06: Týr - Fields Of The Fallen

[Sectoidzor]

In swedish he is called Tyr and its pronounced.... Tyr.

[DCosmark]

Anyone from scandinavia is descended from Vikings and that is Denmark Norway and Sweden :) And we are each proud of it

[sm05081735]

@DCosmark Fuckin' right



[Zdraloviocnjaci95]

[blackspiraldancer6]

[Zdraloviocnjaci95]

@blackspiraldancer6 agreed . :D

[pyramidehead666]

im in love with this song :D

[Upsilon667]

Anyone know who plays the solo fills (before each of the verses) and the solo itself in this? I think it's Terji for all of them but I'm not sure...thanks in advance!

[FrederikBosch]

Denmark and the Faroese has a bond, that Norway nor Sweden has. And im proud of my country and of my brothers on Færørene!

[bunbury1992]

[994sven]

meh, this is good album, but not as good as ragnarok or by the light of the northern star

something different is about them, different sound

[Extremefunworld]

Totally favorite song now!

[OminousParadox]

@57Aje You're right, but I think that Thor is better portrayed as blonde, IMO.

[Tjalfi999]

How can I listen to this and cry and then watch Saving Private Ryan and laugh when the guy accidentally blows himself up?

[MrFrEaKyScOpE]

OK WHO THE FUK DISLIKED THIS!?!?!?!?

[MrFrEaKyScOpE]

OK WHO THE FUK DISLIKED THIS!?!?!?!?

[Frostslayer3]

For the sons of Skyrim! Ooops... I mean For the sons of Asgard!

[EdikShepherd]

@Frostslayer3 They're all in the same! :D

[metalguitarZomg2]

i love this band, and even though i am from Australia, i believe in norse, greek, egyptian, sumerian and mayan mythologies, i believe they are all connected in the fact that instead of gods, they are aliens, and instead of heaven or hell, its earth and space, aswell as a possible hollow earth, which based on my research seems to be the actual location of asgard, valhalla which seems to support all of said mythologies 'stories' and legends

[metalguitarZomg2]

@metalguitarZomg2 i actually meant to say earth then space, insinuating that earth is hell and that space (i.e the ability to space travel, colonize other planets, have access to that information, technology, mystery is heaven)

[EdikShepherd]

@metalguitarZomg2 I personally love the hell out of that theory, but just out of preference, I still worship the North Gods :)

Keep up with your awesome beliefs bro, and don't let anyone alienate you for them!

[metalguitarZomg2]

@EdikShepherd surprisingly i've found quite alot of factual evidence supporting my earlier comment :)

[EdikShepherd]

@metalguitarZomg2 I know, I've found a lot of evidence for it myself. And that's exactly why it's my second favorite belief next to Asatru

[metalguitarZomg2]

@EdikShepherd im not all that familiar with asatru, what are their beliefs / proofs?

[metalguitarZomg2]

@EdikShepherd you can pm me your answer if you like, this chat has character limit, if you have as much evidence as i do then you'll probably need more typing space

[BerserkeRCry]

My next pay check I'ma buy all of Týr's cds and listen to them all one after another!!!!

\m/-_-\m/ HAIL! Týr!

[NeoCat1993]

Why does Týr handle to make that many epic intros?

[atmawpn89]

If I were to go to one of their concerts I would just sit down and listen in amazement

LONG LIVE TYR

[77asgaard]

it's good to see that the nordic believers are'nt allways thrown into the right wing nazi-shit! mjöllnir is beside us, see u in valhall!

[BerserkeRCry]

@77asgaard As to you brother, FOR ASGARD!!

>_< \m/

[BerserkeRCry]

[hakunchr]

it's not Tyr but Týr i am a faroese so i know that :) :D

[EdikShepherd]

@hakunchr The Faroese pronounce it like Twear, right?

[ViveLEmperur]

@EdikShepherd

it's more like tour. but with a roll of the tongue.

[EdikShepherd]

@ViveLEmperur Aaaah, I got it. That actually makes a lot more sense. Thanks man ^^

[MotiCompleto008]

@hakunchr what language do they sing in when not english? faroese, norwegian or another skandinavian language? I've gotten different answers each time, none by a faroese person

[NomoTheDomo]

@MotiCompleto008 Faroese mostly, but they do use other fragments of other languages when Faroese doesn't have the right word. At least that's what I understand to be the truth. I believe I'm pretty spot on.

