The TYR Vikings have completed their latest work under the glow of the North Star. On "By the Light of the Northern Star" the Faroese band delivers catchy yet technically brilliant tracks, and once again demonstrates how to impressively unite the contemporary present with the mythological past. Traditional homeland melodies, Viking choruses, and classic heavy metal
songs, such as "Hold the Heathen Hammer High" or even the title track, offer fans new and powerful hymns. Responsible for the brilliance of this "Northern Star" is once again frontman and mastermind Heri Joensen, who provides an undisputed goose bump factor with his clean and majestic vocals. "By the Light of the Northern Star" offers Viking Metal that only TYR can forge. Follow the North Star to Asgard!

So I heard Viking Metal was a genre of music and when I asked youtube to play me Viking Metal this was the first song that came up. I am not disappointed.
Bebedorra try ensiferum and managarm...there my current favorite folk metal bands...
You should try Amon Amarth as well....
Regarding "Viking metal" i think that's a genre that encompasses metal bands of all types that have a Viking theme. There are many bands from different types of genres that sing of Vikings: black metal, folk metal, heavy metal, power metal and etc.
You don't get more Viking than that.

I have the strangest urge to grab an axe, get on a longboat, and raid a monastery.
Want my number, so you can call me, when you guys set sail?
+Quinntus79 Go find a LARP game near you eg EMPIRE
www.profounddecisions.co.uk/empire
+Quinntus79 Count me in. I have my own battleaxe. . .
+Quinntus79 I don't know why, but "raid a monastery" made this really funny. Just being so specific made me laugh for some reason, I guess. :P
+Quinntus79 got room for one more on your longboat?
Heathen heart
Pagan pride
Faring far
Sword by Side
Tribal times
Northern nights
Hidden high
Runic rites I was told
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high with a battle cry
For the pagan past I live and one day will die
Hold the heathen hammer high, never turn away
Ever true unto your forefathers stalwart stay
Hold the Heathen Hammer high with a battle cry
For the pagan past I live and one day will die
Hold the heathen hammer high, never turn away
Down the wayward way so far faring strangers stray
Hold the heathen hammer high
Weather wild
Blackened blade
Angry eyes
Ruthless raid
Heathen heart
Pagan pride
Faring far
Sword by Side
hard and cold
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high with a battle cry
For the pagan past I live and one day will die
Hold the heathen hammer high, never turn away
Ever true unto your forefathers stalwart stay
Hold the Heathen Hammer high with a battle cry
For the pagan past I live and one day will die
Hold the heathen hammer high, never turn away
Down the wayward way so far faring strangers stray
Hold the heathen hammer high
From a pagan past that only the heathen hold
From the far end of the world and of times untold
I bring message to your mids of the ways of old
Ways reluctantly abandoned if truth be told
Ways abandoned for a scavenger of our souls
Living on malicious lies, hiding in the holes
Cruel and credible as any our tale of trolls
Hold the heathen hammer highest of all your goals
Hold the heathen hammer high with a battle cry
For the pagan past I live and one day will die
Hold the heathen hammer high, never turn away
Ever true unto your forefathers stalwart stay
Hold the Heathen Hammer high with a battle cry
For the pagan past I live and one day will die
Hold the heathen hammer high, never turn away
Down the wayward way so far faring strangers stray
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high
Hold the heathen hammer high
Heathen heart
Pagan pride
Farting far
Beans by Side
Those lyrics are VERY long.

I want what you're smoking.
that sounds like some amazing drugs
My coffee mug became Mead in a horn.
Alright brothers, I have flag ships ready to sail. Who wants to join me and battle for Odin and Valhalla?!?!?!

heri can pronounce words so well for how fast he's saying them
That is because your singing voice is completely different from speaking. You might have noticed when some person from another country speaks english. It's terrible right? But when they sing it is completely different.
man could be a rapper
And there’s so much wordplay and alliteration, it’s genuinely impressive
My wife, who doesn't like metal, makes me play this song all the time when we play tunes while drinking and I'm ok with it.
