Indie Recordings is proud to announce the signing of Einherjer.

Official press release: Legendary Viking Metal act Einherjer have signed to Indie Recording for the release of their comeback album due out in the spring of 2011.
Einherjer was one of the very first bands to use the Viking thematic and the Norse mythology in metal, and are one of the founders of this now widely acclaimed metal sub-genre.

Their name also origins from the Norse mythology as Einherjer is a vikings life after death. When a viking was slained in battle, he was brought up to Valhalla by the Valkyries, for then to join the army of Einherjers and help the Gods in their clash against the Giants in the age of Ragnarok.

Einherjer disbanded in 2004 after the release of their album Blot through Tabu Recordings. Einherjer was gone until 2008 when they announced their return to the live scene, and in 2009 they played the Wacken, Ragnarock, Kaltenbach and some selected dates on the Paganfest 09 tour. Einherjer is currently finishing up their 5th studio album, still in the spirit of their previous releases.

Einherjer on the signing: "Finally, after a long wait, we're very proud to announce that we have chosen the most dedicated, enthusiastic and hard working label to release our next albums... Indie Recordings! To work with this level of professionalism is something we've always emphasized, and Indie Recordings has shown through the years that they can deliver. This will be the start of a new chapter for us and we look into the future with great expectations and a great deal of excitement. We do it our way... we always have and always will!

More details on the upcoming album and live shows will be announced shortly.

Einherjer have issued the following update on their official MySpace:

"2009 has been a good year for Einherjer. We did some great festivals with Wacken Open Air as the definitive highlight. We got great response and we had a great time. We also spent most of 2009 to write new material and now it's time to bring to the production to the next phase.

Einherjer will enter Studio Borealis in January to start recording the new, yet untitled, album. This will be our first album in 7 years. The last Einherjer album was Blot, released by Tabu Recordings in 2003."

The Norwegian Viking metal legends Einherjer have been announced to reunite at Ragnarök Festival which is to take place on 17th-18th April 2009 in Lichtenfels, Germany. Furthermore Alkonost and Fejd have been added to the billing. Below the entire statement of the festival:

"For about four years you didn't hear anything from Einherjer, one of the most important bands in viking metal, which split up in 2004. We're proud to announce their comeback will be next year at Ragnarök Festival, which is a great chance for many metalheads to see their idols again or maybe for the first time. We hope that yet another great chapter will be added to the band's awesome history in April 2009 at Lichtenfels and hopefully many other shows will follow.

Apart from that we got two more talented bands to confirm. Alkonost will show us, together with also playing Arkona, that Russia is a country full of very nice, unfortunately outside Eastern Europe mostly fameless bands. Alkonost is nearly 15 years old, but never played in Germany before. They mix pagan, black and doom metal with distinctive Russian folklore.

Fejd's music is a little bit more calm, but very enjoyable. Since 2001 they do Scandinavian folk with Swedish lyrics and a lot of enthusiasm. Ragnarök will be their first show outside of Sweden ever and their very first show at a festival, too. If you love music like the "Urminnes Hävd" EP from Månegarm, you'll love them as well.

With already 15 bands confirmed, advance booking starts today. Tickets cost 35 EUR each and can be bought at the shop on the festival's homepage. Shipment starts at the first week of October. Unfortunately we were forced to increase the price of the tickets a little bit due to the city of Lichtenfels imposing very acerb obligations to us. Tickets will also be available at the Ragnarök's Aaskereia Tour in October. Furthermore we still have festival shirts and girlies of the Ragnarök V Festival at our shop for 10 EUR (original price was 15 EUR), as well as restricted drinking horns for 20 EUR.

Further information is available at our homepage www.ragnaroek-festival.com "

The whole festival lineup reads as follows, with at least one more headliner to be announced:

Adorned Brood (GER)
Alestorm (UK)
Alkonost (RUS)
Arkona (RUS)
Einherjer (NOR) - Reunion
Fejd (SWE)
Finsterforst (GER)
Fjoergyn (GER) - "Jahreszeiten" Release Show
Heidevolk (NL)
Kivimetsän Druidi (FIN)

A message from Einherjer

EINHERJER SPLIT UP

After 11 years, 4 albums and 2 mini-albums we've decided to split up Einherjer. We feel that
we've made the album we wanted with Blot and therefore a journey of 11 years has come to an end.
We would like to thank everybody who has supported us through the years.

For us, it is time to move on. We are definitively not retiring as musicians, so you haven't
heard the last from us yet?

Regards
Frode, Aksel & Gerhard
