Info:
Windir used to be a one-man's project and was formed in 1994 by
its incontestable sovereign Valfar. "Soknardalr " showed brilliant
composition skills and a refreshing originality, with its mixture
of harsh black metal & epic folk melodies. The folkloric side of
Windir became much stronger on "Arntor", and a couple of tracks
were folk tunes rewritten and rearranged by Valfar. With “1184”
released in October 2001, a new chapter started in the Windir
saga. Windir presented itself as a band.
The lyrical aspect of Windir is very special. The lyrics are not
only written in Norwegian, but they are written in an ancient
version of their local dialect "Saognamaol". The lyrics are utter
national romantic and deals with the history of his native village
Sogndal.
Tragedy befell Windir when Terje ”Valfar” Bakken was found dead on
Saturday 17.1.2004, a victim of hyperthermia. The band announced
its official breakup in April, as the remaining members felt they
could not continue as Windir without him. Several of the members
have since formed a new band, Vreid.
The name:
Windir is ancient Norse for "warrior." |
