I am half Faroese & 1st generation. My mom was born and raised on Nolsoy. I am not sure at this time what I will do with this but hopefully I can bring more attention to the Faroe Islands & make more people aware of one of the most beautiful places on earth.
OK I am getting excited. Týr has come to America and they will be in Seattle this weekend. If you are not familiar with Týr they are a Faroese metal band. But it is more then your typical metal band, their music is what is called by many as viking metal. This is a mix of traditional Faroese folk music with the metal influence. The mixture produces a unique sound.
Here is a video of them.
So if you are in the Seattle area check them out.
They will be in the United States through the end of March. Check out their MySpace site for additional shows. I will let you know how the show went in a future blog.
