Marking seven years since the incredibly unfortunate death of Valfar. This album is perhaps his best work, with the chilling and unsettlingly real "Journey To The End" to mark the end. Baz Anderson's picks | More picks ›› |

Journey To The End is the best epitaph ever I embraced my vision, as it was common for me, A fate, a destiny, an inevitable early death Finally I'm dead, And the vision is revealed for everyone else.

Written by Guest on 15.08.2011 at 18:26 Technically, no. You're posting something relevant to the topic at hand - but it's a little spammy for sure, in that three separate sections of the site don't need to know the exact same thing. Although you are adhering to the 101 Rules of Being a Metal Stormer.

Loving this album! First time i've heard of this band, they kinda sound like a folkier version of the early-era Mayhem. Might check out their other albums!

Somehow this one doesn't click with me like Arntor and Likferd do. Strange, because many apparently consider this album to be their best one. Still great stuff. Not many bands are as consistent in terms of quality as Windir, that's for sure.

Ignore my last comment. Spun this around 5 times now and it's totally awesome. This might very well be the most consistent band ever, for me. All of their material, especially their last 3 albums, are excellent.

Can't even see him cause I ignored him, so fuck 'im. I don't like this album anyway, so I'd probably end up agreeing with him, too.

RIP. These guys were great and nobody else sounds quite like them. Something about how they combined those epic tremolo marches with those hypnotic clean treble leads just works so well.

Written by Guest on 13.09.2014 at 15:01 Exactly. First time I heard it I was like WTF? Second time I heard it I was like, "this is pure fucking genius". Have to check out the other albums now...

Written by Dima on 13.09.2014 at 14:58 Your right, no other metal band out there has a sound like that. Still to this day and since 2013 it's one of, if not my all time favourite melody. It's such a shame what happened to their singer, for the music these guys produced they deserved a bigger discography.
