Einherjer - 'West Coast Groove' (live video)
Well, here we are
Among the raging waves
The great wide open
Beyond the brave ones' graves
Under the silver mountains
Where the North Sea raves
From the land of legends
From the home of the braves
The elemental strain
The endless chase
Stretches far and wide
It's the golden grace
Now let's set the stage
For the Norsemen we are
And let's stomp the pace
Throughout this place
Behold
The West Coast groove
We're the Norsemen
We're marching on
Now heed
The West Coast groove
We're the Norsemen
Our course is true
Well, here we are again
To rock the tidal waves
Still rugged and weathered
As the North Sea crave
We're brothers in arms
We stand together
As Nordic charms
As dragons forever
Behold
The West Coast groove
We're the Norsemen
We're marching on
Now heed
The West Coast groove
We're the Norsemen
Our course is true

Τον πρώτο "ζωντανά" ηχογραφημένο δίσκο θα κυκλοφορήσουν οι Einherjer μετά από σχεδόν τρεις δεκαετίες μουσικής πορείας. "Norse And Dangerous (Live... From The Land Of Legends)" τιτλοφορείται και αναμένεται στις αρχές του τελευταίου καλοκαιρινού μήνα. Το έδαφος προετοιμάζει το βίντεο με την "ζωντανή" απόδοση του τραγουδιού "West Coast Groove", για την οποία η Νορβηγική μπάντα μας λέει:
«With no gigs in a year and new blood in our ranks, we recorded the two hometown release shows just to get an idea of what we sounded like live in 2021. It only took one listen to realize that our fans would appreciate this as much as we did. Einherjer live is an energetic experience. We want to let everyone hear that, so here's our first live album, recorded live on our home turf in front of many familiar faces. The document of a great evening!»

Δελτίο τύπου: «World-renowned Norsemen Einherjer have returned to unleash their fantastic, grim sound once more! Founded in 1993, the metal veterans have spent nearly 30 years making their mark on the Viking Metal genre with eight studio albums and two EPs.
This year, the band even reached another benchmark, earning a nomination for a Spellemann Award - the most important music prize in their home country of Norway.
But the four-piece haven’t begun resting on their laurels yet - Einherjer is now set to deliver Norse And Dangerous (Live... From The Land Of Legends), a spectacular live album to be released via Napalm Records on August 5, 2022 that was originally recorded at their North Star release concerts in their hometown of Haugesund on February 26 and 27, 2021.
The show sets off with great opener “West Coast Groove” from their most recent studio album, North Star (2021). Next, “The Spirit Of A Thousand Years” showcases Einherjer’s technical songwriting sophistication with the finest guitar solos, while “The Blood & The Iron” offers bursting, intense energy and “Kill The Flame” lures with its characteristic riffage.
But the band doesn’t stop with more recent songs! After visiting several other favorites, the band soon returns to days of yore with tracks like “Dragons Of The North” and “Ballad Of The Swords” from their 1996 debut full-length Dragons Of The North, before closing with turn-of-the-century banger “Ironbound” and classic tune “Far Far North”.
The live contrast between their formative hits and more recent orchestrations clearly proves that the band has remained true to themselves throughout the decades, continually delivering an authentic sound. Norse And Dangerous (Live... From The Land Of Legends) beautifully sums up Einherjer’s discography and will satisfy fans new and returning - offering a live gem that no true Viking Metaller should miss!»