That's great to hear :) Cheers to both of you!
- Heri
I have to add that I absolutely enjoy what y'all do and introduced you to her a few years ago. Thank you for what you do.
My beard grew a beard.
My beard immediately started drinking mead, then plundered a coastal town.
twelvetales Did it detach or did it sprout limbs while attached, also why does this sound like something I've seen in a tv show?
It dragged me along behind it, with n'er a care for my safety
twelvetales Haha, this made my day.
your beard is weird
(points to anyone who got the reference)
I found these guys a few years back while I was going through a really tough time. I was in Afghanistan, my best friend had just been killed. I was ready to bow my head in defeat. Being a heathen lost in a world where very few understand our even know about you can take its toll. When I found these guys, it was like life had just been pumped into an empty shell and I regained my will to continue the fight. Being a long time heathen I was more than happy to find them, now, they're almost all I listen to! So hail my friends, and hold your hammer high!
They definitely keep the warrior spirit true, as do you, my friend. *raising my shield with a mighty 'Urooooooooo uroooooo!' for ya!*
Most heathens were just farmers, fishermen and craftsmen who wanted little more than peace and enough to eat. That can't be without men to fight. I'm glad you survived your glory days and found your strength in the days of blood.
8 years later... are you ok? Did you reach help? -from a fellow army dog
What part of Afghanistan I was there in 2010 to 2011 and 2011 to 2012. MARJAH and TREK NAWA the Wikd Wild West.
Imperialist karma xd
2024????? This song never die to me
First time I Heard this song, my biceps grew testicles; my testicles grew biceps 💪🏻
Hold up
I grew a full beard during this song.
HAHAHA xD
HAHAHA xD
+TheAlisig I grew a beard just by watching this song!
+TheAlisig
Me and my girlfriend listened to this, now we both have beards.....
Matthew Stephens My 1 year old daughter just grew a beard.
Saw them today, when they played this song a group of us sat in the middle of the pit and started rowing. It was glorious.
We did that at Alestorm! Funniest thing ever!
Lmfao
That is awesome!!!
Gotta love the alliteration
What an academic comment!
diegoangel77 There are also paired rhymes, cross rhymes even between stanzas, perfect symetrical interposed bises and non repetitive sequential bises.
When I go to Hel i'm gonna rock out with Baldr to this dank tune.
Hail to the old gods !
I'll meet you there.
No, Hel because I don't see myself dying in battle anytime soon.
Half those who die in battle go to Odin's hall of Valhalla and the other half go to Fólkvangr which belong to Freyja. Everyone else goes to Hel which is ruled by the goddess of the same name.
thats not 100% true brother. i am also a asatruer and there are more places than just hel or Valhalla. if you lived life pure and followed the 9 virtues youll go to another place cannot remmeber what its called but there you get to be with family and live life like you did before until ragnarok
hodehimehamehai!
Kamehameha?
I can't unhear it now.
oh I need an MRI
HellowVideos c mamo. 😂😂😂😂
Lol I'm glad I'm not the only one who heard it like that
First time I've Listened to TYR...WOW ! Hail Valhalla!
Songs like this make me proud to be Earth citizen. I doubt aliens can do this.
+Rafael Aragão eles podem fazer melhor :V
ainda duvido... mas se eu ouvir e for melhor, cm certeza eu me rendo =p
ou será desintegrado :v
+Rafael Aragão Aliens like metal Too... this is the song of the old gods
holy shit. u may right!
RUclips should have a volume button twice the size for this song only
By simply listening to this song I grew a braided beard and my keyboard turned into a battleaxe.
Then how are you typing?
@@klemmaofthedollars332 so your a keyboard warrior
Me and my pastor at church both love Tyr. This song is some good shit.
You got a cool pastor!
pastor..church they couldnt be bigger hypocites, but good on them for still enjoying something good one step towards liberation!

Just because someone is religious, doesnt mean they cant enjoy music.