[vertyy]

@MotiCompleto008 Most of their songs are in English. 2nd are the Faroese songs. They have three songs in Old Danish language: "Konning Hans", Ramund hin Unge and Sinklars Visa. In the song Brennivín the chorus is sung in Icelandic language.

I know this 100% because I am Faroese myself!

[MotiCompleto008]

@vertyy Thanks man

[NederGamerz]

@hakunchr so... What does TÝR mean?

[diekje10]

@NederGamerz It is.. if i'm correct, the god of war in norse myths

[hakunchr]

@NederGamerz TÝR is a animal Týr is Bull :)

[OiSkinnHead69]

@hakunchr Doesn't work on "English" keyboards.

[blackspiraldancer6]

@hakunchr how is it pronounced? tear, as in tear drop? or tear, as in tear apart? ive always said the former. or is it tire?

[MrLolcatsXD]

@blackspiraldancer6 as in tear drop

[SirDavisT]

@blackspiraldancer6 /watch?v=5ATwUtNA4_c

[lmegadeath047l]

@blackspiraldancer6 i'm not sure but i think its like (tier) i think it's a folk metal band from the faroe islands. someone correct me if i'm wrong.

[animerocks707]

@lmegadeath047l The band pronounces it like (twear)

[ShittyGarfunk]

@blackspiraldancer6 /watch?v=5ATwUtNA4_c

[fogo18fogo]

Hail from Brazil!

[Slank141ify]

sry for my english :D

[metallord1972]

dunno bout ne else but to me this song has one of the most addictive and uplifting choruses i ever heard , awesome stuff

tyr nailed the perfect chorus , and such a joy to hear

[SerChade]

HAIL, MY BROTHERS!

[cilibinarii]

@SerChade hai bro.

[Fodn1]

The guitar solo in this song is simply legendary.

[FreyjasFighter]

@Fodn1 So is the introduction ;D xxx

[KarolineSadowski]

Ugh, the monster in the cover art is looking at me.

[grundin3]

for does how dislike stoff if you dont like it dont lisent to it

[FolkMetalPiper]

yes!! Holy shit this is a good song!!!

[finalfantasy99999999]

what kind of creature did the warrior kill that be bugging me?( plus the best fucking band i heard so far)

[SAOS451316]

@finalfantasy99999999 The warrior is Þór (Thor) and the creature is the giant Þrymr (Thrym). In Þrymskviða (The Lay of Thrym), Þór's hammer Mjölnir is stolen by Þrymr, so Þór dresses up as a bride-to-be, goes to Jotunheim with Loki, and pretends to want to marry Þrymr. He convinces the giant to let him hold Mjölnir, and then proceeds to smash the heads of every giant in the room.

[FolkMetalPiper]

Im almost angry at how good this is.. because I picked up the new Primordial album today and Alestorms new one. And I wont be listening to them for a couple days. Holy shit, this album is so good!

[mRjAcKmAn95]

Its is obviously unknown what colour hair Thor has.

He is my god and i do not question his hair.

[berserkur19]

@mRjAcKmAn95 Thor was often portrayed with red hair

[mRjAcKmAn95]

@berserkur19 yes i know but people keep arguing about it, and its quite bothersome...

[berserkur19]

@mRjAcKmAn95 Yeah I agree, but why be bothered by something which isn´t real? There are no gods, even Heri (the singer from Týr who writes all the lyrics) says that

[bigpileofcrock]

@berserkur19 Actually (if we're going to bring up the facts) Heri has stated in interview that he's a pantheist, and refers to himself as pagan, albeit rather agnostically. At any rate, I *do* believe in them, but still find the argument childish. Yes, common portrayal in old art and literature is with red hair, but when we start getting stuck on little details, we fall into the same trap as a the Abrahamics with their Torah/Bible/Quran, thinking myth is divine writ (it isn't).

[berserkur19]

@bigpileofcrock I wasn´t arguing, I was only saying that he was often portrayed with red hair, I didn´t claim that he had red hair.

I don´t know if heri has become a pantheist, but I once met him in town at night, a bit drunk, and then he said that was an atheist. I know that it sounds a bit hard to believe that I just met him like that, but The Faroe Islands are a small place.

