Recorded at Norway's Studio Borealis, Norrøn was produced by Glesner and mixed and mastered by Matt Hyde (Slayer, Hatebreed, Skeletonwitch). The cover art, painted by Renathe H. Bryn, can be viewed above. The album commences with a 13-minute epic and features the following track listing:

1. Norrøn Kraft
2. Naglfar
3. Alu Alu Laukar
4. Varden Brenne
5. Malmting
6. Balladen Om Bifrost

For the uninitiated, the band's moniker was inspired by Norse mythology. When a Viking was slain in battle, he was brought to Valhalla by the Valkyries to join the army of slain warriors known as the einherjar, who helped the Gods in their clash against the Giants in the age of Ragnarok.

Founded in 1993, EINHERJER - rounded out by guitarist Aksel Herløe - has previously released four full-length albums and multiple EPs, and toured with such notable names as King Diamond and Cradle of Filth. Norrøn is the band's Indie Recordings debut.

hopefully it's not as meh as their other work.

ah. this rules so far.

Wait, what? I thought they were playing thrash, now. FURTHER RESEARCH REQUIRED.

nah man, straight folking right now

Sorry, should read "they didn't exist but all the same dudes were playing thrash".

only Dragons of the North is real.

Only seeing them live right after Odin Owns Ye All came out is real.
