Info:
Thyrfing play their Metal with a northern touch alongside their folk- and symphonic influences, and they are counted among the finest of their genre. The band was formed in the beginning of 1995. In autumn 2001 Dug-Out Studio was entered (together with producer Daniel Bergstrand) to record the most diverse and mature Thyrfing album ‘to date: “Vansinnesvisor”. In the beginning of 2005 the band decided to sign a deal with a new label, namely Regain Records from Sweden.

The name:
Thyrfing [Tyrfing] was a royal sword smithen by the dwarfs Durin and Dvalin for king Svaverlame, Odin's grandson. But as the work was done under compulsion, the dwarfs cursed the sword so that it would become the death of Svaverlame, commit three outrages and become a man's bane whenever it was pulled.
