Thyrfing is a Swedish viking metal band from Stockholm, founded in 1995 and named after the cursed sword Tyrfing of Norse mythology. Over eight studio albums - from their 1998 self-titled debut through to 'Vanagandr' (2021) - they have built a reputation as one of the genre's most consistent acts, blending melodic black metal with Old Norse themes. The band celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2025 with a run of special shows across Sweden.
Karl Envall was officially welcomed as the new permanent bass player of Thyrfing in 2026, having already performed live with the band throughout 2025.
The Thyrfing and Månegarm anniversary shows in Sundsvall and Umeå were rescheduled to October 2026 due to a health issue affecting Månegarm's Erik.
Thyrfing announced their first-ever appearance at Nightshade Frequencies II in Stockholm, scheduled for September 2026.
Thyrfing announced their first-ever show in Romania, at Quantic Club in Bucharest on 9 May 2026, alongside local band Bucovina.
Thyrfing completed a short Latin American tour in December 2024, playing Bogota, Buenos Aires, Santiago and Mexico City.
