Viking War Trance - France

Eihwar Band

Eihwar - Logo

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 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 powerful neo-viking music whose primal force is based on technoid machines, mixed with trance vocals 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’.

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, with their own headline tour across Europe being set for late 2024.

Three winters before the Eihwar clan got together, Asrunn had this crazy experience during a runic ritual. She started bawling and got her period right then and there. I mean, not even scarfing down her neighbour’s rabid chihuahua or winning the beer trophy with those Pyrenean lumberjacks messed her up that bad. After that, she started having these wild visions during her trances.

Then there’s Mark, this shady dude who supposedly hung out with Shredder (from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) in kindergarten. People say he got kicked out for practicing some weird stuff called Seiðr and he’s terrified of sunlight.

Anyway, Asrunn, Mark, and a bunch of other misfits formed Eihwar without even planning it. Asrunn ended up recording music while she was in a trance, like tapping into some ancient power or something, and that’s how they bridged the gap between ancient gods and our fucking collapsing modern world.”

Line-up:

  • Asrunn : Vocals, Shamanic Drums
  • Mark : Vocals, War Drums, Folk Guitar, Tagelharpa, Percussion & Programming

The shamanic techno vikings of EIHWAR are set to join forces with Mongolian rock giants The HU this June for a string of electrifying dates across Germany and France. Known for conjuring wild ritual chaos and myth-fueled dancefloor eruptions, the clan will bring their Viking War Trance rites to new battlefields as main support on The HU’s European tour.

From the feral fjords of neo-Norse mythology, EIHWAR barrels onto the scene like a berserker storming a tranquil village. They didn’t choose the warrior’s path; it tore through their souls and left behind a sonic battleground that marries ancient gods with unapologetic modern chaos. This is Viking War Trance—a titanic clash of techno fury and primal beats, designed to send your senses careening into the stratosphere.
