Description:

Regarded today as a hallmark in the folk / viking black metal scene, the influence of WINDIRâ??s sophomore record Arntor (1999) is not to be underestimated and can be easily compared to that of BATHORY. The roots that put down with the debut SÃ³knadalr, were strengthened with this album. Combining icy guitar riffs and building atmosphere with epic melodies, Arntor is the album that introduced the band to an international audience and that is widely recognized as an inspiration for many folk / pagan metal bands today. -
