Additional notes
Windir is an ancient Norse word, translatable as "warrior". Most of the band's early albums featured lyrics written in the Sognamål dialect, a Western Norwegian dialect that is spoken in the area of Sogn.
Windir broke up in March 2004 after Valfar died of hypothermia after becoming caught in a blizzard on his way to his family's cabin.
The band performed their last concert in Oslo on September 3rd, 2004 in honor of Valfar. Enslaved, Finntroll, and Mindgrinder were the opening bands.
The remaining members formed Vreid and Cor Scorpii.
