"How Far to Asgaard" is the first full-length album by the Faroese folk / Viking metal band Týr. It was released in January 2002 by Tutl.

"Ormurin Langi" is a metal version of the traditional Faroese song. A video for the song was also recorded in Iceland.

The song "How Far to Asgaard" is 8:59 in length, followed by 9:50 of silence. At 18:49 there is the Faroese poem "Nornagest Ríma" chanted by a group and accompanied by rhythmic stamping.

The Russian release of the album is issued by СД-Максимум (CD-Maximum) under license from Tutl. The 9:50 of silence on the track, "How Far to Asgaard" is shortened to just 0:51. This version also contains the video for "Hail to the Hammer." The album art on this version is an obvious remake of the original.
