As we move ever closer to the release of ‘Vanagandr’, Thyrfing’s first album in eight years, the fantastic reaction to the band’s two previous singles (‘Döp dem i eld’ and ‘Jordafärd’) proved that the metal world is more than ready for the return of Swedish Viking/Pagan metal legends Thyrfing. And so third single ‘Järnhand’ (which translate as ‘Iron Hand’) showcases a more familiar side to Thyrfing unique brand of metal. Commanding and melodic in equal measure, it boasts a dynamic power, switching between blast beat and groove at will with swirling folk elements that Thyrfing are the masters of. The single will be accompanied by an epic music video directed by Patric Ullaeus of rEvolver (Dimmu Borgir, Arch Enemy, Europe).
The band comments: "Another single track, and I think it holds many of the typical Thyrfing elements from later years. Having both grit and guts, but also melody and mood. Could probably have fitted in quite well on the ”Farsotstider” album back in 2005. The lyrics is about perfection of power and the urge to cling to it at any cost."
MORE ON THYRFING…
Thyrfing emerged from the ever-growing underground scene in Sweden back in 1995. After seven full-length albums and numerous live performances all over the world, the band have gained a strong following over the years and an exquisite standing within the metal scene. They are considered one of the top bands within the so-called Viking/pagan metal genre – but in reality, Thyrfing are so much more with their truly outstanding and self-contained musical offerings.
The name of the band is taken from the sword “Tyrfing” in Norse mythology – a cursed blade that appears in several tales and myths. Ever since the start, the mythology has played a huge part in the scenery and imagery of the band’s music and lyrics, something which is still intact in 2021.
Despite there being no new studio recordings since 2013’s acclaimed ‘De ödeslösa’, Sweden’s Thyrfing have remained active on the tour circuit with appearances at the likes of Wacken Open Air, Summer Breeze and Sweden Rock Festival, amongst many other shows. The lure of creating new music always remained however, and starting back in 2015, plans were made for what would become ‘Vanagandr’, the band’s eighth release.
‘Vanagandr’ was co-recorded and co-produced by Jakob Herrmann (In Flames, Machine Head, Evergrey) at Top Floor Studios, Gothenburg, with the renowned Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, U.D.O., Katatonia) looking after the mix and mastering. The art concept for Vanagandr’ was executed perfectly by Niklas Sundin of Cabin Fever Media (ex-Dark Tranquillity) who reconnects with the band once again (he also did the ”Vansinnesvisor” album back in 2002).
