I shall now try to put it in a nutshell...Tyr is fine...the voices are good and the overall impression it has left me is wonderful....Especially good is to hear the songs in the authors' native language....I am not an expert of germanic languages so I cannot tell whether it is norwegian, danish or faroese but if anyone here is aware of it then just do not forget to mention it.......
The melodies are great.....the musical emotion is simple and just flows into the hearts of those who are listening...
now your opinions....if you doubt then I just mention that is you respect the culture of vikings and prefer northern way of life and attitude...then it shall be probably satisfying for you.....

Tyr is awesome but I only have one album, Ragnarok, and I have some other songs I get on some compilations, it is really good band to me and I am sorry I didn't manage to hear more, really like their sound, sound of guitars are good and vocal is very joyful.

Ragnarok is basically a further development of "Eric the Red"....a very fine one by the way. It's baroque.....very baroque.....they have used very similar melodies to those we already know and love from "Eric the Red"....and they have woven these melodies into fugues....fine thick and powerful forms of music....it really reminded me Bach's music....and they have used more variations of using melodies....from fine difficult parts to simple folk influenced songs..... "Ragnarok" has indeed proven that Tyr is without any doubt the absolute classic in one's genre.....

I heard Tyr for the first time this year with Ragnarok. At first I didn't really like it (the sometimes dissonant vocal harmonies were off-putting) but it quickly grew on my and I discovered the genius and originality of their take on folk metal. I recently heard their Eric the Red album (after hearing lots of people say it was great) and was a little disappointed. It seemed like mostly basic metal drinking songs and got a little boring. There were a few good songs but the album as a whole lacked the pure magic of Ragnarok. Of course, I only listened the once so will try to reserve my opinion. This band definitely has talent and fun so I'm already waiting for their next album (and rocking out to Ragnarok in the meantime)

@Ylside, No I haven't heard it but I mean to! Yes, I definitely enjoy listening to the older recordings of bands that I'm getting into  You say it's your favourite? Now I'm really excited to hear it

I heard that they are coming to Estonia...well...they will perform on a lovely Tolkien fan club happening....So sad...I amn't going to see them there....though I love this music very much....but at least all little Tolkien fans may jump and sing "We are beautiful! We are the true viking warriors...Period"

So I was at the CD store yesterday, and I saw the Tyr album Ragnarok sitting on the shelf, now i was unsure whether or not to get it, the sound of Epic Progressive Folk metal really apeals to me, but ive been having really bad luck as to buying cds off a whim lately. So could someone describe there sound a little more deeply to me, like maybe in relativity to other bands....

Is there any difference between the Eric the Red released 2003 and the Eric the Red released 2006, except for the album covers and two bonus songs?

Written by [user id=3177] on 26.03.2007 at 13:52 Yay for fangirl stories  Sightly jealous, there =P Korpiklaani guys must've been awesome..Terji IS cute really, nice guy.. So is Heri, though =) Remember talking about Wacken with him back in November.. Really looking forward to see them at Wacken! They're a great band, but I think they're rather difficult to listen to live.. Especially if you don't know the songs. You really have to be in the mood.. Luckily though, I mostly am =)

Tyr is an awsome band, awsome singing and sound. and as a reply to the poster, im not sure if anyone has answered, but i think their native language is call Farose or something, from the Faroe islands jsut off iceland? or was it greenland  but anyways thats just what ive been told so i am not 100% sure on that. but lucky for you guys being able to see them in wacken this year, i wanted to go to it so badly, awsome bands this year. though i tihnk i am going sometime in the next two years which should stil be wicked, hopefully they are playing there when i go!

I guess the language they sometimes sing in is called 'Faroese' or 'Faeroese'.. They're from the Faroe/Faeroe Islands, yes.. BTW, shouldn't some genre be added to the topic? I suggest 'Viking' =) Besides, the band is called Týr, with the accent that is, but I guess most of you knew that [/bitch]

Faeroe Islands are situated somewhere in the sea near the coast of Norway....the islands belong to Denmark...the language spoken there is Faeroese and it's more or less closely related to Old Norse language.....it isn't that close to Danish.....

Týr is really great. I love that they sing stuff in Faeroese even though I don't understand a single word in that language. Ragnarok was great but I think they're a bit too complex at times.

For me it's grand that they sing some verses in English and then switch back to Faeroese again.....it's grand for the Faeroese language has a very viking sound that fits perfectly with the music and creates just the atmosphere needed....it's excellent....and English doesn't bother me here because actually it has a bit similar sound...both are Germanic languages...besides...I love their lyrics...so I can understand everything....

Written by AnneVZ on 02.04.2007 at 09:41 You could always...you know, check the band discography page Anyways, I just bought Ragnarok today and I like it quite a bit, I could see myself getting into these guys deeper, but there kind of like Tool for me; I cant listen to them for long periods or else I just get slightly bored.
