This song has such harsh and sweet tunes, a conglomeration where the sweetness is most agreeable for someone like me who totally despises melodies most of the time.
an absolute fucking masterpiece of human ingenuity. This will be heralded as a celebration of human ability and suffering and grief and humanity in general. The -present- is not ready for it, but the future will know it for what it is. Valfar and Windir are global treasures for channeling raw emotion and power and sorrow into pure music
It's so unfortunate... that Valfar died. This band was on the rise and would have kept growing. Windir was something original. But I understand that the rest of the band buried Windir with Valfar, it was HIS band, kind of. I don't think they could have kept Windir's "atmosphere" without Valfar. I am still a HUGE fan of Windir, it's one of my favorite bands. And the songs still provoke the same emotions as if it was the first time I heard them. Hail Windir.
Valfar was the engine in this machine. Windir were still a bit underground when he passed away, not many knew that Windir existed and there was not many tours outside Norway.
Several of Windir's songs are my favorite black metal songs. This is one of them. I love the bass in this song, but the arpeggio riff that begins at 1:05 and repeats throughout the song is fucking epic. In fact Valfar was reknowned for his arpeggio picking and that's a big part of why their songs are fucking awesome.
he inspired me to do my own solo project...if one day people like it one sixteenth of this i will be eternally happy..but nNO ONE COULD EVER COMPARE TO THE FEELINGS HIS MUSIC STIRRS INSIDE YOU...no matter what country your from.........OLYMPIA WA...USA
Despite not understanding a word, I can't stop listening to this song, one of the best metal pieces I've ever heard. This part that starts at minute 6:07 is so exciting I'd like to listen to it on repeat for hours
Most expressivenes atmosphere i've heard in my few years of life... certanly, after many years after this day, i'll the same respect about this grandiosity. Heil Windir ! Valfar, see you in Valhalla after my time here !
5:22 - this is where ecstasy starts...however, i hear imperfections in this live performance, hence i prefer the studio version, which is the true refined jewel
Fuck, i hate being born in 1995, all the good bands are either disbanded or one of their band members who was essential to the group has passed. R.I.P Valfar.
When he died in a desolate place I was sad. Really loved this guy's performance. I wondered how he talked here about a tragedy of a thousand years ago. Can someone tell me please? One of the best songs ever made. Big fan from Belgium.
His death wasn't perfect, he was walking to his cottage, a snowstorm hit and he froze to death. He didn't lay down to sleep in the mountains. The scenery might of cheered him up a bit, but for the most part it was a horrible death :(
When 5:22 starts.. i wonder how Valfar created that part.. As a musician my self. Was he on something like acid to create something so pure and genious? Hail Valfar For Life
@agnosticforce It could mean feigning. But since they are Norwegian they could have miss spelled it (No biggy, Allot of bands do from Scandinavia) From what i learned it means To give a false appearance
So what do you want to say with that? By the way, hypothermia is not a horrible death, you simply become unconscious after a while, but you don't feel anything, except longing for sleep.
As good as or better than(live).. : Mayhem, Immortal, Samael, Rotting Christ, Tiamat, Bewitched, Sepultura, Dark Funeral, Naglfar, Thyrfing, Emperor, Dimmu Borgir, Impaled Nazarene, Taake, Hypocrisy, Slayer, My Dying Bride, Dissection, Satyricon, Meshuggah, Entombed, Unleashed, Grave, Unanimated, Merciless, Saxon.. For a start at least..
No you noob. I am laughing because he made a joke about Dakota Fanning and you completely missed it. I don't listen to Avenged Sevenfold, i am a guitar teacher and i learned one solo at the request of a student so i could teach him.
I still find myself feeling very sad that Valfar is dead. He composed the best music I have ever heard in my life, truly touching work.
This song has such harsh and sweet tunes, a conglomeration where the sweetness is most agreeable for someone like me who totally despises melodies most of the time.
In my opinion this is the greatest song ever written...

