5.0 out of 5 stars Progressive Viking Metal?, January 19, 2007

I love Viking Metal, Black Metal, Progressive Rock, Thrash, and some Power Metal if it is over the top and Tyr is a cool mix of all those types of music. They bring a really blend of Progressive Rock and Metal, Epic Power metal meets James Hetfield vocals, Shredding riffs and tons of solos. All of their music is very melodic. The vocals never get screamy, but tend to stay between a melodic croon and a gruff shout and there are tons of power metal layered background vocals on the choruses. Tyr are a 4 piece band with 2 guitarists who both shred amazingly and instead of really fast riffs, opt for slower and mid paced progressive rock riffs and catchy folky epic leads that give them the black/viking metal feel even though they dont have the aggression or dark mood of that kind of music. The songs on Ragnarok are great, very catchy choruses, tons of changes, mellow breakdowns, folk interludes, sing-alongs, key changes, jazzy time signatures, etc...

The theme to all of the songs are Viking battles, epic journeys, the afterlife, death in battle, finding ones self and are based on ancient pagan myths and history. Did i mention that these guys are from the Faroe Islands, between northern Europe and Iceland.

Get this record if you like good catchy epic metal that isnt to aggressive or dark. If you like Metallica, Sonata Arctica, Amon Amarth, or Ensiferum, you will love this!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm ready for Battle, February 20, 2007

What a Band!!!!!!! I've been looking for a band that does Progressive/Epic Viking/Metal with "clean" vocals for sometime. I dig the harsh vocals, as Enslaved are my favorite band in this genre. Enslaved have done incredible "Viking" metal(Vikingligr Veldi, Frost and Eld) from a Black/metal persective. So, I wanted something from a heavy/epic approach. And Tyr fit the bill magnificently. The guitar work is brilliant(return of the skullgaffer, ride to hel just 2 examples) but, throughout this masterpiece the guitars are stunning, as is, the drummer and the bass playing. These guys are the complete package. Vocals are very well done, as they are sung in English and imo, the beautiful language of Faroese. Tyr tell an excellent story with this brilliant slab of Metal. I am ready to go into battle and die on the field, whenever I listen to this masterpiece. Just lay my sword by my side. And play "Ragnarok" at my Viking pyre. Get it or die.
