Die Färinger TÝR haben als Vorgeschmack auf das neue Album „Hel“ ein weiteres Video veröffentlicht. „Ragnars Kvæði“ lautet der Titel des Songs, dessen Handlung sich um einen gewissen Ragnar Loðbrók dreht.
Frontmann Heri Joensen zu dem Song: „Ragnars Kvæði is a traditional Faroese ballad about Ragnar Loðbrók, the legendary king of Denmark during the seventh century. This melody was preserved on a very old recording in the Faroese from sometime around the middle of the 1900s, and the text in some Faroese manuscripts from the mid 1800s. The original ballad is very long, over 100 verses. Here we have only three verses, taken from the part about where Ragnar meets Aslaug. This part is a migratory legend with parallels in many cultures around the world. I thought this ballad was really worth something, so my first thought was to make a Heavy Metal version of it for Týr. Terji plays the solo on the album version, but Attila made a new solo for this version, since he would be playing in the video, and well done indeed! Thanks to all who participated in the hard work of making this video. We hope you enjoy it!“
