Biography

Sigtyr is a melodic/epic/atmospheric/folkloric black metal band, based in Sogn in Norway.
The name Sigtyr is old norse and means "Victory in battle", "God of Victory" or "War God".

Sigtyr is the continuation of Odne's one man-project, that he founded in 1999.
It all started in Vik i Sogn, with Odne's 4-track demo called All Makt.
Jan (Mordvarg), who was playing in the local death metal band "Malicious Beauty", found Odne's ideas interesting,
and joined him on his project in 2002. Odne and Jan made 50-50 of the material, and recorded 3 demos together.
They also made a few recordings in 2002 and 2003, but their first serious demo was released in 2004, named Sjelefred.
Their next demo, Kulde, was released in 2005, and their last demo together was Med Sorg Enda Soga, in 2006.
