Einherjer announce new album ‘North Star’
EINHERJER have announced a new album!
Titled North Star, the upcoming album from the Norwegian band is their eighth full-length album and is scheduled to be released in February next year, via Napalm Records.
The upcoming album was recorded in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic at the in-house Studio Borealis, owned by founding member and mastermind Frode Glesnes. The album also marks the band’s return to Napalm Records after 25 years, and the release of 1996’s Dragons Of The North album, which will be re-released as a re-mastered version on February 26th as well.
Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “North Star is our eighth full-length album, and follows in the (Norse) tracks of Norrøne Spor. The North Star is a symbol with numerous meanings. It can be guidance, or it can be a personal mission. Something to reach for. It’s the Anchor of the Northern Sky. We need something steady in this rapidly shifting world we live in. The North Star album is us reaching for something greater. Developing ourselves through a musical journey in classic EINHERJER style – no bullshit, just proper Norse Heavy Metal!”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song to be lifted from the upcoming album; Stars. Speaking about the new song, the band adds, “Stars have many meanings. The night sky is vast and can be overwhelming. Throughout history man has turned to the stars to find answers to all kinds of questions. Stars takes you on a musical journey in classic EINHERJER style. A timeless journey. Without borders. Limited only by your own imagination. And as usual, no bullshit! Just proper Norse Heavy Metal!”
