With their eighth studio album, North Star, Einherjer reaffirms their reputation as true pioneers in the Viking metal genre, seamlessly blending Nordic Black Metal and Folk Metal. This release marks a significant return to Napalm Records after a 25-year hiatus since their iconic Dragons Of The North album from 1996.
Recorded post-pandemic at Studio Borealis, owned by founding member Frode Glesnes, the album features raw production that connects beautifully with its predecessor, Norrøne Spor, making North Star possibly the most powerful album in their discography.
Each track is a journey, starting with the impactful opener, “The Blood And The Iron,” which captivates with relentless double-bass drumming. The atmospheric “Stars” weaves dark chords and immersive soundscapes, while “West Coast Groove” showcases Einherjer’s technical prowess with impressive guitar solos.
