Valkyrja, the seventh full-length album from the Faroe Islands natives, TÝR, will be released on September 17th in North America, and September 13th/16th in Europe/UK. Fans can now view a small glimpse of the creative process behind Valkyrja while at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark with producer Jacob Hansen. The video features some of George Kollias’s drum tracking, as well as vocal tracking, and can be viewed now at Metal Blade Records.

The opening track to the album, “Blood of Heroes,” is streaming now at Metal Blade Records, where Valkyrja is also available for pre-order. Limited edition pre-order bundles are available that include Týr rune pendants, t-shirt, vinyl LP, and the CD.
TÝR is happy to announce that Amon Ellingsgaard will be drumming for the band on their European tour with Finntrol. Amon is currently drummer for Heri Joensen’s side project, Heljareyga. Many fans may already be familiar with Amon, who is also the nephew of former drummer Kari Streymoy, as he has filled in for TÝR before on the first Paganfest in 2008.
TÝR will be on tour September – October with Finntroll in Europe.
