Founded in 1993 in Haugesund, Norway, Einherjer<\/strong> are among the leading pioneers of the Norwegian metal scene. After disbanding in 2004, they reunited in 2009 and have been releasing new albums regularly ever since. The name \u201cEinherjer\u201d refers to the warriors who fell in battle and were taken to Valhalla by the Valkyries. The Norwegian Viking metal icons Einherjer<\/strong> are making an impressive comeback with their new album \u201cLifeblood.\u201d Founding member Gerhard Storesund talks to us in our July\/August issue about what motivates them to keep going full steam ahead even after 33 years. <\/p>\n\n
