5/21/2023 0 Comments Tyr blood of heroes lyricsThere is not a weak song on the entire CD. The two Faroese songs “Grindavisan” and “Fanar Burtur Brandaljoo” are lovely to listen to as always. This song, “The Lay of Our Love”, is a great success and Heri would love to do many more duets in the future. Leave’s Eyes Liv Kristine’s voice is hauntingly beautiful and complements Heri’s perfectly. The fourth song on the album is Týr’s first duet. The third song, “Hell Hath No Fury” is an upbeat song that I can’t help but go around the house singing (much to my children’s chagrin). The first two songs on the album, “Blood of Heroes” and “Mare of My Night”, were kindly released as a preview by Metal Blade records, giving fans a taste of what is to come. This album tells the story of a warrior who leaves his woman to try to die a heroic death in battle and be brought by the Valkyries to the Goddess Freya. Like their previous release “The Lay of Thyrm”, “Valkyrja” is an album with a central theme running through it. “But you haven’t heard it yet Erika!” “That doesn’t matter, I just know it will be.” And boy did Týr deliver! This album is technically brilliant, Heri’s lyrics and melodies are something brought to us from Valhalla, and the music is tight and a joy to listen to. My friends will say “Oh, I hear Týr is coming out with a new CD”, and I will answer “Yes, it’s my favorite album ever”. Týr is one of those groups where, when you hear they are putting out a new album, you just know without doubt it’s going to be great. ![]() Týr hail from the Faroe Islands and “Valkyrja” is their seventh album.) George Kollias is drumming on this album. They are looking for a drummer for their upcoming tour, to replace longtime drummer Kári Streymoy who had to leave the band because of a back injury. ![]() (Týr is songwriter Heri Joensen on vocals and second guitar, Terji Skibenæs on lead guitar and Gunnar Thomsen on bass.
