THYRFING

 

 Swedish Metal pride THYRFING today is a great example of genuinely cherishing the genre, never stopping to search for creative depths and not becoming shallow, easily digestible product. THYRFING is 100% strong elixir for gourmets of Black Viking Metal. Existing more than 20 years, the band has released 7 amazing albums, and has a lot of followers. Both critics and fans consider this band one of the most solid in the genre.

 One of the Finntroll’s guys once said: “We sound like THYRFING, but they do it with class”. And for real, among nowadays’ plastic sword-waving Folk Metal hordes, THYRFING stand out because of their verity and frankness. In their lyrics, THYRFING not only sing about Scandinavian mythology, which is quite usual for this genre, but they also contemplate on modern people and the fact that it becomes normal to be dead inside and not to truly experience one’s life. Talking about the musical side, their music producer is Jens Borgen, the man behind the wall of sound production on Amon Amarth, Opeth and Paradise Lost albums. One more key in band’s success is the band name which is taken from the sword Thyrfing, which is a cursed blade that appears in several Scandinavian tales and myths.

 Live performances of these Swedes are truly impressive, while performing the band manages to mesmerize even more than their impeccable records. Enchanting concerts and sincere creation apparently is band’s key to success, because they are extremely moderate on the media and it seems that they do nothing to be exalted. However, THYRFING are desired and expected by Viking Metal fans in whole world!

 THYRFING concerts are extremely rare and in accurately selected events. We are glad that the band finds KILKIM ŽAIBU attractive. This time they are going to make the first visit to Baltic States. Encouraged by mutual liking, we will try to do everything that THYRFING performance would be unforgettable!
