Background information über 'The Best Of The Napalm Years'

Tyr delivers a masterful compilation that showcases the very best of their partnership with Napalm Records, spanning over a decade of Viking metal excellence. "The Best Of The Napalm Years" serves as both a perfect introduction for newcomers and a cherished collection for longtime fans, featuring fourteen tracks that highlight the Faroese band's unique blend of traditional Nordic folk melodies with crushing metal arrangements. From the thunderous opening of "Hail to the Hammer" to the epic storytelling of "Ormurin Langi", this collection demonstrates why Tyr has become one of the most respected names in Viking metal.

The compilation flows seamlessly between the band's most beloved anthems and deeper cuts that showcase their versatility, including the haunting "Evening Star" and the folk-influenced "The Wild Rover". What makes this collection particularly special is how it captures Tyr's evolution while maintaining their core identity - the intricate guitar work, Heri Joensen's distinctive vocals, and the band's ability to weave Faroese history and mythology into compelling metal narratives. Tracks like "Ragnarok" and "Hold the Heathen Hammer High" demonstrate their mastery of both crushing heaviness and melodic sophistication.

For fans of: Amon Amarth, Enslaved, Bathory, Moonsorrow, and Falkenbach
