Thyrfing’s musical evolution and progression, keeping their roots in mind, have given the band a wide amount of fans all over the world. Thyrfing play their Metal with a northern touch alongside their folk and symphonic influences, and they are counted among the finest of their genre.
Formed in 1995, after two demo-tapes they were picked up by Hammerheart Records in 1997. Their first self-titled album, produced by Tomas Skogsberg at the well-known Sunlight Studio, was released in March 1998.
In 1999, they released “Valdr Galga”, recorded at Abyss Studio, produced by Tommy Tägtgren.
Thyrfing played at Dynamo Open Air, followed by a three-week tour with Six Feet Under, Vader, Enslaved, Cryptopsy and Nile. For this tour Hammerheart released Thyrfing’s two demos on a limited CD called “Hednaland”.
“Urkraft” was released in August 2000. The year also held two mini-tours with Primordial and Shadowbreed through The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
In 2001, “Vansinnesvisor” (Songs of Madness) was recorded at Dug-Out Studios, with Daniel Bergstrand, and released in July 2002. To support the album, Thyrfing played two support gigs (for Freedom Call and Dismember) in Stockholm during the winter, and did a small headliner tour in Benelux with Cruachan and Shadowbreed.
The year of 2003 followed with further live promotion such as the Generation Armageddon Festivals (including Ancient Rites, Septic Flesh, Primordial, Blood Red Throne & Skyfire), a 12-day European tour throughout Europe and performances on the main festival-stages of 2000 Decibel in Sweden and Wacken Open Air in Germany.

Hels Vite is a strong album, but the best moments don't match those on the previous two albums. Becoming the Eye is a lowpoint. You mention dismal and vicious, there isn't a riff on Hels Vite that is as truly vicious as The Voyager or Far at Helvete, but that's not really the intention. It's more about the sound on Hammerheart.

I'll second that Stigmatyze. Hels vite is, as far as I am concerned, Thyrfing's best release to date, and one of the most outstanding viking/pagan releases ever because of it's viciousness. Thyrfing's progression from a mediocre viking metal band (the first albums have a rather high meadhorn-rating IMO) to a unique band that can hardly be compared with anything else in the genre is more than a little outstanding.

Hels vite just shows, that the typical meadhorn-dumbfags aren't into this kind of pagan/viking metal, it's dismal, cumbersome, and extremely vicious, no wonder those fashion-vikings don't like it, as they usually only listen to cheesy "Hail odin, you're the best, you pwn the shit out of everyone"-bands.

Vansennesvisor and Farsotstider are just as amazing as the earlier stuff, it's just a different sound that you're obviously not into. I prefer their earlier albums but there are some ridiculous songs on those two albums (The Voyager, The Giant's Laughter, Far at Helvete, Jag spar fordarv). The vocal performance alone on those albums make them undeniably awesome.

The first three are absolutely amazing imo, Urkraft is good too. The rest... no.
