Norse metal Viking gods EINHERJER are set to release their first live album, entitled “Norse And Dangerous (Live… From The Land Of Legends)”, via Napalm Records on August 5th, 2022. The album will be available on vinyl (strictly limited to 300 copies) and as a digital download. It represents the climax of EINHERJER’s nightstand in the band’s hometown of Haugesund last February, dubbed their last album "North Star" shows, where the band performed songs from their most successful records throughout the years, celebrating their legacy.

“Norse And Dangerous (Live… From The Land Of Legends)” not only includes songs from “North Star”, but beautifully sums up EINHERJER's discography, offering a live gem satisfying both new and current fans and Viking metal legions beyond.

To give a first glimpse of what can be expected of the live album, EINHERJER has released the new live version of their single “West Coast Groove”, originally on "North Star", along with a music video. The fierce track imbues old-school vibes with a dark metal atmosphere, in a live rendition that will very much suit the over-the-top spirit of the band. Riddled with even huskier live vocals, the powerful track combines old-school vibes with a dark Viking metal atmosphere that brings the tension of a live concert into your living room.

EINHERJER commented about the live version of “West Coast Groove”:

“With no gigs in a year and new blood in our ranks, we recorded the two hometown release shows just to get an idea of what we sounded like live in 2021. It only took one listen to realize that our fans would appreciate this as much as we did. Einherjer live is an energetic experience. We want to let everyone hear that, so here’s our first live album, recorded live on our home turf in front of many familiar faces. The document of a great evening!”

EINHERJER has been an underground metal phenomenon since its inception almost 30 years ago. Vikings and mythology have always been the band’s obsession, manifested both in their music and concept albums. With their sound rooted in the glory days of black metal, Viking metal masters have come a long way since their 1994 demo “Aurora Borealis” and eight legendary albums through the years as well as numerous tours all over Europe.
