Meine absolute Lieblingsband. Ich kenne keine andere Band die so unkonventionelle, eindringliche, schöne und doch knochenkalte Musik gespielt hat. Für mich ist das einfach die perfekte Mischung. Leider starb der Sänger Terje "Valfar" Bakken am 14.01.2004 und mit ihm die Band Windir.
Hier das offizielle Statement der anderen Bandmitglieder zu Valfar's Tod:

Sadly we have to inform you all that Terje ”Valfar” Bakken was found dead Saturday 17.1.2004.

Terje left his home Wednesday 14.01, when he did not return his family got worried and contacted the police. Saturday 17.01 our greatest fear was confirmed. Terje was found dead at Reppastølen in the Sogndal valley. It seemed as if Terje was on his way to the family cabin at Fagereggi. Due to the cold weather and deep snow the trip became much harder than Terje expected. When he realized that he would not be able to reach the cabin, he tried to make his way back down. Unfortunately he did not make it. Terje was found just above Reppastølen. Forensic evidence says that Terje died of hyperthermia. This tragic accident has made these times extremely difficult for his family, band members and friends.

Terje was buried at Stedje church Tuesday 27.01.

We hope you will respect his memory and let Terje’s closest mourn in peace.

A great man has passed away, but his music lives forever.

Hváll, Steingrim, Sture, Strom & Righ.

End of an era

The loss of our best friend and the founder of Windir have made these last months an extremely hard time. We have decided that Windir will not continue. Valfar created Windir, and we feel that Windir will not be Windir without him.
