Biography from Last.fm
Windir ('Primal Warrior' in English) was a folk black metal band from Sogndal, Norway. The band combined black metal with folk music and mythology. The band was formed in 1994 and released its debut album in 1997. Windir was a project of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Terje "Valfar" Bakken. Windir produced four albums in their almost ten years of existence, each more complex and successful than the last. The band broke up when Valfar died of hypothermia. Many of Windir's lyrics are written in Sognamål. Read more on Last.fm

And what better way to celebrate this ridiculous non-event than by listening to a load of Viking Metal? EXACTLY.
