Since breaking the Internet two years ago, EIHWAR have quickly grown into a real live force. The fantasy Viking duo have entranced sold-out crowds across Europe, at major festivals like Wacken Open Air, Hellfest and Midgardsblot, and during dates supporting The Hu. This year, pagan superheroes Asrunn and Mark are drawing hordes of fans deeper into their Viking War Trance with their hotly-received new album. Hugrheim sets Viking dance floors ablaze with shamanic drums, magical chants and powerful electro beats.
“Hugrheim is here to make you lose yourself, embrace your inner Viking raver and dance your tits off”, Metal Hammer UK writes in a 4 star review.
As Hugrheim continues to pound across the international music landscape from dusk to dawn, today, Eihwar are thrilled to announce their first-ever U.S. tour. This fall’s Nordic Ritual Nights tour brings warriors of the dance floor in 17 U.S. cities from coast to coast a chance to raise their drinking horns high and shake what the gods have given them. The setlist for this tour includes new singles “Nauðiz”, “Freyja’s Calling”, “Heill Óðinn” and “Hugrheim”, which have combined for more than two million plays on YouTube and Spotify.
“We’re honored to bring the songs of Hugrheim to the United States”, Eihwar says. “On stage, we open a path toward Hugrheim, the hidden tenth world of Yggdrasil, where ritual drums, chants and electronic pulses call the warriors of the North to gather. Expect a night somewhere between a ritual and a slightly unhinged dancefloor. If a Viking Shakira appears next to Fjordcore’s version of Darth Vader… do not worry. That simply means the gates of Hugrheim are open”.

Get ready for the wild electro Nordic folk of EIHWAR! These “Enfants Terribles” aren’t here for solemn atmospheres—their fierce and festive fantasy is made for raging Viking dancefloors. Backed by Season of Mist (home to Heilung and Danheim), Eihwar burst onto YouTube in 2023 and hasn’t slowed down since. With millions of views and festival appearances at Hellfest, Wacken Open Air, and Midgardsblot at the Midgard Viking Center in Norway, they bring a new wave of pagan power shaking across Europe.
This second album from Eihwar describes the world from which these two pagan superheroes originate. It is “Hugrheim,” the 10th hidden world of Yggdrasil in Eihwar’s fantasy mythology. The two musicians explain:
“Over the past few years, our souls have gradually taken over the bodies of two human musicians. Through incarnation, we lost much of our memories. All that remains are images, emotions, and fragments from our previous existence, mixed in with the thoughts and memories of our human hosts. In this new song, we evoke the memories that gradually come back to us: memories of Hugrheim, the tenth world of Yggdrasil, hidden and unknown to men. This world is shaped by the Hugr, the spirit. In this realm dwell the invisible forces of the soul and consciousness. When our vessels perish here and our incarnation ends, we will return to Hugrheim. Still, we hope to remain here as long as possible this time, because nowadays the beer is fucking good, the rockstar life is pretty damn cool, and dental anesthesia actually exists.” — Mark & Asrunn
