Eihwar invoke the Allfather on ‘Heill Óðinn’

Eihwar release “Heill Óðinn,” the third single from their forthcoming album Hugrheim. A ritualistic homage to Óðinn, the Allfather, the track channels the resurgence of ancient memory and the echo of a forgotten world slowly returning to consciousness.

Rooted in the mythology of Hugrheim, the hidden tenth world of Yggdrasil, “Heill Óðinn” marks a decisive moment in the album’s unfolding narrative. In this realm shaped by the Hugr, the spirit, thoughts take form and memory becomes prophecy. As described in the fictional treatise Hugrheim, the Tenth World of Yggdrasil, this unseen domain stands beyond the nine known worlds, a shifting landscape where soul and fate intertwine.

“Heill Óðinn” captures the moment when memory stirs:

Minni fornra tíða kemr til vár smám saman / Í dag minnumk ek morgundags

“The memory of ancient times is slowly returning to us. Today, we remember tomorrow.”

Driven by pounding ritual drums, trance-inducing chants, and a chorus that resounds like a call from the spear-mountains of Hugrheim, the track pays tribute to the wanderer god who treads between worlds. Eihwar strike with a hybrid force: shamanic percussion collides with industrial undertones and Nordic folk instrumentation, forging an anthem that is both ceremonial and visceral.

The single is accompanied by an official music video, directed by Mark & Asrunn, featuring Benoit Lala as Óðinn. The visual narrative places the Allfather at the heart of Hugrheim’s awakening, summoning forces long dormant as destiny is once again set into motion.

Following the release of Hugrheim, Eihwar will carry the Tenth World across Europe on a headline run presented under the banner Pagan Folk Nights, joined by special guest Mira Ceti. After commanding major festival stages and igniting packed club shows, the duo now bring their ritual drums, trance chants and industrial folk pulse into an extended continental campaign.

Get ready for the wild electro Nordic folk of EIHWAR! These “Enfants Terribles” aren’t here for solemn atmospheres—their fierce and festive fantasy is made for raging Viking dancefloors. Backed by Season of Mist (home to Heilung and Danheim), Eihwar burst onto YouTube in 2023 and hasn’t slowed down since. With millions of views and festival appearances at Hellfest, Wacken Open Air, and Midgardsblot at the Midgard Viking Center in Norway, they bring a new wave of pagan power shaking across Europe.

This second album from Eihwar describes the world from which these two pagan superheroes originate. It is “Hugrheim,” the 10th hidden world of Yggdrasil in Eihwar‘s fantasy mythology. The two musicians explain:

“Over the past few years, our souls have gradually taken over the bodies of two human musicians. Through incarnation, we lost much of our memories. All that remains are images, emotions, and fragments from our previous existence, mixed in with the thoughts and memories of our human hosts. In this new song, we evoke the memories that gradually come back to us: memories of Hugrheim, the tenth world of Yggdrasil, hidden and unknown to men. This world is shaped by the Hugr, the spirit. In this realm dwell the invisible forces of the soul and consciousness. When our vessels perish here and our incarnation ends, we will return to Hugrheim. Still, we hope to remain here as long as possible this time, because nowadays the beer is fucking good, the rockstar life is pretty damn cool, and dental anesthesia actually exists.”
