Eihwar Announce First U.S. Tour

March 16, 2026

Since breaking the Internet two years ago, Eihwar have quickly grown into a real live force. The fantasy Viking duo have entranced sold-out crowds across Europe, at major festivals like Wacken Open Air, Hellfest and Midgardsblot, and during dates supporting The Hu. This year, pagan superheroes Asrunn and Mark are drawing hordes of fans deeper into their Viking War Trance with their hotly-received new album. Hugrheim sets Viking dance floors ablaze with shamanic drums, magical chants and powerful electro beats.

As Hugrheim continues to pound across the international music landscape from dusk to dawn, today, Eihwar are thrilled to announce their first-ever U.S. tour. This fall’s Nordic Ritual Nights tour brings warriors of the dance floor in 17 U.S. cities from coast to coast a chance to raise their drinking horns high and shake what the gods have given them. The setlist for this tour includes new singles“Nauðiz”, “Freyja's Calling”, “Heill Óðinn” and “Hugrheim”, which have combined for more than two million plays on YouTube and Spotify.

“We’re honored to bring the songs of Hugrheim to the United States”, Eihwar says. “On stage, we open a path toward Hugrheim, the hidden tenth world of Yggdrasil, where ritual drums, chants and electronic pulses call the warriors of the North to gather. Expect a night somewhere between a ritual and a slightly unhinged dancefloor. If a Viking Shakira appears next to Fjordcore’s version of Darth Vader… do not worry. That simply means the gates of Hugrheim are open”.

Get ready for the wild electro Nordic folk of EIHWAR! These "Enfants Terribles" aren’t here for solemn atmospheres—their fierce and festive fantasy is made for raging Viking dancefloors. Backed by Season of Mist (home to Heilung and Danheim), Eihwar burst onto YouTube in 2023 and hasn’t slowed down since. With millions of views and festival appearances at Hellfest, Wacken Open Air, and Midgardsblot at the Midgard Viking Center in Norway, they bring a new wave of pagan power shaking across Europe.

This second album from Eihwar describes the world from which these two pagan superheroes originate. It is "Hugrheim," the 10th hidden world of Yggdrasil in Eihwar's fantasy mythology. The two musicians explain:

“Over the past few years, our souls have gradually taken over the bodies of two human musicians. Through incarnation, we lost much of our memories. All that remains are images, emotions, and fragments from our previous existence, mixed in with the thoughts and memories of our human hosts. In this new song, we evoke the memories that gradually come back to us: memories of Hugrheim, the tenth world of Yggdrasil, hidden and unknown to men. This world is shaped by the Hugr, the spirit. In this realm dwell the invisible forces of the soul and consciousness. When our vessels perish here and our incarnation ends, we will return to Hugrheim. Still, we hope to remain here as long as possible this time, because nowadays the beer is fucking good, the rockstar life is pretty damn cool, and dental anesthesia actually exists.”

— Mark & Asrunn

Eihwar Premiere New Album 'Hugrheim'

March 12, 2026

Hot off a year of electrifying performances at Wacken Open Air, Midgardsblot and dates with The Hu, Eihwar are back to pull the world deeper into their Viking War Trance with hotly anticipated new album Hugrheim.

“Eihwar drags ancient, blood soaked combat directly into the heavy throb of the underground”, Folk N Rock writes in a track-by-track feature on Hugrheim. “They hammer voltage directly into iron battle axes, bringing sharpened steel to the dancefloor and burying war chants under some brutal weaponized distortion”.

Hugrheim comes out tomorrow, Friday, March 13 on Season of Mist, but you can hear all 10 pulse-pounding tracks today below.

Pre-order & pre-save

https://orcd.co/eihwarhugrheimalbum

With Hugrheim, Eihwar invite listeners into the hidden tenth world of Yggdrasil. The album is a thunderous trip, powered by war drums, pagan chants and questionable life choices.