[smashbar333]

@berserkur19 some people choose to take up the "pagan hammer" because of culture(me included) and some decide to do it because it is interesting... just because he said he was an atheist the basic relligious ideas remain you know.

[berserkur19]

@smashbar333 Yes I know and I am not arguing against that at all, I wear a hammer myself to show that I have nordic heritage, just like Heri.

[FolkMetalPiper]

@berserkur19 I wear it because I like to.. Im Canadian with German background... should I not wear a symbol of something that I am so interested in?

[berserkur19]

@FolkMetalPiper Ofcourse you should, I never claimed that you shouldn´t.

[KarolineSadowski]

@FolkMetalPiper The Germans weren't really vikings. The vikings were Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, SOME finnish. They went to many places, like England and Faraoe and settled, but the Germans were .. Germans.

[FolkMetalPiper]

@KarolineSadowski Yes, i know this.. im not stupid. What were you replying to anyway?? This song has nothing to do with Shadow Of The Swastica...

[TheGloryOfWar]

@KarolineSadowski i know... but Germans are as good as Vikings! :D Erinnert euch an Herman und andere!Wir stehen den Wikingern (bis auf die Seefahrt :D) in nichts nach!

I'm from germany :D

[Astrowater]

@TheGloryOfWar

Uhh, Deutschland ist schoen, aber Wikings > Deutsche...Leid. :P

Wir wissen dass du bist Deutsch. ; )

[metallifreak77]

@KarolineSadowski Don't forget Norway! Norway unleashed some of the most famous Vikings in the initial Viking Age!

[MWizH]

@metallifreak77 Swedes were better.

[Bernieo153]

@KarolineSadowski Its spelled Faroe ;)

[Slank141ify]

@KarolineSadowski Yes,right. But in the north of Germany(where I live),there were vikings too !the biggest City of the vikings Haithabu is about 10 km from me ! SO my grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-­grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-­grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-­grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-­grand-grand-grand-grand-grand father so don't they the germans (a part of the germany after german - danish war 1864) weren't vikings at all ;)

[mRjAcKmAn95]

@berserkur19 thats like saying jesus isnt real. and ya know what? he isnt real. its all just a matter a what you choose to believe. i believe in norse mythology because it actually makes sense and has meaning. Plus it is considered the PRE christian faith. So according to time it comes into play before christ. (so those of you who think MARVEL created thor... you are silly.) I also choose to believe in the gods because cant stand all the christian yuppies preaching about jesus and their sins.

[piedpiperpied]

Thor would dye his hair to match this album art because its that fuckin epic

[aryfont]

this song is fucking awesome!

[skjaldulfr]

Hey, Thor has red hair! What BS album cart is this!?

[OminousParadox]

@skjaldulfr Thor has blonde hair!

[FolkMetalPiper]

@skjaldulfr LOL I dont think a Norsemen would have Irish hair. 

[smashbar333]

@FolkMetalPiper who do you thing brought the red hair to ireland...



[FolkMetalPiper]

@smashbar333 My mom?

[smashbar333]

@FolkMetalPiper good one... but no, the vikings brought the raid hair with them, during the raiding and colonization of ireland, they also brought blonde hair all over the world

[randgrithr]

"Raid hair"?!? LOLOLOL!!!

[smashbar333]

@randgrithr get it :D

[skjaldulfr]

@FolkMetalPiper Whoa, dude. #1 According to viking legend he DID have red hair. #2 Red hair aint Irish! It originated in scandinavia. The only reason the irish have red hair is because they were raped/married by norsemen #3 Do you play bagpipes? So do I, respect

[IrishRebel0808]

@skjaldulfr yo dumbass red hair and blonde hair are a mutation in genetics so saying it originated in norsemen and no mutliple races of WHITE men and women is retarded. its not because they raped so many of them that this happened do you know how many times a day they'd have to have sex with enough women to actually do this you uneducated prick. fuck you the gaels kicked your ass and they'd do it again.

[Metaldrummer100]

When I hear this song I think of Gunnar pretending to ride on a horse........

[HerbredMadness]

@Metaldrummer100 That is the most epic mental image I've ever been given the honor of imagining. Thank you good sir!

[Tjalfi999]

I have never had a dream as good as to contain this song.

[YheOceanguy]

i have dreamed with this song in a dream and was amazing :)

[AlEj01990]

@YheOceanguy I am dreaming right now because this is too awesome to be true :D
