Týr release new live music video for ‘Hold The Heathen Hammer High’

TÝR have released a new live music video!

The new live music video, for the track Hold The Heathen Hammer High, is taken from the Faroese folk metal band’s upcoming new live album, A Night At The Nordic House, which is scheduled to be released in March this year.

“The lyrics of Hold the Heathen Hammer High are about upholding the old Northern ways, but in a modern fashion, not religiously but culturally,” explains band founder, guitarist and vocalist Heri Joensen. “The original video was very anti-Christian, although that was never the main message of the song. This new symphonic live version, with the symphony orchestra Holding the Heathen Hammer High with us, will bring out the modern heathen in us all!”

A Night At The Nordic House is set for release on March 18th via Metal Blade Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
