Windir - Saknet

Tell me that the passage from 7:30 onwarRAB isn't one of the most beautiful in music. Most of you are missing out on the best band in metal.

I typically hate black metal to no end (as in one of the few genres of music I think I can't typically relate to in one way or another) but I think I like Windir enough to call myself a fan.

Thirding Arntor as my favorite Windir album with my favorite track being Kong Hydnes Haug.
 
Hehe I was going to wait a bit longer before bumping it, but I'm happy someone else did.

Yeah, 1184 is great, especially Journey to the End. I think it's probably overhyped because it's more accessible than the rest IMO - I mean Dance of Mortal Lust is pretty damn catchy.
 
Come on people, ask us for ups! Get hooked and then come back for the Demos and ****. But if you do decide to check em out make sure you listen to at least 60 songs! :D
 
I'm going to have to give these a go I think. If both Seltzer and Comus rate them highly then I should give them a listen. I must admit that their arabient/folk angle appeals to me more as i'm not the biggest Black Metal fan in the world.
 
I love Windir man especial the valfar, ein windir discs beautiful live performances. what i really love about windir is that valfar is really pop-esque in his arrangements of the music. i remeraber him saying he was a fan of abba in one of his interviews. it works beautifully to achieve the epic feel windir erabodies.

windir is like a meeting of the pop traditions from Norway. particularly the dance scene and black metal as well as folk. tell me that is not a hard corabination to pull off.
 
A further bump becuase of just general epicness, and their inclusion in the 1001 albums list, and my compilation from said list in the thread and the compilation thread has a Windir song on it, so go over there and get some!