Heil Windir !
Valfar, see you in Valhalla after my time here !
The original and incomparable Windir
windir is number one for me. sounds so good live too!
6:07
I am crying like a little bitch... Hail Valfar!
I cried like a woman when he died.
Hail Valfar! He had a perfect death: he layed down to sleep among his beloved mountains... This song contains the pure essence of black metal.
Epic! 2016 we remember you Walfar the Great! RIP
2024 and still the best
R I P ! fucking legend !!! we will remember.
still gold. cry when ilisten this. it my childhood when i 10 years old
Another great Windir track.
Sinduda alguna uno d los grupos mas reconosidos aki en mexico ...un clasico k jamas pasara ...larga vida al black metal melodico y viva windir
the DVD cannot capture the awesome of actually being at that concert. i woulda sold my middle sibling to see this show.
Sounds so fucking awesome live. Wish I'd discovered Windir a few years before when I actually did. :( See you soon, Valfar.
I remember reading on some translation page that Fagning means Longing.. I think maybe a handful of people in the world actually know what it means.
I can't deny it's fucking epic, rip valfar and may blizzard taken me out RIP
Fucking the BEST!!! RIP VALFAR
LOVE IT. RIP VALFAR. YOUR MASTERPIECES WILL ALWAYS LIVE WITH ALL OF US.
My fav song from the album ❤
Vila i frid Valfar, vi ses i Valhall!
the way they play the guitar in every song is so awesome and unique, like an eargasm :)
Rip Valfar. Such a great band it was
años de la muerte de valfar y todavia me cuesta creer que windir no volvera a existir...
I can't deny it.
Give Cor Scorpii a listen. It's made up of several former Windir members. They're carrying on Valfar's legacy.
5:22 - this is where ecstasy starts...however, i hear imperfections in this live performance, hence i prefer the studio version, which is the true refined jewel
miss you windir
so beautiful...
best windir song!!
wow. Guitar is PERFECT
nice song! Viking Metal so beautyful!
Thanks. I looked it up and had to go through a few pages but I found that out soon after I posted that comment. =)
Mega Song. Bombastisch !!!
Fagning Valfar ♥
Incredible. If you can catch Vreid live they’ll at least play “journey to the end”.
shout to the sture for awesome vocal
This is incredible! And great vocalist, too! Sture is very good-looking. Could someone please tell me a little more about him?
I think Sture right now has the best voice in BM
just epic
just my favourite song then there's Dans Pi Stemmehaugen
Outstanding!
amazing!!
Cor Scorpii and Vreid are keeping the flag high that windir once raised up :')
Hail
my respects from chile!
WINDIR IS PERFECT
Fuck, i hate being born in 1995, all the good bands are either disbanded or one of their band members who was essential to the group has passed.

might be because of this "Sverre is one of the greatest and most disputed kings in the history of Norway" but i guess only the writer knew
Requiescant In Pace Valfar
ah cool stuff man
Hail Valfar 🤘
O melhor viking metal...! windir foda para sempre!!!
i love 1:10 onward the lead is amazing
@Nordri i read someone else's definition in older comments which is similar to that. thanks
@agnosticforce Fagning means to praise someone (as far as I remember).
GOATED vid
Mão chifrada no show do windir 👆🤟🖖
AVE. VALFAR !!!
Damn 2:28 looks confusing as fuck on guitar. That lead is so epic, I love it
His death wasn't perfect, he was walking to his cottage, a snowstorm hit and he froze to death. He didn't lay down to sleep in the mountains. The scenery might of cheered him up a bit, but for the most part it was a horrible death :(
4:58 - EPIC solo :(
immortal
i know its not the same, but Cor Scorpii did a great job in Monument
When 5:22 starts.. i wonder how Valfar created that part.. As a musician my self. Was he on something like acid to create something so pure and genious?
Hail Valfar For Life
Self-titled debut? Windir's debut was called 'Sóknadalr'.
@agnosticforce It could mean feigning. But since they are Norwegian they could have miss spelled it (No biggy, Allot of bands do from Scandinavia) From what i learned it means To give a false appearance
Does anyone know the translation of the song title in English???
So what do you want to say with that? By the way, hypothermia is not a horrible death, you simply become unconscious after a while, but you don't feel anything, except longing for sleep.
the keyboardists head looks so funny bouncing around in the background.
For de fallne krigene \m/ }:> \m/
iqbal medan: Mostly mythology.
If anyone would be so kind as to translate the lyrics for me, it would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance \m/
R.I.P. Valfar
he has very good vocals! i mean that he had more control over his voice than valfar had, but i think valfar had a very own voice still ;P
Épico hail👌👍😎🌍⚔️🛡️🇧🇷🤟🤘📹🎤🎸🌨️
Opeth pela
he wrote his songs according to a myth written in the archaic Norse dialect, Sognamal.
Check the band Cor Scorpii
What does Fagning mean in English?
This is the kind of music I'll listen to death
who the fuck would unlike this??
Trve Black Mettall.
If you give me the norwegian lyrics for it, I'd be happy to translate it for you. Just email me via youtube :)

No you noob. I am laughing because he made a joke about Dakota Fanning and you completely missed it. I don't listen to Avenged Sevenfold, i am a guitar teacher and i learned one solo at the request of a student so i could teach him.
