Windir is an awesome black metal band originally started by Valfar as a one man project, however after a quite straightforward black metal album Sóknardalr in 1997 (after two demos) this man really unleashed his potential.

Two years after his debut Valfar released Arntor, quite possibly one of the most awesome explorations into black folk, with often upbeat synth arrangements and brutal vocals overlayed with historical lyrics in an old Norwegian language. While it's not Windir's most popular work it is very often hailed as the best of his work, and it was Windir's final as a one man band.

After the stunning Arntor Valfar combined with Ulcus to create a new Windir and released their most popular work 1184, going back to more black/thrash metal oriented music this would keep up with their final album Likferd.

Unfortunately for black metal and music in general Valfar died in a snowstorm while walking to his family cabin in the mountains, a truly grim and frostbitten death.

RIP Valfar.
