TYR to invade North American shores for first domestic tour

Faroese pagan metal band TYR have been confirmed for the first Paganfest Tour across the United States and Canada. Joining the band on the tour will be Turisas, Ensiferum, and Eluveitie. The tour marks TYR's first journey to these shores, and it's guaranteed to be a very special event. In the past two years, TYR's two Napalm-released albums, Eric the Red and Ragnarok, have continued to find fervent followers mostly by word of mouth.