Blending Nordic folk instrumentation with electro-industrial pulse and thunderous ritual percussion, Hugrheim captures the chaotic energy that has already rattled festival grounds from Wacken Open Air to Midgardsblot. Eihwar treat Norse mythology less like a museum piece and more like a very loud celebration. Ancient symbolism collides with trance languages, pounding rhythms and the kind of ritual enthusiasm that tends to make crowds forget they are supposed to stand still.

Across ten tracks, Hugrheim unfolds like a guided tour through the stranger corners of this unseen world. From the rune-bound trial of lead single “Nauðiz” and the invocation of “Freyja’s Calling” to the victorious chant of “Heill Óðinn,” each composition opens a new gateway into Hugrheim’s shifting landscapes, including the album’s eponymous track “Hugrheim”. There are battle rites, shadow realms and luminous gardens. There are also quite a lot of drums.

At the center of the story stand Mark and Asrunn, wandering spirits whose memories of Hugrheim slowly return while inhabiting human bodies on Midgard. Through chants, war drums and trance-driven rhythms, the duo translate that mythology into sound. The result is a concept album that moves easily between ritual atmosphere and outright pagan dancefloor energy.

There is something truly unique about Eihwar. In a way, the band relates to Vikings much like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles relate to turtles: wild, over-the-top superheroes who don’t take themselves too seriously. And yet, from their mischievous spirit and contagious joy emerges a deep and moving poetry. A kind of childlike wisdom.

Following the release of Hugrheim, Eihwar will carry the Tenth World across Europe on a headline run presented under the banner Pagan Folk Nights, joined by special guest Mira Ceti. After commanding major festival stages and igniting packed club shows, the duo now bring their ritual drums, trance chants and industrial folk pulse into an extended continental campaign.

Line-up:
Asrunn — Vocals, Shamanic Drums
Mark — Vocals, War Drums, Lute, Folk Guitar, Tagelharpa, Percussion & Programming

EIHWAR Invoke the Allfather on New Single “Heill Óðinn”

February 25, 2026

Hot off a year of electrifying performances at Wacken Open Air, Midgardsblot and dates with The Hu, Eihwar are back to pull the world deeper into their Viking War Trance with upcoming sophomore album Hugrheim.

Today, Eihwar are releasing the third advanced single from Hugrheim. A ritualistic homage to the Allfather, “Heill Óðinn”channels the resurgence of ancient memory and the echo of a forgotten world slowly returning to consciousness.

Watch the official video for “Heill Óðinn” Below:

“Heill Óðinn” marks a decisive moment in the unfolding narrative of Hugrheim. Rooted in the mythology of the hidden tenth world of Yggdrasil, through this song, the spirit takes form and memory becomes prophecy.

Minni fornra tíða kemr til vár smám saman / Í dag minnumk ek morgundags

“The memory of ancient times is slowly returning to us. Today, we remember tomorrow.”

Driven by pounding ritual drums, trance-inducing chants and a chorus that resounds like a call from the spear-mountains of Hugrheim, “Heill Óðinn” pays tribute to the wanderer god who treads between worlds. Eihwar strike with a hybrid force: shamanic percussion collides with industrial undertones and Nordic folk instrumentation, forging an anthem that is both ceremonial and visceral.

Act fast to catch Eihwar on their upcoming European headline tour. Tickets are selling fast! Mark and Asrunn will be joined by special guest Mira Ceti, who sings on stage with Heilung.

Eihwar Summon Norse Goddess on "Freya's Calling"

February 3, 2026

Hot off a year of electrifying performances at Wacken Open Air, Midgardsblot and dates with The Hu, Eihwar are back to pull the world deeper into their Viking War Trance with Hugrheim.

