Týr release new music video for ‘Hammered’

TÝR have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Hammered, is taken from the Faroe Islands-based folk metal band’s upcoming new album, Battle Ballads, which is scheduled to be released in April this year.

Speaking about the new song, frontman Heri Joensen says, “the song begins with the hammering of metal against metal, forging, then melodic riffing over a simple but classical chord progression that evolves throughout the song. Driving drums, heavy metal over a symphonic soundscape. An adventurous backdrop to the forging of weapons of war, blades of battle. This used to be in the past but now it’s here with a fast-paced singalong chorus. Thoughts on the apparent inevitability of war and our reaction to it. Balancing our enthusiasm against our defeatism.”

Battle Ballads is set for release on April 12th via Metal Blade Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
