(1995 – present)

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.

    Considering Moonsorrow only started playing something even close to viking metal on Verisäkeet, I don't think your opinion matters that much. If you think Hels Vite is so different from Thyrfing's earlier material, go listen to Urkraft.

    They really need to get making a new album. I've been waiting 4 fucking years for them to redeem themselves for making such a horse shit album as Hels Vite. Before that album I considered them one of my favorite bands. Moonsorrow has also sucked cock since Verisäkeet. Viking metal is dead.

    Stop comparing Monsorrow to Thyrfing , they are playing pretty much different music than Thyrfing . However both of them are doing well .
