Eight years after the release of “Blot”, legendary Viking metal act EINHERJER will issue its comeback album, “Nørrøn”, on September 9 via Indie Recordings. The CD was recorded at Studio Borealis and was produced by EINHERJER‘s Frode Glesnes. Matt Hyde (SLAYER, MONSTER MAGNET) mixed the effort. The cover artwork was painted by Renathe H. Bryn.
According to a press release, “Nørrøn” is “an album which combines the best qualities from all of EINHERJER‘s previous albums. It’s dark bombastic and aggressive, but still atmospheric, beautiful and melancholic. ‘Norrøn’ has the quality to send you on a musical journey where your present dies and all your senses starts to relive the music. Where you are plunged into a life of forgotten wisdom, beliefs and forces. Where all that was lost and taken has been resurrected. Where you stand steadfast on Norse ground, calling for revenge from your heathen heart.”
Commented EINHERJER drummer Gerhard Storesund: “This is an album that has caused much joy and despair in the creative process. I hope and believe all the blood, sweat and hard work reflect and color our relentless pursuit of creating something beautiful, original and epic, and at the same time giving you the raw and attacking feeling of the real Viking metal spirit.”
