My HeadBangers welcome from Sandviken, Sweden, the Viking Rock Band: NJORD
“För Sent”
You know I love bands whose name comes with a history, well this is what I found about the name of Njord.
Njord was the god of the sea in Norse mythology. He is the father of Freyr and Freya.
She was not permitted to look at their faces, only their feet. She chose the most beautiful feet she saw, thinking they belonged to the god Balder. Instead, they were the feet of Njord. Skadi was used to living in the icy mountains, and Njord was used to living by the sea. This made their marriage difficult, and eventually they chose to live apart from each other.
Well that’s a shame isn’t it, but mythology is great. Bands that have history to them are so interesting to me, makes you wonder why did they pick this name.
“Under Hammaren”
Let’s look at some bio on these guys:

My Thoughts:
My HeadBangers, with all that’s happening on this planet right now the one thing that is a constant in my life is my music. It’s the only thing that keeps me going every day and keeps me from losing my shit. You all know what I mean. The music is always there like an old friend waiting for you to come and visit, to sit back, relax and turn it up nice and loud. The music will drive away your fears and worries and let you, for as long as you want, stay in that in between world where all you hear is the music we love and the beat of our hearts as it pours into us. Metal makes us stronger and personally helps me face another day. I hope all my HeadBangers are doing great. We will beat this as we always do and if any of you need to talk to another HeadBanger email me at anytime:
