The TYR Vikings have completed their latest work under the glow of the North Star. On "By the Light of the Northern Star" the Faroese band delivers catchy yet technically brilliant tracks, and once again demonstrates how to impressively unite the contemporary present with the mythological past. Traditional homeland melodies, Viking choruses, and classic heavy metal
songs, such as "Hold the Heathen Hammer High" or even the title track, offer fans new and powerful hymns. Responsible for the brilliance of this "Northern Star" is once again frontman and mastermind Heri Joensen, who provides an undisputed goose bump factor with his clean and majestic vocals. "By the Light of the Northern Star" offers Viking Metal that only TYR can forge. Follow the North Star to Asgard!

So I heard Viking Metal was a genre of music and when I asked youtube to play me Viking Metal this was the first song that came up. I am not disappointed.
Bebedorra try ensiferum and managarm...there my current favorite folk metal bands...
You should try Amon Amarth as well....
Regarding "Viking metal" i think that's a genre that encompasses metal bands of all types that have a Viking theme. There are many bands from different types of genres that sing of Vikings: black metal, folk metal, heavy metal, power metal and etc.
You don't get more Viking than that.

First time I Heard this song, my biceps grew testicles; my testicles grew biceps 💪🏻
Hold up
I have the strangest urge to grab an axe, get on a longboat, and raid a monastery.
Want my number, so you can call me, when you guys set sail?
+Quinntus79 Go find a LARP game near you eg EMPIRE
www.profounddecisions.co.uk/empire
+Quinntus79 Count me in. I have my own battleaxe. . .
+Quinntus79 I don't know why, but "raid a monastery" made this really funny. Just being so specific made me laugh for some reason, I guess. :P
+Quinntus79 got room for one more on your longboat?
My wife, who doesn't like metal, makes me play this song all the time when we play tunes while drinking and I'm ok with it.
That's great to hear :) Cheers to both of you!

I have to add that I absolutely enjoy what y'all do and introduced you to her a few years ago. Thank you for what you do.
Heathen heart
Pagan pride
Faring far
Sword by Side
Tribal times
Northern nights
Hidden high
Runic rites I was told
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high with a battle cry
For the pagan past I live and one day will die
Hold the heathen hammer high, never turn away
Ever true unto your forefathers stalwart stay
Hold the Heathen Hammer high with a battle cry
For the pagan past I live and one day will die
Hold the heathen hammer high, never turn away
Down the wayward way so far faring strangers stray
Hold the heathen hammer high
Weather wild
Blackened blade
Angry eyes
Ruthless raid
Heathen heart
Pagan pride
Faring far
Sword by Side
hard and cold
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high with a battle cry
For the pagan past I live and one day will die
Hold the heathen hammer high, never turn away
Ever true unto your forefathers stalwart stay
Hold the Heathen Hammer high with a battle cry
For the pagan past I live and one day will die
Hold the heathen hammer high, never turn away
Down the wayward way so far faring strangers stray
Hold the heathen hammer high
From a pagan past that only the heathen hold
From the far end of the world and of times untold
I bring message to your mids of the ways of old
Ways reluctantly abandoned if truth be told
Ways abandoned for a scavenger of our souls
Living on malicious lies, hiding in the holes
Cruel and credible as any our tale of trolls
Hold the heathen hammer highest of all your goals
Hold the heathen hammer high with a battle cry
For the pagan past I live and one day will die
Hold the heathen hammer high, never turn away
Ever true unto your forefathers stalwart stay
Hold the Heathen Hammer high with a battle cry
For the pagan past I live and one day will die
Hold the heathen hammer high, never turn away
Down the wayward way so far faring strangers stray
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high
Heathen heart
Pagan pride
Farting far

When I go to Hel i'm gonna rock out with Baldr to this dank tune.
Hail to the old gods !
I'll meet you there.
No, Hel because I don't see myself dying in battle anytime soon.
