EIHWAR Release Intimate Video for ‘Sir Mannelig’

While known for storming the dance floor, Eihwar can send souls into a trance with more delicate enchantments.

Today, the mythic viking war duo are premiering a new video for their cover of a timeless Nordic folk song.

Watch below the intimate video for “Sir Mannelig”.

“Sir Mannelig” is unique within the context of Eiwhar’s debut album. Viking War Trance is a wild, unrestrained, electric mead-hall feast that sets the soundtrack for the apocalypse. But the duo’s latest single off the album embraces a more acoustic and narrative-driven essence. While diverging from their explosive techno beats, this song retains their singular energy.

In celebration of Viking War Trance, Eihwar is blowing the roof off every venue from the Netherlands to France. The duo are about to start sweating and stomping on their headlining tour of Europe, which runs until the end of the year.

Many bands have explored the Pagan & Norse worlds over the last 15 years seeking atmospheric, acoustic and ritual sounds with great seriousness. This is not the path EIHWAR chose. Their goal is to induce the wildest trance on the dancefloors!

Since their appearance on YouTube in February 2023, Eihwar has shook the Internet and concert venues. The band experienced rapid expansion on YouTube and was quickly booked by major European festivals such as Hellfest, Rockstadt Extreme Fest and Leyendas del Rock & Wave Gotik Treffen with more to be announced.

Hear ye, hear ye! From the mystical lands of neo-Norse lore, Eihwar crashes onto the scene like a berserker raid on a quiet fjord village. Mark and Asrunn didn’t choose the warrior’s path; it chose them, burgeoning from the primal yet uncharted terrain of their souls, birthing a sonic juggernaut that marries ancient gods with the unabashed chaos of the modern age.

Imagine, if you will, a parallel universe where Vikings discovered synthesizers and started headbanging to techno. This is Eihwar’s debut album, Viking War Trance. A wild rumpus of a record that doesn’t just break the mold—it smashes it with the ferocity of Thor’s hammer. It’s got everything: technoid beats forged in the heart of a dying star, trance emboldened voices, and shamanic drums that could start a storm in Valhalla. Imagine being in a mosh pit with Viking warriors, channeling the rage of Fenrir and the sorrow of Baldr, all swagger and sweat!
