Týr是一支來自法羅群島的樂隊,將重金屬和民謠金屬融合一體,并帶有強烈的前衛(wèi)金屬特點。他們的作品的主題幾乎都圍繞北歐古老的傳說、神話和歷史。2006年初,他們和奧地利的Napalm Records簽約。樂隊參加了2007年和2008年德國Ragnarök音樂節(jié)
樂隊成立于1998年1月。樂隊的名稱來源于北歐神話中的提爾?,F(xiàn)任樂隊成員包括主唱和吉他手海里·約恩森(Heri Joensen)、吉他手泰依·西本納斯(Terji Skibenæs)、貝斯手貢納爾·H·湯姆森(Gunnar H. Thomsen)。
Progressive folk/Viking metal band Týr formed in 1998 in Denmark around the talents of Heri Joensen, Kári Streymoy, and Gunnar H. Thomsen. Joensen's brother Jón and singer Pól Arni Holm joined the group for its 2002 debut, How Far to Asgaard, but left soon after. New guitarist Terji Skibenæs replaced Jón and Streymoy's brother Allan took over vocal duties on the single Ólavur Riddararós. After Allan's departure, Heri took over lead vocal duties and the band began work on its breakthrough song cycle, Eric the Red. Inspired heavily by Norse mythology (the group is named after a Norse god of war), Eric the Red was originally released in 2003 on the regional Tutl label, but found international success when it was reissued by European giant Napalm. The blistering Ragnarok arrived in 2006, followed by Land in 2008, both of which helped earn the group more praise both locally and internationally for its complex arrangements and keen ear for traditional-infused melody. Based in the Faroes, a group of islands between Iceland and Norway that has been an autonomous region of the Kingdom of Denmark since 1948, Týr continue to record and perform in both English and in their native Faroese language.