Half those who die in battle go to Odin's hall of Valhalla and the other half go to Fólkvangr which belong to Freyja. Everyone else goes to Hel which is ruled by the goddess of the same name.
thats not 100% true brother. i am also a asatruer and there are more places than just hel or Valhalla. if you lived life pure and followed the 9 virtues youll go to another place cannot remmeber what its called but there you get to be with family and live life like you did before until ragnarok
My beard grew a beard.
My beard immediately started drinking mead, then plundered a coastal town.
twelvetales Did it detach or did it sprout limbs while attached, also why does this sound like something I've seen in a tv show?
It dragged me along behind it, with n'er a care for my safety
twelvetales Haha, this made my day.
your beard is weird
(points to anyone who got the reference)
heri can pronounce words so well for how fast he's saying them
That is because your singing voice is completely different from speaking. You might have noticed when some person from another country speaks english. It's terrible right? But when they sing it is completely different.
man could be a rapper
And there’s so much wordplay and alliteration, it’s genuinely impressive
Gotta love the alliteration
What an academic comment!
diegoangel77 There are also paired rhymes, cross rhymes even between stanzas, perfect symetrical interposed bises and non repetitive sequential bises.
2024????? This song never die to me
My headphones transformed into a helmet and my dog became a wolf. Now i ride him into battle.
+Crafty Coin My cat became a Viking Tiger. Don't count me out. I got swords and mead for the arm
+Geeky Metalhead army
I want what you're smoking.
that sounds like some amazing drugs
My coffee mug became Mead in a horn.
I found these guys a few years back while I was going through a really tough time. I was in Afghanistan, my best friend had just been killed. I was ready to bow my head in defeat. Being a heathen lost in a world where very few understand our even know about you can take its toll. When I found these guys, it was like life had just been pumped into an empty shell and I regained my will to continue the fight. Being a long time heathen I was more than happy to find them, now, they're almost all I listen to! So hail my friends, and hold your hammer high!
They definitely keep the warrior spirit true, as do you, my friend. *raising my shield with a mighty 'Urooooooooo uroooooo!' for ya!*
Most heathens were just farmers, fishermen and craftsmen who wanted little more than peace and enough to eat. That can't be without men to fight. I'm glad you survived your glory days and found your strength in the days of blood.
8 years later... are you ok? Did you reach help? -from a fellow army dog
What part of Afghanistan I was there in 2010 to 2011 and 2011 to 2012. MARJAH and TREK NAWA the Wikd Wild West.
Imperialist karma xd
I grew a full beard during this song.
HAHAHA xD
HAHAHA xD
+TheAlisig I grew a beard just by watching this song!
+TheAlisig
Me and my girlfriend listened to this, now we both have beards.....
Matthew Stephens My 1 year old daughter just grew a beard.
Heard this in middle school in 2018 and just rediscovered the song and band
By simply listening to this song I grew a braided beard and my keyboard turned into a battleaxe.
Then how are you typing?
@@klemmaofthedollars332 so your a keyboard warrior
UA-cam should have a volume button twice the size for this song only
hodehimehamehai!
Kamehameha?
I can't unhear it now.
oh I need an MRI
HellowVideos c mamo. 😂😂😂😂
Lol I'm glad I'm not the only one who heard it like that
First time I've Listened to TYR...WOW ! Hail Valhalla!
I'm honestly high as a kite right now, and this song is just giving me a hell of a good time!
im sober and this song is giving me a hell of a good time!
Forget about your nationality, everyone is Viking when this song is playing
I'm from Brazil and I love the viking culture ,I love this song.
Arianne Quintella oi
moça não precisa por uma foto tão bonita. agora me desconcentrou. essa beleza é fascinante demais pra eu encontrar num comentario no youtube do nada. agora não consigo parar de admirar sua beleza ;(
I am pagen and this is one of the best pagen bands I have found by odins name my ears thank yiu for this valhalla worthy song
Can't wait to see you next month in Cluj Napoca at rock the camp festival! 🤘🤘
Saw them today, when they played this song a group of us sat in the middle of the pit and started rowing. It was glorious.
