Faroe Islands-based Viking metallers TÝR unveil their newest single, “Dragons By no means Die.” The monitor comes by means of the band’s gorgeous ninth full-length studio album, Battle Ballads, set for launch on April twelfth through Metallic Blade Information!
As soon as topped, “highly effective, heroic and memorable,” by New Noise and lauded by Exclaim for, “expertly balancing energy and dying metallic” and perfecting, “the Viking metallic method,” with Battle Ballads, TÝR has crafted an album that resounds with their trademark Viking metallic sound — a crushing, hovering, batch of classical embellished songs that conjure photographs of galloping steeds, clashing swords, and hard-fought victories. On the similar time, the band has experimented with new writing types and musical methods and created songs which might be structurally less complicated, but musically extra variegated. For founding frontman Heri Joensen, it’s a transparent illustration of how he plans to proceed exploring completely different approaches sooner or later whereas staying true to the spirit of thunderous Viking metallic.
“We consciously determined to make this a extra direct album with songs which might be simpler for listeners to get instantly than among the stuff on our final album, or possibly even on our 2006 album Ragnarok, which was very progressive,” says Joensen. “With Battle Ballads, there are progressive components right here and there, however we tried to maintain the songs primarily based on one or two musical concepts every, and work on all the things from there. So, in a method, it’s extra concise than our final album, but it surely’s extra epic due to the symphonic components.”
There’s no escaping the masterfully meticulous mix of melody and savagery on Battle Ballads. Notes Joensen of the band’s “Dragons By no means Die” single, “The track begins with a protracted harmonic crescendo on drums and guitar harking back to classical Deep Purple, then shifts an jap impressed melodic journey again in time with wordless singalong components, going right into a rhythmically easy and stomping verse a couple of gold-grabbing dragon and a protagonist set on defeating it. It’s a quick and riveting refrain. The metallic story progresses and culminates right into a face melting solo. With the final refrain, the protagonist finds that changing into wealthy past measure simply makes him the following dragon.”

As a lot as TÝR would have favored to jot down, rehearse, and report with a symphony, scheduling conflicts made it unimaginable. So that they did the following neatest thing. Joensen despatched the band’s ten thunderous compositions to a Danish colleague, Lars Winther, in England, who added the orchestral samples, paying shut consideration to the tone and tempo of the songs so the violins, violas, cellos, woodwinds, and horns complimented the standard rock devices. When the samples have been all in place, the album sounded spectacular, however the tones weren’t completely blended. So, TÝR despatched the album to veteran producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, The Black Dahlia Homicide, Amaranthe) in Denmark to place collectively the ultimate combine.
