L-R – Warraxe (Lead Vocals, Guitar), Lucas (Drums), Fred (Lead Guitar), Benfok (Bass, Back Vocals)
As 2017 comes to an end and 2018 just around the corner, dungeon and dragons enthusiasts NORDHEIM announce “The New Year of Warriors” New Year’s Day show with Trollwar in Quebec City at L’Anti Bar. The January 1st concert will see the band perform their new album “RapThor” live for the first time. With a simple philosophy of making fun folk metal and good times, the band comments on the upcoming event.
“When we play live it’s a frickin’ party! We move a lot, scream, hump the air, we drink from the fans’ beer bottles and in turn, we feed them beer, with the help of our friends and roadies coming up on stage and pouring beer in their faces. Usually between songs we’ll be making jokes about anything we can think of, as long as it’s dumb and incoherent! We have a strong sense of ‘bro-ness’ with our fans!”
Full details for the event can be found here.
Influenced by bands such as Finntroll, Ensiferum, Kalmah and Wintersun, NORDHEIM‘s latest offering and third studio album “RapThor” was unleashed on November 24th. The album features songs dedicated to the epic flavour of bacon, the colossus power of dinosaurs and more with such titles as “Troll Riding A Raptor”, “Boobs And Bacon” and “Dragonthorn”.
Vocalist / guitarist Warraxe adds about the release:
“Cutting back on the European folklore influences on this one, RapThor is the heaviest and nastiest folk metal albums we have given the fans to date. People who have heard our first two albums will hear the difference. It is super-heavy party music that’s a result of our hard work over the last few years.”
NORDHEIM‘s single “I Wish You Were Beer” can be found streaming at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_deM6zrz6Ak

“With an album entitled RapThor, these Canadians certainly had my attention. The record turned out to be a hell of a ride through a mystical folk metal world complete with a “Troll Riding a Raptor,” “Boobs and Bacon,” and a track called “I Wish You Were Beer.” There’s a chance these guys are a tad tongue in cheek. Fun record.” – Metal Injection
“purveyors of fine folk metal” – PureGrainAudio
“The band puts it straight: the more beer, the better. Songs like ‘I Wish You Were Beer’ and ‘Boobs And Bacon’ are danceable drinking songs in the vein of Alestorm and Korpiklaani.” – Lords of Metal
” The album, which they released independently, starts with Troll Riding a Raptor a fast and heavy song that really is a kick to the head. The song is a great opener for the album.” Grimm Gent
“I certainly recommend sitting down with a good beverage of your choice and enjoy the boozy, epic, sometimes goofy, but ultimately FUN romp that is Rapthor…will leave you more than satisfied with a great big smile on your face.” – Overdrive Mag
“I might just be crowning the king of the bogs this year with the latest from Canada’s Nordheim…“RapThor” has 8 face smashing tracks in its 40 minutes of playing time. Let your melo-death juices flow as you get pulverized by track after relentless track, fueled by booze and chicks…A triumphant return for Nordheim and an end of the year stocking stuffer for album of the year candidate if I ever saw one… season’s greetings.” – Folk-Metal.nl
“From the very get go, the album packs that punch and releases an infinite energy that vaguely recalls the fastest of Black Metal bands. All the while there’s a subtle folk symph to their battle cries. RapThor feels excited to be here. The clean vocal chants of ‘Troll Riding a Raptor’ have easy hooks and feel fitting amongst the rest of the battling music. The shocking speed of each song dangerously thrusts you from song to song, a great example being ‘Scroll of a Lightning Bolt’ which deliciously speeds through its riffs.” – Noizze UK
“Although this album has stepped up and introduced a heavier side, it’s still fast, and catchy. Guaranteed you’ll be partying by the end of it… and whats more of a party then dinosaurs and beer?” – Canadian Beats
“Finally, the four years of waiting have been worth it. The album in its entirety contains no flaws, eight songs of quality and strongly built. ” – Quebec Metal
