Tyr has never worn kilts that I know of, they are Faeroese, and most of their songs are in english, to reach a wider audience. One of my favorite folksongs from Denmark they did in Danish, "Ramund hin Unge". They also do songs in Faeroese, and sometimes mix verses in that and english. All their music is very cool ballads and inspired by the Sagas and Eddas, and some of the modern world events.

Like I say, they don't wear kilts, but they do wear mail shirts on stage. And in their videos they often have swords.

I just feel the need to defend them because they have such an impact on my life and are one of my most favorite bands.
