Einherjer

Einherjer is a Norwegian band that has made a significant mark in the Viking metal scene since their formation in 1993. Named after the Einherjar, the mighty warriors of Norse mythology who have died in battle and are brought to Valhalla by Valkyries, the band's music is heavily inspired by their Norse heritage. Founding members Frode Glesnes and Gerhard Storesund set the tone for the group with a blend of black metal and traditional folk melodies, creating a distinctive and epic soundscape that honors Viking history and mythology.

Over the years, Einherjer has produced a substantial discography, continually harnessing the essence of Northern myths and sagas. "North Star," their 2021 album, is a testament to their continuous evolution and ability to craft thematic and powerful music. The achievement of their sound is further showcased in the live recording "Norse and Dangerous (Live... From the Land of Legends)," where fans can experience the full force of Einherjer's live performances. With classical releases like "Dragons of the North" which was revisited in "Dragons of the North XX" for its 20th anniversary, Einherjer has proven their staying power and commitment to exploring Nordic themes and stories, inviting listeners on a journey through the legends of yore. Their contribution to Viking metal is immeasurable, and they continue to be guardians of the genre, spreading tales of valor and ancient battles through their mighty and immersive music.
