Actually I love to listen to Windir’s “Journey to the end”. It’s quite an epic song with so much to discover every time I listen to it. The original version sounds like this:
And there are – of course – some good covers out there.
One I really like is from Tordenskrall:
I think especially the technoid background gives it a special kick
And there is a piano cover I just discovered. Very amazing although it’s too short
Everytime I listen to this song I imagine myself somewhere in the Norwegian wilderness walking some place I will live in peace without the disturbances of the modern civilization. Thanks Valfar for this wonderful peace of music!
So many emotions in this song. And what an amazing performance:
Ola Nordal was so nice to translate the Norwegian lyrics into English. Many thanks for that
The music of Windir is amazing. I loved it since I discovered this disbanded black metal combo. It is so sad that Valfar † died too young. I wonder what more ingenious music they would have produced. Nevertheless I discovered an Interview with Valfar on youtube which I have to share. But beware: black metal music in the background and the language is Norwegian which means most of you won’t understand what’s spoken but you will get the scent of it
Careful, this is about Metal. I love Enslaved right from the first time I listened to their music. It’s hard to sort their music to one metal style. I guess it is something inbetween of Black Metal and Progressive Metal. Anyhow their music sounds unique IMHO. One song of them I love especially is Path to Vanir. The song is about a dying person who is waiting for his death and to meet the gods of Vanir. The video is obviously made during winter The only bad thing about this song is, it is too short. Nevertheless especially the last 50 seconds are truly amazing. I could listen to this part over and over again.
