TYR: Corpus Christi

Týr is a Faroese folk metal band. Their subject matter revolves almost entirely around Viking lore, mythology, and history, taking their name from Týr, the god of law and justice in Norse religion. They signed a worldwide deal with Austria's Napalm Records in early 2006, while signed to the Faroese record label Tutl. In September 2012, they signed a three-album deal with Metal Blade Records. Before Týr, Heri Joensen and Gunnar H. Thomsen formed their first band; Cruiser, at the age of seventeen.
