Sang this under the shower last night, the water nozzle transformed into a north Sea winter storm, freezing sleet and snow, waves the size of mountains lashing my body. I then turned the hot tap on and entered Valhalla.
Lyrics: Týr - Stýrisvølurin And whoever reigns these cliffs, did not defeat the wind They held the tiller when the storm broke loose "Steer into the wind," shouted one and united they pulled the tiller, but all in vain The course has been set, carved in stone And are we satisfied when the tale is told And does your ship advance regardless of what you want They fought over the rudderless tiller And still we hold the tiller as we Think we are free, thrallborn unconsulted so We all drift on the graveyard field In desolate halls, about distant mountains Drenched and weary by the northwestern storm, and the winds rages in Midgard To Asgard where the Ash stood, like the threads of life then flapped in the breeze We all drift on the graveyard field In desolate halls, about distant mountains And plains, knowing what goal we are capable of living And destiny draws slowly, we drift to meet it We all drift on the graveyard field In desolate halls, about distant mountains Well aware of the course of destiny but it is comforting that choice is before us Countless your possible courses, but discomforting that the choice has been made, only one course The course has been set, carved in stone And are we satisfied when the tale is told
The beauty of really good music is that it doesn't matter what language it's in, you feel it, and understand it anyway. Timeless, and amazingly well written. \m/ \m/
I just love this band, especially when they´re singing in Faroe language. I did get a bunch of goosebumps all over me first time i heard them (Hold The Heathen Hammer High) it´s a really good track that I can listen to over and over again, The video is really good too. Yes, you´re right, English isn´t my home language.
thesatanic6 ya, you can check some Valkyria interviews where they say that ._. I probably can't understand it the way you feel since you're icelandic and all, after all both language are pretty much alike and you'd wish good things to a brother. I'm a linguistic fan, btw, and I started listening Týr because of Faroese. I don't think the English songs of theirs are that relevant. I listen to Skálmöld too for the same reason.
Hello Tyr, beautiful and love the spirit in the music and lyrics and tone of the singer's voice. I spent two years , stationed in Iceland back in 1982-1984. I miss it, this brings it back. So many places near Keflavik on the Southern coast are like this. I enjoyed it very much and the people.
Pray do! I've been there once, to Ólafsvaka, camped near Torshavn, drank and anced vikivaki with the faroaoeseans in the neighboring tent and it was great! I seriously recommend you going there. Very beautiful and the people in general appeared very nice. I'll probably try to go again next year and/or to G festival. Týr rocks and I'm going to their concert in Iceland tonight! :D
I'm an American, I'd more than gladly join you both if I could ever afford to. I've worshiped this band for a decade now, literally from day one, own everything and a couple shirts and a hoodie. Wish I could see them live some day. Learned a lot of the language and history because of them. Got a couple tattoos based on the experience.
One of my favorite song to take a walk or hike in the woods and mountain sides across any land, doesn't matter if it's Norway, Montana or were every you live, mountains to me are beautiful as well as any other land scape. The bass drum echo in the second verse gets me every time...
Thanks for the upload! Just discovered this band and have decided I love them. The melody of the verse sounds very similar to a traditional Welsh song "Sosban Fach". I was quietly dissapointed when I realised it wasn't, hehe.
Hi, i'm chilean and i have discovered this band around 2 years ago, i've always like the nordic mythology and of course all this kind of music, cuase i'm a metal guitarist. I was gladly surprised with the petition of "no racist comments" that makes the people bigger person. But i cannot ignore you have a better culture and so beautiful countries hehe. Mange Takk for this music ;) and greetings from Chile!
The lowest point is at sea level, and the highest is at Slættaratindur, which is 882 metres above sea level. The landscape made roadbuilding difficult, and only recently has this been remedied by building tunnels. View of the west coast of Suðuroy. Many of the Faroese islands tend to be elongated in shape. Their appearance on a map looks like sliced bread.
This song is about Scandinavian culture and the survival of that, not religion in particular. So all these arguments are irrelevant anyway. On another note, this is one of my favorite songs by Týr. I love the language and the lyrics, and this is a beautiful piece.
the faeroe islands are part of scandinavia, hence tyr singing about vikings and norse mythology and history. and the language of the faeroes is quite similar to that of iceland. icelands language is almost identical to old norse, the language of the vikings
The Faroe Islands are an island group consisting of eighteen islands off the coast of Northern Europe, between the Norwegian Sea and the north Atlantic Ocean, about half-way between Iceland and Norway. Its coordinates are 62°N 7°W / 62°N 7°W / 62; -7. It is 1,399 square kilometres in area, and includes no major lakes or rivers. There are 1,117 kilometres of coastline, and no land boundaries with any other country.
AS an American, I can tell you that you should not allow for the Americanization of your culture. You have such a profound culture. Hold onto it! Culture is a uniting factor. In America, we only say we are united, but disturbingly so, not many people can define how that is. Long live Norge. Racism is a copout, We are proud of our ancestors and our race; our Norse lineage.
Everything about this band is great. Folk Music lends itself to "Rocking up " so well, and not just European folk either. Sure, bands like Skyclad, Folkenbach and their Ilk come to mind, but any folk/rock fans should check out some of what is coming out of countries like Pakistan (Aag in particular) when traditional melodies and songs are fused with modern western metal influences to equally great effect.
I wish to go there some day, on a short vacation.. But denmarks nice too; flat, full of water, and nothing much interesting. Gotta love lil' denmark :b
I REALLY tire of people who say that faroes are irish vikings! yes, they have it in their ancestry, but that's like saying americans are german since the english came from anglo-saxons. Anywho, Tyr is amazing! Song is epic! Can't wait for "By the Light of the North Star"
I can't understand a word, but i fucking love how Týr sounds. Don't need to understand words to appreciate music eh? ;) It reminds me the fascination i have for German bands too.
Its no surprise these people became renowned, they are so far north nothing would have been able to attack from "above" them, that and the harsh environment they lived in much as the russians basically overtime turned them into a group of hardy folk who were almost BORN to be warriors and good ones at that
Pagan also means of the earth. As in farmers and simple folk and their simple ways of the earth. But that is where it got it's meaning of not being of the traditional mainstream religions. Hail Óðinn!
The first settlers in the Faroe Islands, came from the west land of Norway, so the origin of this language must come from there, but its 1000 years ago, so the language have must likely been somewhat different than today.
@FruitiJack As for the inclusion of Finland, we were ruled by both Swedes and Russians, and our 2nd official language is still Swedish! The island of Åland is still mainly Swedish...Thus you could say we're part of the same cultural-linguistic group in at least some way, even though Finnish doesn't of course belong to the same language family...At least the identification is very strong from our part, i.e. west, not east.
however, i want to clarify that what i thought was so amazing is that svithjod, or sviðatjóð, was only a small part of what modern sweden is today. it was the area of uppland västmanland and södermanland more or less, the old lands of the svea-tribe . It was before they joined with götaland gotland småland and norrland etc (and later scania when it was taken from denmark). modern Sweden could theoretically have been called Gothen today but for a number of reasons the Swe-prefix was chosen.
i do enjoy the music, by my comment i just meant that now most people are stimulated to do things via money, and oil is just the one single resource. Back then our one main resource was usually food, in which we would grow it or barter it for something we had.

