Windir
Windir (transl. Warrior) was a Norwegian black metal band from Sogndal Municipality. The band was formed in 1994 by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Terje "Valfar" Bakken and released its debut album, Sóknardalr, in 1997.
Windir produced four albums in their nearly ten years of existence. The band broke up in March 2004 after frontman Valfar died of hypothermia after becoming caught in a blizzard on his way to his family's cabin in Norway. Following his death, the remaining band members went on to form several new bands, including Vreid, Mistur, and Cor Scorpii.
