专辑介绍
by Eduardo Rivadavia
In what surely stands as one of the cruelest cases of life imitating art in recent memory, Windir leader Terje "Valfar" Bakken died under circumstances eerily similar to the stories frequently recounted in his songs: frozen from exposure while hiking in the wilds of his native Norway. That his former bandmates took it upon themselves to honor his memory with 2004's career-capping release, Valfar, Ein Windir, is thus testament not only to the man's popularity, but his commitment to his craft. It's also an absolute treat for Windir fans and Scandinavian heavy metal enthusiasts in general, being part tribute album and part collection of odds and sods drawn from various stages of the group's decade-long existence. First up are four 2004 studio recordings performed by Windir's surviving members: three of them originally set for an album that will now sadly never be completed (including the wonderfully eccentric symphonic thrasher "Stridsmann") and one being Valfar's first-ever composition for his group, the surprisingly strong, mostly instrumental "Dans Pa Stemmehaugen." Next are five Windir covers performed by artists as distinct as avant-garde black metal soulmates Enslaved, folk-metal party animals Finntroll, techno-house raver E-Head, gentle acoustic players Weh, and the maniacally vicious Notodden All Stars (an improvised black metal supergroup comprised of Cosmocrator, Samoth, Trym, and Invictus). Then it's on to a pair of live recordings from 2003, the first album epic "Svartasmeden Og Lundamyrstrollet" and the final album masterpiece "Blodssvik," before concluding with a couple of rarities from 1995's Sognariket demo -- Windir's first recording. Candlelight Records' version of Valfar, Ein Windir ends here, and really does so with no complaints, but fans wishing to sample a second disc's worth of "greatest hits" should seek out the Tabu Recordings form of this release. Whether they pick one or the other, lovers of extreme but inventive heavy metal simply cannot go wrong with Windir's legacy -- RIP Valfar.

- @迪(感谢虾米，永远记得。)：Windir是来自挪威Sogndal的一支具有维京元素的黑金乐队。成立初衷是由于创始人Valfar不想让自己的音乐创作受到他人的束缚，北欧的敌基督情结 很多乐队投向了撒旦的怀抱，在盲目的跟风中丢失了自己的特点。Valfar在1994年便厌倦了这种音乐，撒旦不应该是维京的子孙歌颂的对象；作为一个光荣的武士的后代，奥丁才是金属赞歌中的主角 Valfar开始了独自创作之路；并以挪威语中的“武士”一词Windir作为个人计划的名称 Velfar主唱因为高热病离世后 Windir乐队键盘手Gate Refsnes组建了乐队For Scorpio(蝎子的心）。随后Windir主音吉他手和鼓手相继加盟。