sounds like a fun time bro
This is where Metal Became Glorious Again.
Yeah bro dis song is fuqn amazing
Vilja tit lýða og ljóð geva mær...
I will never forget the first notes Ive heard from Tyr!
Lyrics: Týr - Stýrisvølurin
And whoever reigns these cliffs, did not defeat the wind
They held the tiller when the storm broke loose
"Steer into the wind," shouted one and united they
pulled the tiller, but all in vain
The course has been set, carved in stone
And are we satisfied when the tale is told
And does your ship advance regardless of what you want
They fought over the rudderless tiller
And still we hold the tiller as we
Think we are free, thrallborn unconsulted so
We all drift on the graveyard field
In desolate halls, about distant mountains
Drenched and weary by the northwestern
storm, and the winds rages in Midgard
To Asgard where the Ash stood, like the
threads of life then flapped in the breeze
We all drift on the graveyard field
In desolate halls, about distant mountains
And plains, knowing what goal we are capable of living
And destiny draws slowly, we drift to meet it
We all drift on the graveyard field
In desolate halls, about distant mountains
Well aware of the course of destiny but it is
comforting that choice is before us
Countless your possible courses, but
discomforting that the choice has been made,
only one course
The course has been set, carved in stone
And are we satisfied when the tale is told
thank you!\m/
Wonderful
The first picture is the most fucking perfect viking ship that I have ever seen
Good one!
That ship is a fishing vessel, useless for going viking...
@@Vestlys1 woosh
😂😂😂😂
@@Vestlys1 bullshit, this vessel is soaked in fish blood, use your imagination
I may not have mountains, but I can still walk the 600ft mesa's of Wisconsin and listen to this!

Yes, you´re right, English isn´t my home language.
Torbjörn Likvern it's a pity they don't take that much account to Faroese itself now, they said they're not a band for "obscure languages fans"
thesatanic6 ya, you can check some Valkyria interviews where they say that ._.

+Vickie Vet1988 I'm sorry, but this isn't Iceland, it's the Faroe Islands.
i was fishing in keplavik in 1982 did you see columbia ween it came to keflavik before it came in some museum in 82 vickie vet 1988
I love how the sea is the music at the beginning and end, and how in the middle the band sounds like the sea.
Pray do! I've been there once, to Ólafsvaka, camped near Torshavn, drank and anced vikivaki with the faroaoeseans in the neighboring tent and it was great!

Týr rocks and I'm going to their concert in Iceland tonight! :D
Love is such a small word for Týr.
I really enjoy their music,it's so magical and relaxing *_*
Great band, great music and great pictures of the Faroes. Just enjoy it people. Good vid hansrogvu.
Tiw, Thunor, Woden.
Awsome song, Greatings to our celtiic brothers to Fearoe islands. Greetings from Pannonia ... Hungary..

