Týr interview - Heri & Kári 08 Jan 10

"Heathen heart. Pagan pride. Faring far. Sword by Side." The
opening lines from "Hold The Heathen Hammer High" on Týr's By The
Light of the Northern Star album...the band's finest release thus
far. According to Heri, wait until we here the next one! While
BTLOTNS is Týr at their best, each album is better than the
previous release. So what does the future hold for Týr? We can
expect more of what we have come to love from the band...their
brand of Progressive Viking Folk Metal. While a dvd release is not
imminent, frontman Heri is releasing a solo album which should hold
over fans until the next Týr album in 2011, even if it will be a
different style of Metal. Now if only we could convince Kári to
release a solo album.

Myself and Assistant Metal Director/Turn It Up host Jim Alvino
joined Týr members Heri Joensen (vocals/guitar) and Kári Streymoy
(drums) on the band's tour bus before their show as direct support
for Korpiklaani in Worcester, MA.
