TÝR have announced a new live album!

Titled A Night At The Nordic House, the upcoming album from the Faroese folk metal band is the follow-up to 2019’s Hel and captures the band performing at The Nordic House in Tórshavn, the Faroes on February 8th, 2020 alongside the Symphony Orchestra. The live album is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Metal Blade Records.

Alongside the announcement of the new live album, the band have released a new live clip from the upcoming release; for the song By The Sword In My Hand.

Watch the official live music video for By The Sword In My Hand here:

“Working with the Symphony Orchestra was without a doubt one of the highlights of our careers,” admits vocalist Heri Joensen. “The feeling of sheer sophisticated power behind us was extraordinarily uplifting. We were awed by how well the songs worked in a symphonic setting. By The Sword In My Hand, for example, seems to take on a new life. It is based on a Nordic traditional melody, and the lyrics are about Sigmundur Brestisson, Faroese Viking chieftain who, on behalf of the king Olaf of Norway, forcibly Christianized the Faroes. We are very excited to finally release a live DVD, CD and LP, and even with the incredible new artwork by Gyula Havancsák, that excellently captures the epic atmosphere of the event. In other news, our team is working on tours, festivals and shows, so please stay tuned and patient. We hope to see you all soon!”
