Eihwar – “Sir Mannelig” (Rewritten Nordic Folk Song)
The mythic viking war trance duo EIHWAR has just unleashed an intimate new music video for their single Sir Mannelig, a masterful cover of the timeless classic Herr Mannelig.

Sir Mannelig re imagines the legendary Scandinavian ballad, embracing a more acoustic and narrative-driven essence. While diverging from their explosive techno beats, EIHWAR retains their signature enchanting energy, creating a haunting, immersive experience that reveals their pure artistry beyond the electronic. Sir Mannelig is a unique, stripped-back gem within the context of EIHWAR‘s debut album, Viking War Trance—a wild, unrestrained sonic creation that has been described as “an electric mead-hall feast set to the soundtrack of the apocalypse.”

The album blends EIHWAR‘s dynamic Nordic soundscape with modern electronic energy, channeling the rage of Fenrir and the sorrow of Baldr in a series of epic anthems.

Viking War Trance is out now on Season of Mist.

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.

Since its appearance on YouTube in February 2023, Eihwar has shook the Internet and concert venues. The band experienced rapid expansion on YouTube and was quickly booked by major European festivals such as Hellfest, Leyendas del Rock, Wave Gotik Treffen & more to be announced!
