Ok nefna tysvar Ty (Old Norse, "And Call Týr Twice", from Sigrdrífumál 6) is the third studio album by the German Viking metal band Falkenbach . The digipak version comes in a cover embossed in black and gold, and contains an Internet link to the Edda lines sung in "Donar's Oak". The album was re-released by Hammerheart Records in 2011 on 12" vinyl. Limited to 100 copies on clear vinyl and 400 copies on gold vinyl.

Týr Norse deity

In Germanic mythology, Týr, Tíw, and Ziu is a god. Stemming from the Proto-Germanic deity *Tīwaz and ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European deity *Dyeus, little information about the god survives beyond Old Norse sources. Due to the etymology of the god's name and the shadowy presence of the god in the extant Germanic corpus, some scholars propose that Týr may have once held a more central place among the deities of early Germanic mythology.

<i>Sigrdrífumál</i>

Sigrdrífumál is the conventional title given to a section of the Poetic Edda text in Codex Regius.

Viking metal is a style of heavy metal music characterized by a lyrical and thematic focus on Norse mythology, Norse paganism, and the Viking Age. Viking metal is quite diverse as a musical style, to the point where some consider it more a cross-genre term than a genre, but it is typically seen as black metal with influences from Nordic folk music. Common traits include a slow-paced and heavy riffing style, anthemic choruses, use of both sung and harsh vocals, a reliance on folk instrumentation, and often the use of keyboards for atmospheric effect.