We did that at Alestorm! Funniest thing ever!
Lmfao
That is awesome!!!
The first time I saw you guys it was my son took me to see another band we knew... I can say with a lot of proud that after listening to you guys, I became a fan.
I heard this song a bunch of times, but never saw the video of the desecration of the cross. Badass!!!!!!!! Keep the culture alive !!!
Proud to have Scandinavian ancestry! \m/
JustCallMeArabella I'll give you a Heil Óðinn for that. I too, am glad that my family is Scandinavian, and Nordic. Makes me feels so... So.... Badass.
Greetings from a Nord \m/
Hey man! fullsky97 glad to meet another. :D
JustCallMeArabella Hail Odin!
Spritzy_ If we have nordic family, it does not means that we are nordics...
***** you're a viking? so what did you pillage lately?
🤘 Hold that HEATHEN HAMMER high.
I. Cannot. Stop. Listening. To. This. Song. So. Addictingly. Good.
real music with meaning, nothing else matters. hail Odin
SKAL BROTHERS
THIS VALKYRIE ROCKS WITH YOU
*furious air guitar noises*
I'm catholic...and I love this song!!!!!
Me too
Eu também... ironicamente!
mee too
Me and my pastor at church both love Tyr. This song is some good shit.
You got a cool pastor!
pastor..church they couldnt be bigger hypocites, but good on them for still enjoying something good one step towards liberation!

Just because someone is religious, doesnt mean they cant enjoy music.
That's true
Warriors of the World motherfuckers!
I was never really fanatical about metal music until I heard this song by TYR. This is because I'm an aficionado of paganism particularly the Germanic and Norse mythologies. I'm of Iranian ancestry myself, and am proud to say that Zoroastrianism has age old links with these Ancient and highly cultured Teutonic practices.
MASTERPIECE!! Holding the the Heathen hammer high, from Brazil.
mais um br. br metaleiro raiz!
Just an average Faroese viking dude listening to my countrymen.
ah who am i kidding.. we arent average.
Danish not Faroese. Faroe Islands is Danes just like Greenland.
@@brothersandsistersofvalhalla Do you call Hanus G. and Eivør Pálsdóttir "DANISH" too?
What you call a man of the North doesnt matter. We are who we are regardless of name.
@@brothersandsistersofvalhalla How stupid can a man be? I'm Danish and the people of Faroe Islands are not Danish... They are Faroese. It's only political but the Faroese people are free to do what they want, as long as everyone is onboard and safe. Just by saying "Danish not Faroese. Faroe Islands is Danes just like Greenland." really tells me and everyone else how little you know so please stop talk about things you don't understand. As a Dane myself - The people of Faroe Island will always have me on their side. As long as the Faroese people are happy how it looks like in their country I'm happy. Under the flag of Denmark or not - I vote for the Faroese people.
Damn, I love this song.
Took me a few years to really appreciate this song.........................now I really appreciate it.
Celtic Blood flows through my Veins! Proud to be a Heathen!!
One of the greatest songs ever
Three young ladies from the Land of the Rising Sun dancing a viking metal song brought me here and now I can't stop listen this.
Proud pagan listening to excellent Viking metal!!!!!
One of the BEST bands I have the pleasure to listen to in my short life of 42 years. AWESOME!!! 👏👏🥇🥇🥇💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tyr is a great band and great music Viking Metal rules Miss Pol Arni Holm and hail to the hammer
I have a picture of a battle field filled with dead bodies and a man with a viking helmet standing victorious over the bodies holding high a Nazi flag.
As a man who is descended from the northern Germanic tribes, I feel this song in my bones.
This truely is the dogs. Fantastic group. Fantastic song. Viking metal says it all.
Yea hack down the liars cross!
+Der Wolf why is it a lairs cross?
+Aaron Gipson Truth
+Aaron Gipson well, that´s a BIG truth men.
