One time I went walking around in the woods behind my grandma's house while listening to this album on my mp3 player. I found this little dried up pond with an old moldy dock stretching out into it. At this time, the beauty of this album really hit me. Contained were not just words and melodies, but landscapes morphed into songs and sounds. I don't think I've ever been more in tune with nature than at that moment. Shit was so grim and frostbitten.
Windir is a black metal band who sometimes get called Viking Metal or Folk Metal. Arntor is my personal favorite album mostly because it is heavy on the synths, accordions, and whatever instrument Valfar could cram in there creating an interesting collection of sounds that form a piece both aggressive and atmospheric.
