Einherjer - 'Far Far North' (official lyric video)
Northwards and netherwards
Where towered a dreary palace
She, the ruler of misty Hel ere waiting
For you in the hall of death
Hoartfrosted sick-bed hordes trudge
Murderers and oathbreakers
On a crowded path of death yes, to Hel comes the most.
Betrayed be her father, her mother be distress
Mournful beauty, her face half black, half flesh
Tears of sorrow falls like pearls onto the ground
Odin: Send her far away and let her evil do no harm
Send her to Niflhel, to theuttermost peak
Her blood can never in this hall of honour reek
Far Far North
North of Ginnunngagap
Where she rules supreme
In lonely majesty
Soak shall be her home
In death's eternal winter she alone
Welcome to her frosty home
Far Far North
On the ness I now stand
Oh, death would be so sweet
But my fate was rusty sealed
My vengance comes wrapped in sleet
My powers but grow and grow
Come to me, come to me
Ragnarokkr I shall sow
When all chains break I'll be free
Children red with weeping
And a howling bloodsmeared hound
Wrapped in Bedridden saved
A place for the weak
Across the burning bridge
And through the gate of Hel
Horrid visions the prophetess saw
From where the dead from Hel decend
Many men entombed in frost in the ninth realm
Into the deepest pit she saw
A hall she saw stand
far from the sun
It's doors facing north
on Corpse Strand
Drops of poison
dripped through the smoke-hole;
The hall wattled
with serpents backs
She saw there wading
through tubulent waters
Men forsworn
and murderers

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 τραγούδι "Far Far North'", του οποίου το lyric video σας παρουσιάζουμε σήμερα, μας γυρίζει πίσω στο 1997 και στο ομότιτλο ep...
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!»