That's true
Warriors of the World motherfuckers!
The first time I saw you guys it was my son took me to see another band we knew... I can say with a lot of proud that after listening to you guys, I became a fan.
I'm honestly high as a kite right now, and this song is just giving me a hell of a good time!
im sober and this song is giving me a hell of a good time!
I'm from Brazil and I love the viking culture ,I love this song.
Arianne Quintella oi
moça não precisa por uma foto tão bonita. agora me desconcentrou. essa beleza é fascinante demais pra eu encontrar num comentario no youtube do nada. agora não consigo parar de admirar sua beleza ;(
Proud to have Scandinavian ancestry! \m/
JustCallMeArabella I'll give you a Heil Óðinn for that. I too, am glad that my family is Scandinavian, and Nordic. Makes me feels so... So.... Badass.
Greetings from a Nord \m/
Hey man! fullsky97 glad to meet another. :D
JustCallMeArabella Hail Odin!
Spritzy_ If we have nordic family, it does not means that we are nordics...
***** you're a viking? so what did you pillage lately?
Heard this in middle school in 2018 and just rediscovered the song and band
One of the BEST bands I have the pleasure to listen to in my short life of 42 years. AWESOME!!! 👏👏🥇🥇🥇💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥
I. Cannot. Stop. Listening. To. This. Song. So. Addictingly. Good.
Yea hack down the liars cross!
+Der Wolf why is it a lairs cross?
+Aaron Gipson Truth
+Aaron Gipson well, that´s a BIG truth men.
+Jorge Martinez Your Bible claims us Norse Pagan as evil, many many Norse have been killed in the name of the Christian Cross
i c but not my bible lol
For some reason, I'm imagining them entering in a hospital shouting: All I need is a MRI.
Filipe Barroso lololol
You have made my day xD
You won the internet today, sir.
Hats off to you, Sir. 😄😄👏👏
Hats off to you Filipe, Sir. 😄😄👏👏🍻🍻
real music with meaning, nothing else matters. hail Odin
Awesome song. Listen to it as often as I can
I just saw them live in Cleveland and when they played this it was just so amazing!
MASTERPIECE!! Holding the the Heathen hammer high, from Brazil.
mais um br. br metaleiro raiz!
Just an average Faroese viking dude listening to my countrymen.
ah who am i kidding.. we arent average.
Danish not Faroese. Faroe Islands is Danes just like Greenland.
@@brothersandsistersofvalhalla Do you call Hanus G. and Eivør Pálsdóttir "DANISH" too?
What you call a man of the North doesnt matter. We are who we are regardless of name.
@@brothersandsistersofvalhalla How stupid can a man be? I'm Danish and the people of Faroe Islands are not Danish... They are Faroese. It's only political but the Faroese people are free to do what they want, as long as everyone is onboard and safe. Just by saying "Danish not Faroese. Faroe Islands is Danes just like Greenland." really tells me and everyone else how little you know so please stop talk about things you don't understand. As a Dane myself - The people of Faroe Island will always have me on their side. As long as the Faroese people are happy how it looks like in their country I'm happy. Under the flag of Denmark or not - I vote for the Faroese people.
One of the greatest songs ever
Tyr is a great band and great music Viking Metal rules Miss Pol Arni Holm and hail to the hammer
I have a picture of a battle field filled with dead bodies and a man with a viking helmet standing victorious over the bodies holding high a Nazi flag.
Listen to this once, it will be stuck in your head all day. guaranteed. Such great riffs.
🤘 Hold that HEATHEN HAMMER high.
Big ups from a young North American Pagan, glad the band named after my chief deity kicks ass, I was worried there might be harsh vocals. Praise Týr
Forget about your nationality, everyone is Viking when this song is playing
Okay so I just recently heard of this band. I am in awe for them. Hold your heathen hammer high! The chopping down of the cross sold me on this band. 🤘😊
Damn, I love this song.
