One of the biggest and most famous metal acts from the Faroe Islands is back in battle. We're talking about Tyr, who are releasing Battle Ballads, the long-awaited follow-up to their last album to date, Hel, from 2019.

Battle Ballads will be released in April 2024 and frontman Heri Joensen explains the title of the album as follows: There are definitely two versions of a ballad, A lot of people think of hair metal, when they think of ballads. We are looking at ballads here in the Medieval sense. Apart from a couple of softer parts on the album, this is very much straight heavy metal with some folk and classical influences. I’m not sure what exactly one would call it – power metal, Viking metal, folk metal. It still fits in very much with what we do, only it feels bigger and more like these big soundscapes.
