Týr

Týr is a band from the Faroe Islands. They are in the genre "Viking Metal". For those of you that might not know, they take old Viking folk songs and re-write them to modern sounds.

Some don't like the band because of some of the symbolism they use. What they are doing is using the symbols of pre-Christan Nordic religions. Unfortunately, the Nazis also took these symbols and changed the symbolism of them. This doesn't mean that this band, or others like them, are racist however. They are just proud of their pre-Nazi and pre-Christian ancestors.