Today, the cult sensation are announcing the second advanced single from Hugrheim. Rooted in the fantastical, playful cosmology that defines the project, “Freya’s Calling” channels the raw, ecstatic force of the Norse goddess of love, battle, fate and ancient magic. Driven by shamanic drums, trance-inducing chants and pulsating rhythms, the song captures a moment of ritual abandon where music becomes invocation and movement becomes communion. Shoes optional, self-control strongly discouraged.

Eihwar Announce Entrancing New Album 'Hugrheim'

January 18, 2026

Hot off a year of electrifying performances at Wacken Open Air, Midgardsblot and dates with The Hu, Eihwar are back to pull the world deeper into their Viking War Trance.

Today, the cult breakthrough are announcing their highly-anticipated second album with a heart-pounding new video for its official lead single. Channeling the duo’s unique fusion of Nordic folk and sweaty electro-industrial pulse, “Nauðiz” sets the tone for Hugrheim by declaring that transformation is not chosen but endured through trials of strength.

Watch the official video for “Nauðiz” Below.

“Nauðiz” mirrors the narrative arc of Hugrheim, where spiritual collapse is a necessary passage toward renewal. War drums and horns surge beneath trance-like chants, blurring the line between ceremony and combat. The accompanying music video expands this vision through a cinematic, live-action aesthetic inspired by bold, graphic storytelling. Struck down by her most intimate fear, Asrunn confronts annihilation before rising again through the protective magic of Mark. Fire becomes both destroyer and catalyst, sealing “Nauðiz” as a story of sacred trial and rebirth.

Eihwar Reveal Hidden World on New Single

September 24, 2025

The enfants terribles of Season of Mist’s roster, Eihwar, are releasing a new single today. Known for their explosive fusion of Nordic folk and electro-industrial chaos, the clan continues to defy the solemnity of most pagan acts on “Hugrheim” with a style that is wild, cartoonish, and fiercely ritualistic.

As Eihwar themselves proclaim:

https://orcd.co/eihwarhugrheim

Following a summer of electrifying festival appearances at Wacken Open Air, Resurrection Fest and Midgardsblot, as well as dates opening for The Hu, with “Hugrheim”, Eihwar present a song that both deepens their mythos and heightens their trance-driven energy.

The word “Hugrheim” comes from Old Norse roots. It can be understood as the realm of spirit, of memory, of consciousness. In the lore woven by Eihwar, their souls appear as reincarnated essences inhabiting human vessels, recalling fragments of their former existence. The song channels these recollections through warrior cries, horns, ritual percussion and machine-driven pulse, aligning Asrunn and Mark with pagan folk lineage while advancing into their own shamanic and celebratory, dance-driven terrain.

To celebrate “Hugrheim”, Eihwar are opening their new Traveling Merchant Webshop. This shop currently includes four t-shirt designs, one of which was only previously available at their concerts. It also holds the “Eihwar bindrune” medallion, which the duo describe as the “jewelry of the clan” - a symbolic extension of their ritual universe.

Many bands have explored the Pagan & Norse worlds over the last 15 years seeking atmospheric, acoustic and ritual sounds with great seriousness. This is not the path EIHWAR chose.

Although the musicians of Eihwar are virtuosos in their acoustic traditional instruments, their goal is to bring some fun… and as much chaos as possible during their concerts, provoking the craziest trance on dancefloors. They bring a festive and furious neo-viking music whose primal force is based on technoid machines, mixed with trance vocals, shamanic drums and traditional Nordic sounds. Electronics are a ‘new steel’ for those modern warriors, cold and powerful. As the web already says, the duo is a kind of new ‘Viking Carpenter Brut’.

Thus, Eihwar named the single, the album but also their style of music ‘Viking War Trance’.

“We are heavy drops of rain announcing lightning.
We call for war:
A war waged against our judgments,
Our inner demons, our limits,
Our stiffness of body and mind.
We don’t want our best enemies to spare us
Nor to be spared by those we love.
We invoke a war for our thoughts,
A flamboyant chaos of fire & ice,
Cradle of creation.”
