Description

2012 re-issue For those who are not familiar with Thyrfing, Thyrfing play Folk-inspired Viking Metal like no other band I've heard. The melodies are very Folk-influenced while the Scandinavian Metal-edge present in all its glory. Lyrically Thyrfing sings hymns based-upon the glorious Nordic Mythology as perfectly displayed by their music. Upon listening to their albums you'll find yourself running through forests with Fenrir, drinking mead with timeless warriors in the Golden Halls of Valhalla, and, of course, chanting your glory to the almighty Odin. I have never heard a band represent Nordic Mythology so perfectly on both lyrical and musical terms as Thyrfing has. Now that you, the reader, have an idea of what Thyring sounds like lets get on to the album: Valdr Galga. Valdr Galga is Thyrfing's second full-length recording and it is my favorite Thyrfing release alongside their debut, self-titled release. The songs range from faster numbers such as the opening track Storms Of Asgard to Viking Hymns such as the closing track A Great Man's Return (my favorite Viking Metal song) and everything in between 😉 Every single track on this album is what I consider perfect Viking Metal so do not feel that there are any weak tracks since I only mentioned two. Every track is amazing here! … If you call yourself a Viking Metal fan your collection is not complete without this masterpiece and defining piece of the genre. Raise your horns men and begin to set sail into one of the World's greatest Viking Metal albums! Hail! Track Listing 1. Heading For The Golden Hall 2. Storms Of Asgard 3.