When you from the hood but this be the type of shit you bump. My life
Hold your hammer high, Shield brother
Nice Bro, Nice
See you in the shield wall at Valhalla, Shield brother.
Head Assassin so you're saying your a black metal fan? Sorry lame joke
Head Assassin Respect
These guys are great live, I got to see them in 09 with Alestorm and even though it was a smaller venue they made it seem huge and really brought a great energy with their performance. I really hope they do another big tour sometime soon, I'll bring the mead!
these songs are simply and simply great!
obligatory question: someone in 2020 listening ? ? :)
Obligatory answer: fuck yeah and can't wait for quarantine to be over so I can see these crazy bastards live!
I literally discovered this genre of music yesterday! Super cool
even in 2021!
@@thrasherdave1428 yikes, they split
@@olaf6768 Oh shit
I'll never understand the RUclips algorithms, but at least now I'm certain my enemies should be fleeing in fear.
Awesome band.. Love the song and video
My favorite band!😍🤘🗡️🛡️Heri Joensen is my best friend and I love his voice and guitar playing with a passion. He's a cutie too. I love being a TYR fan and Patron for both the band and singer.
Dude I can't stop listening to this song it's awesome and rockin it
this song is more meaningful than my life
ADFX-01 -Nixon- agreed
TYR je proste hudba na znovu vskriesenie zivota a smutneho srdca.Clovek dostava silu na vsetkoooo
Very good and super video!!!🤘
I love this song, I love the Vikings, and I love that this song makes me want to be a Viking. But can we all agree that most of us would run away screaming like a little girl if we saw a large human being charging towards us with a battle axe in one hand and blood lust in his/her eyes? I know I would.
All I'd see is a challenge waiting to die never give in to fear pagans offer a clean death and a good hymn to your valor
Yes.
that's why possession of a firearm is an important idea

They can't, because they wouldn't survive.
MAYBE ME NOT... CAUSE I FEEL THE BLOOD OF A ROMAN LEGIONAIR INSIDE ME !!!
HAIL THE GREAT ROMAN EMPIRE !!!
REVENGE FOR THE THREE GHOST LEGIONS OF THEUTOBURG !!!
I'm catholic...and I love this song!!!!!
Me too
Eu também... ironicamente!
mee too
These guys are awesome. And they fucking rock live. Definitely one of my favorite metal bands.
This warms my heathen heart. So bad ass. Love this band so much.
This truely is the dogs. Fantastic group. Fantastic song. Viking metal says it all.
Aint it special how it keeps raining but they never get soaked?
apart from that bit where they are wading in the sea =) @3:00
wautur their music is so fire that it's keeping them dry
wautur it's a Faroese superpower
wautur Thor has em covered
all of the assfucking is creating so much friction it set the party ablaze they are all dead today
Took me a few years to really appreciate this song.........................now I really appreciate it.
Never gets old. Rocked this song at the Icelandic Festical in Gimli, Manitoba in 2012. Listened to it during the battle reenactment and my life was then complete.
This would've been a good song to use when Ragnar Lothbrok invaded England in the Vikings
*level of hardcore intensifies*
Invaded England in the vikings?? In the vikings??
deathroman13 It's a tv serie
wow interesting No shit sherlock, I have watched it since season 1 but look at the retarded use of grammar.
You must be very new to the internet if you think that this was a serious enough grammatical error for you to comment on. Come on, be honest now. What is it? Boss yelled at you? Missus giving you a hard time? There's always a sad story behind a grammar nazi.
As a man who is descended from the northern Germanic tribes, I feel this song in my bones.
Loving this!! Finally it's bout time I found your wonderful work. Thanks and Skal
Listened this song once and now it’s going round in my head “Hold The Heathen Hammer High”
I just found this song. Awesome melody it reminds me Dance of Death-Iron Maiden in some parts...
Viking metal, Goosebumps
Where have you been all my life? How am I just finding about this awesomeness just now? Love it!
Celtic Blood flows through my Veins! Proud to be a Heathen!!
