The one-armed God of War - the bravest of all - 'Tyr'.
Tyr are a band originating from the Faroe Islands, touring in countries such as Iceland, Denmark, Russia, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Finland, Russia,
Germany, and of course, the Faroe Islands.
Their album 'Eric the Red' went on to become the best sold album in the Faroe Islands and earned them recognition from Australian record company,
'Napalm Records'.
Almost every song is based on Faroese or Nordic lore, generally through the genre of Folk Metal. In 2006, Tyr started work on the album 'Ragnarok', -
a personal favourite of mine - according to the Tyr website, "Ragnarok emerges as a masterpiece within the true Viking Metal genre!".
Tyr have a good discography;

Does "improving the quality of life for all", include Americans??
"At a Denver conference on intercontinental trade corridors, a Mexican mayor called for a swift move toward a European Union-style merger of the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Referring to Europe, Evaristo Lenin Perez of Ciudad Acuna – a sister city of Del Rio, Texas – told the Great Plains International Conference, "It's a model we need to follow quickly."
Perez later told WND, "If only people know the benefits of opening the borders and working together, improving the quality of life for all, then no one would be opposed to the idea of a North American Union."
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=57762
Such an idea wouldn't be at all in the interest of Americans and of the United States overall. It would even question the very existence and values of the U.S. Constitution. American people would loose much of the freedom they enjoy, owing to new rules and regulations fiiting the circumstances.
In the case of the E.U., such a move was of no benefit for many countries; quite on the contrary. Wages went down and unemployement rose fastly, owing to a massive arrival of foreign workers and to outsourcing within Europe.
It is easy to understand the interest many Mexicans and Canadians people would find if ever such a thing happened.
The question Mexicans and Canadians advocating this idea have to ask to themselves is: of which interest it would be for the United States and American people, and on behalf of which idea?" Unselfish universalism? Socialism?
Forget it.
