Týr have shared an official video for their new song “Hammered.” That track will appear on their new album “Battle Ballads,” which is set to be released on April 12. Vocalist Heri Joensen commented:
“The song begins with the hammering of metal against metal, forging, then melodic riffing over a simple but classical chord progression that evolves throughout the song. Driving drums, heavy metal over a symphonic soundscape. An adventurous backdrop to the forging of weapons of war, blades of battle. This used to be in the past but now it’s here with a fast-paced singalong chorus. Thoughts on the apparent inevitability of war and our reaction to it. Balancing our enthusiasm against our defeatism.”
