any fans around here? i've never seen anyone even mention 'em.

1184 is kicking my ass right now



also, that dude died of hypothermia. most. metal death. ever.

 

[Trylakos]

Windir are grim...but it feels awkward I first started listening to the day before he died though

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I <3 Windir.

This sounded excellent at first listen, sounds like I am going to need to give it more time.

King Louis Philippe of France orders the roads of Paris paved for the first time; the paving is done with stones each about 18 cm (7 in.) thick and 50 to 132 cm (20 to 52 in.) long

It refers to a battle in 1184 that took place in the area in Norway that the band are from, it was called the Battle of Fimreite if I remember.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Windir fucking owns. That is all.

maybe i heard the wrong albu or something, but 1184 just wasn't that great. they weren't epic enough for me or somethng, and they weren't black metal enough or something. it's really hard to describe what was lacking. 1184 wasn't horrible, just not fully....there.

Nachtfalke is much better at this sort of thing. IMO.

 

[dorian gray]

neeeeeeeeeeever heard of em. surprise.

J., you should give at least "Arntor" a try. It's their only album I fully enjoy, but it's a boner-factory.

 

[MFJ]

J, definitely try Arntor. I'll upload a track when I'm home, if you want.

 

[Ellestin]

Lo and behold...