+Jorge Martinez Your Bible claims us Norse Pagan as evil, many many Norse have been killed in the name of the Christian Cross
i c but not my bible lol
Viking metal, Goosebumps
Hold the heathen hammer high 🤘
I exposed my kids (2 and 4 years old) to this song, and now my boys are running around singing "hold the heathen hammer high" I am so proud. At least they don't swear, I actually find them pretty clean cut and their music makes my kids wanna dance and play the guitar. So why not? Metal just rules!!
Big ups from a young North American Pagan, glad the band named after my chief deity kicks ass, I was worried there might be harsh vocals. Praise Týr
My viking metal babies!!!!!!
I love Tyr because they're so proggy and still are a Folk/Viking metal band. Some of the drumming is insane.
Awesome song. Listen to it as often as I can
I just saw them live in Cleveland and when they played this it was just so amazing!
Norwegian here.
I never knew Elrond was in a band when younger!!! Nice!!
I'll never understand the UA-cam algorithms, but at least now I'm certain my enemies should be fleeing in fear.
I just found this song. Awesome melody it reminds me Dance of Death-Iron Maiden in some parts...
I may be Catholic, but I enjoy this song and have a respect and admiration to the Scandinavian culture. I'm not like the other zealous closed-minded Christians and I'm never religious to begin with. Hail to the heathen hammer, my Scandinavian friends. But regardless, let's enjoy heavy metal.
Amazing Times ! Ever !
When you from the hood but this be the type of shit you bump. My life
Hold your hammer high, Shield brother
Nice Bro, Nice
See you in the shield wall at Valhalla, Shield brother.
Head Assassin so you're saying your a black metal fan? Sorry lame joke
Head Assassin Respect
For some reason, I'm imagining them entering in a hospital shouting: All I need is a MRI.
Filipe Barroso lololol
You have made my day xD
You won the internet today, sir.
Hats off to you, Sir. 😄😄👏👏
Hats off to you Filipe, Sir. 😄😄👏👏🍻🍻
Best bachelor party ever!! This video’s budget was spent on the boat rental.
Just listened to this song to go to sleep. Goodnight y’all
Meet you Heathen brethren in Ragnarök.Good times yet to be had.
Songs like this make me proud to be Earth citizen. I doubt aliens can do this.
+Rafael Aragão eles podem fazer melhor :V
ainda duvido... mas se eu ouvir e for melhor, cm certeza eu me rendo =p
ou será desintegrado :v
+Rafael Aragão Aliens like metal Too... this is the song of the old gods
holy shit. u may right!
Can't get much better than viking power metal, that's for sure.
My favorite band!😍🤘🗡️🛡️Heri Joensen is my best friend and I love his voice and guitar playing with a passion. He's a cutie too. I love being a TYR fan and Patron for both the band and singer.
This would've been a good song to use when Ragnar Lothbrok invaded England in the Vikings
*level of hardcore intensifies*
Invaded England in the vikings?? In the vikings??
deathroman13 It's a tv serie
wow interesting No shit sherlock, I have watched it since season 1 but look at the retarded use of grammar.
You must be very new to the internet if you think that this was a serious enough grammatical error for you to comment on. Come on, be honest now. What is it? Boss yelled at you? Missus giving you a hard time? There's always a sad story behind a grammar nazi.
this song is more meaningful than my life
ADFX-01 -Nixon- agreed
I wonder if Vikings really rocked out on there longboats like that. I mean the hair, guitars, and drums. No wonder no one wanted to fuck with them.
Black Metal werewolf recommended this band, first time hearing them, brought a Tyr to my eye.
Dude I can't stop listening to this song it's awesome and rockin it
Just sitting here waiting this band to get the recognition they deserve
I have a true Heathen heart and i hold it high. Seek the our old gods, these dark times.
I typed in scottish metal. And found these guys. I feel more pride as a scott
They are from the Faroe Islands lol
Hail Æsir! Hail God of Gods, Lord of Lords, Hail Odin!
