the group got unfairly boycotted by extremist environmentalists who attacked the lead singer for honouring his cultural heritage, exposing themselves as closed-minded radicals.

Is the frontman of Týr a whaler? They're faroese, this has to be about whaling right? regardless this review set off my hitler-detector

@corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net I don't think prog/folk metal is your jam but you might be interested

It's a shame, the album's really good

I might have to make :hitler-metal-detector:, where the partical detector's got Varg's face in the background or something

conquered and ruled by the danish crown for centuries i expect. it probably wasnt a nice overlordship, but settler colonialist genocide it wasnt. danish rule was light enough that the faroese language survives to this day.
