Only just realised that an important landmark totally slipped by me earlier this year.

On 14 January 2004, Terje Bakken (better known as Valfar of Windir) died in probably one of the most metal ways ever: he froze to death. He was only 25.

Windir released only four albums, and they are some of the finest Viking metal albums ever made. Imagine what more Valfar could have done with Windir.


So yeah, I'm going to be listening to Windir's 4 albums, back to back, in chronological order, pretty much the whole day.
