I'd really like to offer my thanks for this article. A series of coincidences found me at this site a few days back. The discovery of Týr's music is perfectly timed. I'm a novelist and my process is heavily influenced by the music I hear while writing. Týr happens to be perfect for the series of novels I'm working on. I almost can't believe that there's music out there that fits so well with the mood of my story. I didn't even know it existed. I was floundering. I danced around my office like a giddy child when I discovered Týr's music.

So, thanks to Amy Reiswig for the article and to Týr for the inspiration. I don't know if this note will get back to either of them, but should it: consider yourself suitably hugged, people. You've done me a good turn.
