VREID comments: "Into the Mountains is the essence of Sognametal, a hymn to Sogndal and a celebration of our ancestors and legacy. Late winter 2020 preparing for the new album, I went through my old recording hard discs and I found some old ideas for riffs that I had made in 2002. It was from a session between the 1184 and Likferd albums from WINDIR. I also found some unused keyboard parts recorded by Valfar from the same period. I could not remember these and became euphoric by rediscovering this. So, I blocked out the outside world, locked myself in the studio, and it instantly sent me 20 years back in time. I felt spellbound while working on this song. For a few days it felt like me and Valfar were working together in the studio again, and what a weird and fantastic session it was. The dynamic of working together with Valfar is something that I will always miss, and these strange days it felt like journeying into a lost time. The result of this session is “Into the Mountains”, a song that feels so pure, fresh and vital for us, yet with a great homage to our olden times. Life is a strange and curvy road."
@@KaosPCtech Hi mate! Can you please send a picture of your box with the number in the Sognametal FB group? We are trying to gather as many numbers as possible since this is a very exclusive limited box. Thank you! facebook.com/groups/sognametal/
Fantastic account. Now I was wondering what Valfar infuences were because I've recently listened to Windir's discography and the first two albums sound similar but the third and especially the fourth are kinda different. It might be my untrained ears but I was even able to hear some 70s and 80s electronic music influences on the fourth album. Could Valfar have exchanged some ideias about it with the guys of Enslaved or Ulver?
It's the same song structure as Journey to the end, the only difference is that Journey to the end is played in major and this song is played in minor. At least what I'm hearing.
@@Kratsac I agree. I mean, most of Vreid's musicians have been involved with Windir anyway. To transfer some of its influences to the other project is probably only natural. In this case, I found it super obvious though.
I do like how some of the commenters are missing the point of this being a concept album, #1, and #2 how Vreid is (mostly) the Windir band, without Valfar. And they purposely strayed a little ways away from that "Windir sound" because they didn't feel it sounded right without Valfar. The bands some of you are citing as "better Songnametal bands" are just ripping off the old Windir formula, and without the same soul behind it. But whatever, you all do you. This song kicks ass, and I've been enjoying the tracks from this so far!
The riffs are never on point on like they were from Valfar. The main riff is very similar to a Windir one but then gets into something very unconcrete. I think the only band that made very good Windir-like Metal is Vindland. They really nailed it. Everything else especiall from Sogndal did not do it unfortunatley in my opinion.

One does not simply not hear Windir in this.

Journey to the end vibe! I like it
Was listening on Spotify and immediately came here to find out if anyone else noticed this! I completely agree.

This is without a duobt a pesonal salute to Windir. Hell, Valfar even co-wrote the lyrics
Part II
100% true the fists note sounds like windir's song
Really beautiful and worthy tribute to the legacy of Windir and Valfar.
Valfar lives eternally ❤️

Windir at home:
Hahahaha this comment is gold. Cheers!
Sin duda alguna Excelente Bandaaaa un Homenaje completo al Windir la Banda más Brutal y que siempre mantuvo su ideología arriba El sognametal
The main riff is literally exactly "Journey To The End" by Windir.
And it’s beautiful.
Not exactly, but very similar. But hey, Black Metal doesn´t have to be inventive all the time

@@Killerfrosch321 I think it's a tribute to Valfar.
Most are members of windir. Stfu!

This song kicks ass, and I've been enjoying the tracks from this so far!

Windir comeback?
Symbolic poster behind the drummer has not gone unnoticed. I just ignored he also had a Metallica poster.
Windir?
Justice Flats
Valfar where are you??
I didn't know this band, but this is really good. BTW, the "real" Northwest is Seattle haha
North-west is a compass heading, which the last time I checked is something used all over the world, not just in Seattle
Sleep metal....
funny
Hmmm... This was awesome up until the bit where it became a Missy Elliot song...

Thanks, Vindland is a great recommendation.
Fake metal
Under what absurd definition this is fake metal?
cringe since Valfar's death
