Yet fans of TYR will finally be able to also embrace their early works. The re-release "How Far to Asgaard" comprises not only the the debut album of the same title, but also the single "Olavur Riddararos" (2002). Both releases deliver the ingredients that fans of the Viking Metal genre have come to love and expect, including sweeping vocal lines, diverse songwriting, and extraordinary musicianship, as well as new artwork that fits in perfectly with the album's lyrical theme. Witness the birth of a Viking Metal legends!
