Windir
Windir (transl. Warrior) was a black metal band from Sogndal Municipality, Norway, formed in 1994 by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Terje "Valfar" Bakken. They released their debut album, Sóknardalr, in 1997.
Windir produced four albums in nearly ten years. The band broke up in March 2004 after frontman Valfar died of hypothermia during a blizzard on his way to his family's cabin in Norway. Following his death, the remaining band members formed several bands, including Vreid, Mistur, and Cor Scorpii.
