Background information about 'The Best Of The Napalm Years'

What a journey it's been for these Faroese metal warriors! "The Best Of The Napalm Years" serves as the ultimate testament to Tyr's extraordinary decade-long partnership with Napalm Records, showcasing the band's evolution from traditional folk metal pioneers to internationally acclaimed Viking metal legends. This collection captures the raw power and mythological storytelling that has made Tyr one of the most distinctive voices in the metal scene. From the thunderous battle cry of "Hail To The Hammer" to the epic storytelling of "Ormurin Langi", every track demonstrates why these Nordic storytellers have earned such devoted following worldwide.

The compilation brilliantly spans Tyr's most celebrated period, featuring crushing anthems like "Hold The Heathen Hammer High" alongside more introspective pieces such as "Evening Star".

Tracks like "Ragnarok" and "Shadow Of The Swastika" demonstrate their fearless approach to tackling complex historical themes, while "The Wild Rover" shows their playful side with traditional folk interpretations that somehow feel perfectly at home in their metal context.
