And the newest export-hit of the Faroe ██ ██ Islands (and the greatest since the invention of sheep) ██ ██ is not at all disappointing! Once again with a Jan Yrlund ██ ██ cover (he already was responsible for the cool artwork ██ ██ for the re-release of Eric The Red), the guys round Heri ██ ██ Joensen created with Ragnarok a concept album dedicated ██ ██ to the Twilight of the Gods and the final battle in ██ ██ Asgard, which musically implements this complex story ██ ██ more than adequate. ██ ██ Ragnarok did not become a catchy album at all, but rather ██ ██ needs some time to find the proper access. Does this mean ██ ██ that Tyr have changed their style in comparison to their ██ ██ two former releases? No, not really, they have rather ██ ██ chosen a different approach here and there, which does ██ ██ not appeal from the very beginning but needs some more ██ ██ attention, which will be more than rewarded. ██ ██ "The Beginning" is an intro or more a full-grown ██ ██ instrumental to begin with, which covers the whole ██ ██ spectrum from acoustic guitars to double-bass , before ██ ██ with "The Hammer Of Thor" they deliver a rather ██ ██ surprisingly voluminous opener, which may take some of us ██ ██ a long time to find access to, not least cause of the ██ ██ very long chorus, endowed with unusual harmonies. But ██ ██ after the acoustic interplay "Envy" (the album has a lot ██ ██ of these interplays, that hold the story together) ██ ██ "Brother's Bane" brings us a very strong mid-tempo hymn ██ ██ with a genial chorus, which impressively displays the ██ ██ potential of the quartet. ██ ██ "To Ride To Hel" once again displays the trademarks of ██ ██ Tyr, Heri's characteristic vocals, the inimitable vocal ██ ██ harmonies and the choirs, along with heavy riffing, ██ ██ before "Torsteins Kvaedi" brings us a small hymn in ██ ██ Faeroe language, and "Grimur A Midalnesi" picks up a ██ ██ folksong from the sixties, whose melody is carried forth ██ ██ in the genial "Wings Of Time" which weaves into a really ██ ██ weighty song, which simply captures you. The same goes ██ ██ for "Victory", which delivers a cheerful folk melody in a ██ ██ tavern, takes up the melody in "Lord Of Lies" and puts it ██ ██ into a sweeping song, which is truly bliss! At the end, ██ ██ the title track is another varied highlight with hymnal ██ ██ character and those incomparable choirs. ██ ██ As already stated, "Ragnarok" needs a few runs, but holds ██ ██ the same charm as its forerunners, definitely shows a ██ ██ more mature band which is able to aptly assemble ██ ██ demanding and more complex songs. And in the meantime ██ ██ nobody can complain that Tyr do not have an own style. ██ ██ That was clear for the best of us from the very beginning ██ ██ but with the acquired maturity the guys establish ██ ██ themselves at the top of Metal, no question about that! ██ ██ ██ ██ Ripper's Note : ██ ██ This release has been done from the Russian retail CD ██ ██ (cat number : IROND CD 06-1224). ██ █▓ ▓█ ▓▒ URL........: http://www.tyr.net/ ▓█ ░░ ▓█ ░ ┌─┬─┬─┬┬┬─┐ ┌─┬─┬┬┬─┐ ▓█ █▄ │┌│││││││││ │││││││└┤ ▓█ ▄██████████████████████████████████████████████■ │├┤ ┤││││┌┘ │││┌┤ ├┐│ ▓█ ██▀ █▀ └─┴┴┴─┴─┴┘ └┴┴─┴┴┴─┘ ▓█ ██ ▒█ █▓ ▒█ █▓ Da-DudeZ are a bunch of friends who enjoy good music. ▒█ █▓ Since August 2004, our goal is to bring you the music ▒█ █▓ we like, mostly rock/metal/goth/alt/indie/punk. ▒█ █▓ ▒█ █▒ We are not focused on quantity nor speed, but we're ▒█ █▒ working hard on producing high quality releases. ▒█ █▒ All our releases are ripped using EAC (Secure mode), ░█ █▒ compressed with LAME (-V 0 --vbr-new), formatted with ░█ █▒ lotsa attention (tags, releases infos, ...) and checked ░█ █░ very carefully. ░█ █░ ░█ █░ We're currently looking for affils 10/100mbit EU. ░█ █░ Don't hesitate to contact us.
