Einherjer – FAR FAR NORTH Compact Disc Digi

Between the cult debut “Dragons Of The North” and the second “Odin Owns Ye All”, EINHERJER released the great EP “Far Far North”!Released in 1998, “Far Far North” is a cult-classic release by the Norwegian band Einherjer. While technically an EP, it is often cited as a definitive moment for the band, bridging the gap between raw black metal roots and epic, melodic storytelling. Unlike their debut album “Dragons of the North”, which featured a more aggressive, traditional black metal vocal style, “Far Far North” introduced a shift toward melodic Viking Metal. “Far Far North”, the title track, is an absolute anthem. It’s known for its catchy, galloping rhythm and a chorus that practically demands you grab a drinking horn. It’s one of the band’s most recognizable songs. Released at the time via Century Media, this EP helped solidify Einherjer as leaders of the second wave of Viking Metal. While bands like Bathory pioneered the genre, Einherjer are among those who refined the Viking metal aesthetic – blending heavy metal structures with Norse mythology and folk-inspired melodies.For fans of Enslaved, Moonsorrow, Thyrfing
