Press release courtesy of Metal Blade Records
TÝR will be streaming their brand new album, "Valkyrja," exclusively via metalblade.com/tyr all weekend! The album can be heard in its entirety beginning on Friday, September 13th, through Monday, September 16th. Fans: this is your chance to hear previously unreleased tracks, including "The Lay of Our Love," which features Leaves' Eyes vocalist Liv Kristine. Plus, TÝR's covers of Iron Maiden's "Where Eagles Dare" and Pantera's "Cemetary Gate," which about.com called "downright amazing, faithfully capturing the emotional essence of the original." Additionally, George Kollias was enlisted to handle drum recording duties on "Valkyrja." In terms of what the band hopes fans take away from the album, bassist Gunnar H. Thomsen states "I hope they will enjoy it and they like the new direction as well as (guitarist) Terji's bigger involvement in writing and George's drumming. We had a more upbeat direction without changing TÝR's style."
TÝR performed live on August 10th as part of the Faroe Island's Summarfestivalurin in Klaksvik. Over 8,000 Faroese were in attendance as the band put on a huge set featuring old favorites, as well as new tracks, including "Blood of Heroes." The event was filmed and a video for "Blood of Heroes" can be seen now at youtube.com.
Valkyrja, the seventh full-length album from TÝR, will be released next week in North America. Limited edition pre-order bundles are still available that include: TÝR rune pendants, t-shirt, vinyl, and digipak CD.
