EIVØR: Darkness, Drums And The Space Between

Interview by Ali Williams
Interview by Ali Williams
Faroese artist Eivør is celebrating the impending release of her latest studio album, Tungl. For over two decades she has been considered one of Nordic music’s alluring treasures with her voice and also the range of her music, managing to captivate audiences worldwide. She is also midway through a European summer festival run, having recently played the Czech Republic’s Brutal Assault, which she described as one of the coolest festivals she had played in a long time. Holland was next, Germany was waiting after that, and somewhere amongst the kilometres, hotel rooms and Nightliners sat a newly completed album and two freshly released songs.
There is plenty happening in Eivør’s world, although trying to package exactly what she does into one convenient genre remains somebody else’s problem. Despite having developed a strong following within metal circles, particularly among listeners drawn to darker Nordic and pagan-influenced music, Eivør has never considered herself a metal artist. In fact, she has never been particularly interested in attaching herself to any specific genre at all. That has not stopped metal audiences claiming a sizeable piece of her.
