Týr是一支来自法罗群岛的乐队,将重金属和民谣金属融合一体,并带有强烈的前卫金属特点。他们的作品的主题几乎都围绕北欧古老的传说、神话和历史。2006年初,他们和奥地利的Napalm Records签约。乐队参加了2007年和2008年德国Ragnarök音乐节
乐队成立于1998年1月。乐队的名称来源于北欧神话中的提尔。现任乐队成员包括主唱和吉他手海里·约恩森(Heri Joensen)、吉他手泰依·西本纳斯(Terji Skibenæs)、贝斯手贡纳尔·H·汤姆森(Gunnar H. Thomsen)。
Progressive folk/Viking metal band Týr formed in 1998 in Denmark around the talents of Heri Joensen, Kári Streymoy, and Gunnar H. Thomsen. Joensen's brother Jón and singer Pól Arni Holm joined the group for its 2002 debut, How Far to Asgaard, but left soon after. New guitarist Terji Skibenæs replaced Jón and Streymoy's brother Allan took over vocal duties on the single Ólavur Riddararós. After Allan's departure, Heri took over lead vocal duties and the band began work on its breakthrough song cycle, Eric the Red. Inspired heavily by Norse mythology (the group is named after a Norse god of war), Eric the Red was originally released in 2003 on the regional Tutl label, but found international success when it was reissued by European giant Napalm. The blistering Ragnarok arrived in 2006, followed by Land in 2008, both of which helped earn the group more praise both locally and internationally for its complex arrangements and keen ear for traditional-infused melody. Based in the Faroes, a group of islands between Iceland and Norway that has been an autonomous region of the Kingdom of Denmark since 1948, Týr continue to record and perform in both English and in their native Faroese language.
