Týr

May 20, 2018

Echoplex – Los Angeles, CA

     Týr is a folk metal band from the Faroe Islands, a small group of islands located in Northern Europe. They announced their first USA tour since 2014 and fans were ecstatic to finally have them return for a headlining tour. The music and lyrics of Týr mainly deal with viking lore, mythology, and history. Their name comes from the god of law and justice in Norse religion. Accompanying them on tour was Orphaned Land, Ghost Ship Octavius, and Aeternam. Sunday night seemed like a nice day to hold a concert in LA which showed by the number of fans that showed up to support these bands that don’t often come to the US.

Týr came out and started the show with Gates of Hell, a brand new song from their upcoming new album which is still untitled and will maybe see a release later this year. Upon starting the show, fans went wild as they started jumping and shoving as they were happy to see Týr after so long. The second song played was one of their more popular hits Blood of Heroes and drove the fans just as wild. Mare of My Night is another one of their popular hits and fans love singing along to it as well as moshing to it. Frontman Heri Joensen spoke to the crowd about how good it felt to be back as well as show his support for the bands he was touring with. Týr has a very fun and energetic stage presence as all the band members were seen happy and were clearly having lots of fun performing in front of their fans. Fans responded back by having fun of their own by chanting the band’s name, moshing, and singing along to the band’s catchy lyrics. Týr never had a dull moment in their show as they played tracks like Lady of the Slain, The Lay of Thrym, Hail to the Hammer, and By the Sword in My Hand. After an hour and a half of viking and folklore music, it was time to say goodbye. Joensen announced that the last song of the night would be “the other hammer song” which is the band’s most popular song and super catchy, Hold the Heathen Hammer High. The fans were happy to hear this and continued to sing and mosh to the song. The show ended and Týr the stage. Fans weren’t ready to go yet and chanted the band’s name. Týr listened and came back out. Joensen thanked the audience for coming out and treated them to a couple of encores which were Shadow of the Swastika and Ramund Hin Unge. The fans were given one last chance to go crazy and they made Týr proud. Týr finished their show and once again left the stage for a very satisfied audience. Hopefully it’s not another four years before Týr makes their way back to the states.

Satyricon

The Regent – Los Angeles, CA

      Norwegian black metal band Satyricon finally announced their first USA tour since 2009. The bad news is that the band also announced that this would be their final USA tour because they found it difficult to come to the USA and so they would be coming one last time to deliver black metal classics to their American fans. Fans were also happy to learn that the band’s drummer Frost would be joining the band as he is often not able to tour in the USA with Satyricon or his other Norwegian black metal band, 1349. The Los Angeles fans were so excited for their possibly first and last time seeing Satyricon that the show sold out weeks ahead of time.

The Regent in DTLA was well beyond packed by the time that Satyricon was ready to hit the stage. Satyricon came out and started the show with Midnight Serpent, the first track from their newest album, Deep Calleth Upon Deep. The band sounded great live and fans were more than happy to show love to the band by starting a mosh pit. Satyricon next played Our World, It Rumbles Tonight and fans continued to mosh and headbang to the band’s music. The third song performed was Black Crow on a Tombstone and frontman Satyr allowed fans to sing along to the chorus as he would hold out his mic to the audience. Satyricon kept up the black metal vibe to their show as Satyr would let out his evil black metal vocals which gives the band the traditional black metal sound. Satyr has especially been brave about touring overseas since in October 2015, he has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Surely singing and performing takes its toll on the man. Regardless, he always gives it his all in his performance. Satyricon kept up the black metal warfare as they performed classics like Now, Diabolical, Walk the Path of Sorrow, The Wolfpack, and Die By My Hand. Satyr let the audience know once again that it was hard for them to come out on this tour, but here they were finally and for the last time. Satyr thanked the audience for coming out and the band proceeded to play one of the band’s well-known hits, Mother North. Satyricon left the stage and all seemed to be over. The fans stayed, cheered, and chanted the band’s name. After a little while, Frost made his way back to his drum throne and fans cheered as they knew they were getting an encore set. The first encore was The Pentagram Burns. Fans once again went wild and moshed to the music. The final two encores were Fuel For Hatred and K.I.N.G. and they were performed flawlessly. Satyricon finished their brutal set, bowed to their fans, and left the stage to be seen for the final time.
