Windir - Immortality

Copied!

We are not immortal
We must find the key
The key to your heaven
This key will bring us immortality

We are not immortal
Find the key to your heavens
This key will bring us
Immortality

We have always knew
That you guided us in fight
You have helped us through
Life as the knife
We have always knew
You guided us through fight
You have helped us through
Life as the knife

When we are worried
Our souls will go to heavеn
There we will feel our immortality

Whеn we are worried
Our souls will go to heaven
There we will feel our immortality

Biography

edit bio

Windir (Translates roughly to “Tribal Warrior”) was a black metal band from Sogndal, Norway, that started out in 1994 as a one-man project from multi-instrumentalist Terje “Valfar” Bakken. It would take seven years, two demo-tapes and two LPs (Sóknardalr and Arntor) before the decision of expanding the project to a six-piece band would be made.

(Terje “Valfar” Bakken)

The band combined the cold and hard-hitting sound of “classic” Norwegian black metal with folk music, synths and electronic music. Though often regarded a black metal band by today’s standards, the use of synths and folk-inspired instrumentation was looked upon as quite experimental when it first came out. It was a combinaion of this, and the fact that black-metal had gotten a bad reputation in Norway by the time Windir dropped due to the many infamous Mayhem-controversies, that Valfar decided to distance himself from the label, naming his sound “Sognametal”.

The band disbanded in 2004 when Valfar died of hypothermia; when traveling to his family-cabin in Fagereggi, by foot, he was surprised by a storm. On September 3rd 2004, the remaining members performed a tribute concert to the deceased front-man. The concert was filmed and later released as a DVD titled “Sognametal”. A compilation album was released the same year, titled “Valfar, ein Windir”.

The band released four full-length albums during its ten year history, Sóknardalr, Arntor, 1184, and Likferd.

Many of the lyrics (especially on the earliest tracks) were written in Sognamål, a Norwegian dialect found in Sogn & Fjordane.
