| Týr is a progressive viking metal band from the Faroe Islands in Denmark. Their lyrics are about Norse mythology, paganism and faeroese/nordic lore. Their style is very much love it or hate it, but I sure do love it  The band formed in January 1998 by Faroe Islanders living in Copenhagen (at the time). Týr had their Faroese breakthrough in April 2001 when they participated in the Prix Fřroyar contest. "Ormurin Langi" was the greatest Faroese hit ever in the Faroes. Early 2002, the same song hit bigtime in Iceland and paved the way for Týr's popularity there. Týr is the Germanic God of courage, strength, justice, victory, defense, and battle. He sacrifices his hand to Fenris in order to bind him. Týr will perish at Ragnarok when he fights the wolf-hound, Garm, who in turn perishes at Týr's hand. The god Týr was originally known as Tiwaz. The T-rune, which is named after him, symbolizes fighting for truth and one's beliefs, as well as standing for dedication and valour in combat.

| I received my copy of "Land" yesterday  , with the poster (crappy one  ) i'll listen to it tonight, i'll try to post a review tomorrow. Teasing: the first single, Skinlars Visa is awesome, totally Týr style. (It was included in the Napalm Records promo CD) _________________  |

| I already listened to the leaked promo some time ago, great album! My favorite track is probably Gátu Ríma. And I agree about the intro, it's magnificent and immediately sets the mood.. I'm buying it soon  _________________  |
