Description

Pioneers of Viking metal, Einherjer, have released a single for Mine Våpen Mine Ord, from their ninth full-length, Norrone Spor. Einherjer’s Norse heritage is a phenomenon that reaches far beyond what one can hear alone. It is an amalgamation of the mystique and sagas of old, of songs and poems, of woodcutting and sword grinding and the vikings merciless way of life. It’s a cultural patchwork that fills the consciousness with the brutal majesty of the Nordic nature, the elemental strain, of mighty longships plowing the black seas to reach unknown shores. The wisdom of the gods and their Valhalla. Of cultural encounters and trade. Of violence and brutality. Of tough men in a tough time. Their hometown Haugesund also rings with historic sound, and from their own shores on the west coast of Norway the influence of the Vikings stretched towards the sea and the world beyond. The adventurers, pioneers, poets and craftsmen have inspired Einherjer to go their own way. The Vikings’ courage and boldness have inspired us to never compromise Einherjer’s vision: A vision that is a unique, self-made, original and modern interpretation of our mighty Nordic heritage. The band’s vocalist and bassist, Frode Glesnes, has commented their single: New Einherjer single! It always feels good to release something new, but this time we’ve fuckin’ nailed it!. The single is also backed up by a none-album track, a cover version of Motorhead’s Deaf Forever
