Background information about 'How Far To Asgaard (Re-Release)'

Tyr have long been one of the most distinctive voices in the Faroese metal scene, and "How Far To Asgaard" is where it all began to take shape. This is the record that planted the flag for the band's signature blend of thunderous metal riffing and the ancient, haunting melodies of Norse and Faroese folk tradition. From the very first notes, you can feel the cold North Atlantic wind blowing through the arrangements, with Heri Joensen's commanding vocals weaving stories of gods, warriors, and the eternal question of how far one must go to reach the halls of Asgaard.

The album is a masterclass in balancing raw aggression with melodic beauty. Tracks like "Hail to the Hammer" and the title track hit with the force of a war drum, while the folk-infused passages bring a warmth and authenticity that sets Tyr apart from so many of their contemporaries. The production is crisp and powerful, letting every guitar riff and every vocal harmony breathe. This is Viking metal at its most honest, rooted in real tradition rather than mere spectacle. For anyone who has ever felt the pull of the old sagas or simply loves metal that tells stories worth hearing, "How Far To Asgaard" is an essential piece of the puzzle, a record that still sounds vital and exciting years after its release.

Ensiferum, Amon Amarth, Finntroll, Eluveitie
