Týr - Working On A New Album
The Faroese folk metal outfit Týr just got the all clear to start recording their eighth full-length installment. You'll do well to remember that their last album, Valkyrja, was released only a couple of years ago, in 2013. Týr's guitarist and vocalist Heri Joensen has shared the news on his personal Facebook page.
He says: "Jacob Hansen has cleared and authorised us to start recording the guitars for the next Týr album! We have sent him a few test recordings over the last few weeks and he has checked the quality. We have now reached a working method that allows us to record raw guitar signal in high enough quality.
"This time we are recording the guitars and basses at home, in our own makeshift studios. Hopefully we will be able to do the same with the vocals, but that remains to be seen. It takes some practise and some equipment, not all of it very cheap either. Some of the songs are still at the writing stage, and some of the songs are finished.
"We have split the songwriting more even this time. Terji has written six songs, I have written six songs and Gunnar has written two. We expect there to be twelve songs on the standard issue, and fourteen on a special edition. But that will be up to the label, Metal Blade Records. No lyrics are written as of yet, but we have a general theme, and possibly even a name, for the album. And I have pages upon pages of notes, quotes and anecdotes that I hope to turn into the lyrics for the new Týr album. Stay tuned for updates!"