This is my first time hearing Viking Metal and this is amazing.
Amo esses caras ❤ 0 defeitos

One of my favorite songs ever.
Nice memories! Nice vibrations
I can't believe this band came from an island that's just over 50,000 people.
well, 18 islands. We don't judge for not knowing though.
Meet you Heathen brethren in Ragnarök.Good times yet to be had.
brilliant band, great music
I am pagen and this is one of the best pagen bands I have found by odins name my ears thank yiu for this valhalla worthy song
Super muzika :)
Que som foda! Viking metal na veia!

Just can't stop listening to this song.
Three young ladies from the Land of the Rising Sun dancing a viking metal song brought me here and now I can't stop listen this.
3:27 the CROSS WILL DIE!
Songs like this make me proud to be European.
+Rum Runner Norse Pagan Bruder!!
+Rum Runner who likes playing mount and blade warband while listening to this?
Paruyr Arabadjyan Sorry friend, I don't know that game. I do enjoy this in the gym though : )
Rum Runner
yep, hey how much do you lift in gym, even though its not my buisness.
Paruyr Arabadjyan No problem asking. I've been going for about almost 5 years but only about 2 of those were serious lifting. I usually do a 3 day split, training 6 days a week plus some cardio. I don't think my lifting numbers are very good but I can at least say that in my gym of about 200 members, 50 or so regulars, I am in the top 10%. Do you lift?
This song puts me in such a primeval trance its amazing
So good music!I`d it long time in my car,but first time watchin video.The Great song!
Since when did I have a beard?
+Stop wasting your time reading my name I make that anarchy emblem you have into a decal for coffee cups or cellphones. I also make a wall decal out of it too and sell them on ebay
Since when did I have a second beard?
Just sitting here waiting this band to get the recognition they deserve
I can’t like this song enough!! I absolutely love this song!!!! :)
Just outstanding
For those people thinking religiously about this music: GIVE IT UP. It's music. You are supposed to listen to it. Who gives a flying fuck if this isn't your religion? I'm Christian, but I'm listening to this because I have a healthy respect/interest for other cultures. Besides, this is METAL. Since when has metal been religiously appealing, except for Red? Think about the material of Black Sabbath's songs. They sing about how it is nowhere near fun to go to Hell, but people missed the message completely. The Wizard? Not fun to go to Hell. Snowblind? Drugs. Music doesn't have to appeal to your religion for you to enjoy it. Cheech and Chong sing about and smoke weed. AND THEY'RE FAMOUS FOR IT.
Toa Elven I agree it doesn't HAVE to be religious. I'm Pagan, and yet i listen to Demon Hunter and Oh, Sleeper (both Christian). Sure, it's fine for someone to listen to this /without/ "thinking religiously" about it, but it's just as fine for someone to listen to this for (in whole or part) the religious meaning. This music /is/ essentially the Odinist equivalent of Red, or Demon Hunter, or Oh Sleeper.
Demon Hunter is badass.
kmmnderkoala You do know that Pagan is an old Roman insult for European people (particularly Germanic tribes) who lived inland right? I think the word your looking for is "Norse"!
James Burrell
I'am German and I don't know what a "Pagan" should be. It's not used in my language.
Toa Elven agreed
this song makes me proud to be a faroese person
I hear this and want to throw my beer glass to the floor and demand ANOTHER!!!!
Awesome sound
So manly it gave me a beard worthy of my norse ancestors
Altho mine cannot grow, my spirit beard has become worthy of valhalla.
I'm German (Which means we honor the same Gods as the Norse) & I have a seriously fuzzy fuckin' beard-which is weird since Germans aren't known to grow that much facial hair...lol
Hail Æsir! Hail God of Gods, Lord of Lords, Hail Odin!
Warforged Warrior fuck the Aesir hail the Vanir 😅
Can´t stop listening this, pure gold. lmL
They sound so good!
I'm not here for gods, old or new. I'm just here for the Metal \m/
