Njord is the third studio album by the German/Norwegian symphonic metal band Leaves' Eyes, released on 28 August 2009 on Napalm Records.[1] Njörðr comes from Norse mythology and is a name associated to the Vanir god of the sea and the wind.
In this album the band used for the first time a full orchestra and choir and wrote for them suitable arrangements.
The album was also released in a digipak deluxe edition, including two bonus tracks and a model of a Viking longship with Leaves' Eyes logo on the sail.[2]