Evelyn Rodríguez Ramírez scandinavia earth of metal !!!! And beautifull nature..mistic .
WOW.😍Tyr is so amazing!!🤘🤘💙

i just found these guys today, and ive listened to almost 25 songs so far. THESE GUYS ARE SO AWESOME!

Listening to this song gave me a chill on my skin and a warmth in my heart.
What a great song, and what gorgeous voices!
I cant get enough of this band, they're incredible.
Heil Odin!
Hammer Lied! Hammer Band !

Ég hef bara fundið Tyr , elska þá. Headed til Osló með fullt af stoppum . Ég vona að ég geti séð þessa miklu hljómsveit á tónleikum !
Alan Hirschenhofer II from the Faroes but I still understood what you said
Cool, Because I understand you and Tyr;c) Gladdings to you on Freya Day;c)
Alan Hirschenhofer II takk fyri tað!
Ég eins og að trúa eins , Það er flott yfirlýsing vinur minn Tak ; c )
tað var deiligt at tú elskar hendan tónleikin tað vísur bara hvussu góðir týr eru :)

I can not even understand a single word, but i love this song!!
ME ENCANTA ESTE GRUPO ! SALUDOS DESDE ESPAÑA CHICOS.
awesome song, great pics. Tyr kicks some serious ass.
crazy radical and awsome mountains, probably made by a really rough ocean
This song is about Scandinavian culture and the survival of that, not religion in particular. So all these arguments are irrelevant anyway. On another note, this is one of my favorite songs by Týr. I love the language and the lyrics, and this is a beautiful piece.
Faroese dialect very cool !.................and i like that island at 1:57. a natural fortress!
Mankind, stepping on itself since it first began.
fantastic pictures, and music!!
These guys never cease to amaze me ... Freaking awesome sangur !!
whatever language they're speaking, it sounds amazing.
I'm a Viking girl and I love Týr!!!!
this sounds so cool to my ears. first song I hear of them :D
a great place to start my friend
You know it's gonna be good when there's a seagull in the picture.
the faeroe islands are part of scandinavia, hence tyr singing about vikings and norse mythology and history. and the language of the faeroes is quite similar to that of iceland. icelands language is almost identical to old norse, the language of the vikings

muy bueno!! es genial esta cancion!!
Very interesting, greatly appreciate your time for writing this, good stuff. :)
First came across this song back in 2012..
first time i listen to Viking Metal and its pretty siick!! XD
Excellent vid, man.
Make some more, would you kindly.
5/5
I wish to go there some day, on a short vacation.. But denmarks nice too; flat, full of water, and nothing much interesting. Gotta love lil' denmark :b
OMG amazing photographs, really, they make me dream :)
This is such a great song and its a shame that a language barrier turns some people off to such amazing music.
Let us all do a big Viking-Crew on a wonderfull Ship singing these Songs...
Somtimes we'll go ashore to love our home-wenches
this is amazing thank you for uploading
I REALLY tire of people who say that faroes are irish vikings! yes, they have it in their ancestry, but that's like saying americans are german since the english came from anglo-saxons.

Amazing song x]
its so awesome song !
weather, people, expensive prices, lots of things haha, but I like some bands from there, there are really nice musicians over that place :D
Grym låt! Skandinavien förenat röstar jag för ;)
that sounds nice, when you can get back to me about the faroe islands, they and iceland are the most appealing to me
Some elders in north/mid Norway do speak similar words as we do.
I often wonder how ancient Vikings would react to Metal.
Pagan also means of the earth. As in farmers and simple folk and their simple ways of the earth. But that is where it got it's meaning of not being of the traditional mainstream religions. Hail Óðinn!
it is the arm or robe that is conected to rodder on the old longboats, stýrisvølur is what you use to stear the ship.
Hail Týr, stolt af Færeyjum. Vinsamlegast afsökun allir málfræði mistök, þetta er annað mál mín.
So sad, so true, so beautiful
Hoping to study abroad by the end of college, can't wait
these pictures are amazing.
Fucking love Heri's vocals. I love the language too.
i like this song
The first settlers in the Faroe Islands, came from the west land of Norway, so the origin of this language must come from there, but its 1000 years ago, so the language have must likely been somewhat different than today.
i love the pictures. wish to get them to wallpapers
i love northern europe, my family and i are spending our holidays in denmark / danmark (donw know how its written in english, sorry) every year
Epic!
Greeting from Australia!

They looks great...
bonito el tema
THANK YOU!!! btw, it wasn't me who said it. i was just trying to get an intelligent opinion on my side, and you have provided that. danka, thank you.
tip toe through the tulips
i do enjoy the music, by my comment i just meant that now most people are stimulated to do things via money, and oil is just the one single resource. Back then our one main resource was usually food, in which we would grow it or barter it for something we had.
I am going to ask people not to post any Racist or offending comments on this video. I have uploaded this video for people to enjoy.
funny - the language all different scandinavians communicate in and most know how to speak is also derived from old Norse - its called English
