I know that Windir have split-up since Valfar's death and I searched this topic around and it seems that it wasn't created till now and I think that it's missing here, the one's who have heared them should be agree with me; Windir gave us masterpieces like Sóknardarl, Arntor, 1184 and Likferd; in my opinion this band is really amazing the perfect mixture between Black and Viking metal , the riffs, the drums, the synth but specially the accordion and the voices are awesome, the first album that I heared was Arntor the best album they have done and maybe one of the best I've ever heared I think; Windir fans enjoy this forum...Heidra Valfar...

RIP, Valfar was a gem in the black metal community. Arntor is still one of my all time favorite albums. The mixture of the lead guitars and synths with his vocals will never be matched, it is completely unique.

It sucks that there are no official Arntor shirt... Likferd shirt looks crappy, 1184 is a bit better but i don't like them as much as i like Arntor...
it realy sucks balls!


Thats a pity, Ive got the Likferd shirt and its not that bad....just HUGE bought it at backstreetmerch.com and they obviously think all metalheads are fatasses and not in pristine shape like I am

They always had thought like that. That's why I'm not even looking at shirts, 'cause even their "women" sizes are huge - if lucky I can use that kind of shirt as a nightie.

Funny, but I haven't said anything here about Windir. I'm not an old fan of Windir, actually I discovered them recently, but it still doesn't mean I can't enjoy the music they have made. Windir was a great band some time ago. They have left fantastic albums, which remind us the good old times when they were still around. Still, life goes on.

I have 2 Windir-girlies, and I am very skinny.. Never had a problem with that. My only problem is that the shirts are kinda "square".. Not fitted. For example my Burzum and Vreid-girlies are more fit, and has a better shape.

I also use Mens-shirts.. Small and Medium. With skinny pants its ok.. and some of the mens-shirts have a better design.. It's like they are afraid of making a "masculine" print on the shirts for girls.

You could also cut (read "ruin") them like this (or similar):

Windir were a top band. Probably along with Thyrfing and Falkenbach they are my favourite Viking Metal band. Resurrection of the Wild has to be their best track. RIP Valfar

Windir is one of the few heavily black metal influenced Viking bands I really love. Valfar was a god and 1184 is an incredible album. The compilation Valfar, Ein Windir is great, too. I'd kill for 1184 shirt, since it's the album that has the best cover art AND because it is my favourite one from Windir.

If I were you I would get Arntor next, then 1184 and finally Likferd. Might as well go in order, so you can fully appreciate how much Windir progressed in the later years.

I understand. love every track on Sóknardalr, it really is art. Likbør is my favourite track, I can listen to it for hours.

Exactly.
Of course, we can discuss about the value of later albums (in my point of view they can't stand even close to Arntor) but I agree that's the right sequence.
After Sóknardalr you may dislike Likferd.

I bought Arntor, but to me 1184 is Valfar's masterpiece. Destroy is my favorite song from that album.

I expected this band to be good... but not THAT GOD!

I've listen their first album (Sóknardalr) some minutes ago, my first check out in Windir's works, and I got fucking addicted. Its simply an exellent album, and the subsequents receives even better reviews and ratings.

Huge chance of another band to figure among my favorites

"the perfect mixture between Black and Viking metal".

I do really agree with that. The folk-influences are obvious, still the musik is dark and mystic as black metal should be.