Warforged Warrior fuck the Aesir hail the Vanir 😅
this song makes me proud to be a faroese person
I hear this and want to throw my beer glass to the floor and demand ANOTHER!!!!
Like from Brazil
I can't believe this band came from an island that's just over 50,000 people.
well, 18 islands. We don't judge for not knowing though.
Okay so I just recently heard of this band. I am in awe for them. Hold your heathen hammer high! The chopping down of the cross sold me on this band. 🤘😊
SPINAL TAP!!
These guys are awesome. And they fucking rock live. Definitely one of my favorite metal bands.
Hail Tyr Hail Thor and Odin
this song should be the opening of VIKINGS series \m/
Tyr, powerwolf and Orden Ogan are the best things I’ve ever heard
When I find myself down I play this song, and with the gods now at my side I can conquer any ill
This is my first time hearing Viking Metal and this is amazing.
Since when did I have a beard?
+Stop wasting your time reading my name I make that anarchy emblem you have into a decal for coffee cups or cellphones. I also make a wall decal out of it too and sell them on ebay
Since when did I have a second beard?
My repeat button is getting a thrashing with this!
I conquered Europe while listening to this song!!!!
I love this song, I love the Vikings, and I love that this song makes me want to be a Viking. But can we all agree that most of us would run away screaming like a little girl if we saw a large human being charging towards us with a battle axe in one hand and blood lust in his/her eyes? I know I would.
All I'd see is a challenge waiting to die never give in to fear pagans offer a clean death and a good hymn to your valor
Yes.
that's why possession of a firearm is an important idea
112steinway
They can't, because they wouldn't survive.
MAYBE ME NOT... CAUSE I FEEL THE BLOOD OF A ROMAN LEGIONAIR INSIDE ME !!!
HAIL THE GREAT ROMAN EMPIRE !!!
REVENGE FOR THE THREE GHOST LEGIONS OF THEUTOBURG !!!
So manly it gave me a beard worthy of my norse ancestors
Altho mine cannot grow, my spirit beard has become worthy of valhalla.
I'm German (Which means we honor the same Gods as the Norse) & I have a seriously fuzzy fuckin' beard-which is weird since Germans aren't known to grow that much facial hair...lol
Heard this on WVUD, so whoever was the DJ, thank you.
Now this is what an art mean such a magnificent wow
For those people thinking religiously about this music: GIVE IT UP. It's music. You are supposed to listen to it. Who gives a flying fuck if this isn't your religion? I'm Christian, but I'm listening to this because I have a healthy respect/interest for other cultures. Besides, this is METAL. Since when has metal been religiously appealing, except for Red? Think about the material of Black Sabbath's songs. They sing about how it is nowhere near fun to go to Hell, but people missed the message completely. The Wizard? Not fun to go to Hell. Snowblind? Drugs. Music doesn't have to appeal to your religion for you to enjoy it. Cheech and Chong sing about and smoke weed. AND THEY'RE FAMOUS FOR IT.
Toa Elven I agree it doesn't HAVE to be religious. I'm Pagan, and yet i listen to Demon Hunter and Oh, Sleeper (both Christian). Sure, it's fine for someone to listen to this /without/ "thinking religiously" about it, but it's just as fine for someone to listen to this for (in whole or part) the religious meaning. This music /is/ essentially the Odinist equivalent of Red, or Demon Hunter, or Oh Sleeper.
Demon Hunter is badass.
kmmnderkoala You do know that Pagan is an old Roman insult for European people (particularly Germanic tribes) who lived inland right? I think the word your looking for is "Norse"!
James Burrell
I'am German and I don't know what a "Pagan" should be. It's not used in my language.
Toa Elven agreed
obligatory question: someone in 2020 listening ? ? :)
Obligatory answer: fuck yeah and can't wait for quarantine to be over so I can see these crazy bastards live!
I literally discovered this genre of music yesterday! Super cool
even in 2021!
