieftain who, on behalf of the king Olaf of Norway, forcibly Christianized the Faroes. We are very excited to finally release a live DVD, CD and LP, and even with the incredible new artwork by Gyula Havancsák, that excellently captures the epic atmosphere of the event. In other news, our team is working on tours, festivals and shows, so please stay tuned and patient. We hope to see you all soon!"

The c word

[@NASCAR_Junk]

They hired an orchestra? That’s awesome.

[@peterpandemonium3336]

Týr is a god in Germanic mythology, a valorous and powerful member of the Æsir and patron of warriors and mythological heroes. In Norse mythology, which provides most of the surviving narratives about gods among the Germanic peoples, Týr sacrifices his hand to the monstrous wolf Fenrir, who bites it off when he realizes the gods have bound him. Tuesday is ultimately derived from Tyr's Day -Wikipedia much more at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%BDr

There's actually a dude dinging a hammer. Amazing.

"Tyr" is the second metal band that I know after "Epica" who have held concerts accompanied with an orchestra.

[@radwald189]

You've never heard of Metallica?

[@mexic8l]

@@radwald189 yes! But I didn't know, so when?

[@NASCAR_Junk]

Arkona, Fleshgod Apocalypse, numerous others do. A lot of bands try, It’s just a matter of finding an orchestra who will play with a metal band.

you should check out Skalmöld’s concert with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra!
