Windir Update:

Windir won't continue...

04.03.2004 End of an era

The loss of our best friend and the founder of Windir have made these last months an extremely hard time. We have decided that Windir will not continue. Valfar created Windir, and we feel that Windir will not be Windir without him.

After encouragement from Valfar’s family, we have decided to release one last Windir CD. This will be a CD in honour of Valfar. It will be a 2 disc CD. The first CD will include new material, unreleased material, tribute songs from other bands and live tracks. The second CD will be a compilation of the great music made by Valfar. It will include tracks from the first demo Sognariket to the last album Likferd. Tabu Records will release the album in August/September 2004. We have decided that all income from this CD will go directly to Valfar’s family.

We also want to thank all friends, fans, bands, labels and magazines that have supported us in these difficult times. Information on future musical projects from Windir members will be announced later.

The music of Windir is still alive!

May Terje "Valfar" Bakken rest in peace, we will miss you.

HILL!

Gje han evig kvile
Gje han sjelefred
Gje han sælt minne
Sakne e endelaust

Well said, Mundr. We will miss him, and remember him as a true national romantic genius.

Windir are amazing. RIP Valfar His soul still lives and I feel it when I listen to them.

BLODSVIK - (off of Likferd 2003) --> such a great song
All of their songs are great.

I am going to move to Norway after university. I am teaching myself Norsk at the moment. I can't wait to get out of Toronto, ON Canada!!!
There are many beautiful parts of Canada (ex. Newfoundland, British Columbia etc), but I hate extremely busy cities!!!

Anyway, talk to you all later.

I will attend the last ever concert to Windir: Farewell concert in honour of Valfar. I'll buy Windir merchanidse and 'Valfar, Ein Windir' 2 CD compilation.
