Info:
The intention
and the goal as musicians has always been to try to capture the
atmosphere and the feeling there is to Norse mythology , combined
with the intensity of heavy metal music . Therefore we label
Einherjer's music as Viking Metal . Einherjer have with their new
album "Norwegian Native Art" moved to a more different musical
landscape where the dismal and agressive atmosphere are
conspicuous. The production is grimmer than ever and positively
reeks of raw energy. In 2004, Einherjer disbanded feeling
they had accomplished what they wanted and wishing to pursue other
interests.
The name:
Einherjar (or Einheriar) referred to the spirits of warriors who
had died bravely in battle. Half of them were escorted from the
battlefield after dying by the Valkyries (these are what is
referred to as "einherjar"); the other half went to Sessrumnir,
Freya's hall. The einherjar live on in Valhalla. During Ragnarok,
Odin will call up the Einherjar to fight the frost giants. |
