Lyrics: Todeswalzer
Dying with sorrow not in hand,
Welcoming my gods, an equal I am
A travel awaits before me
Encircled as a God, dead as a man
An era has now ended
But a new era will come
While my destiny fulfits itself
I glance at the world with wisdom from the end
My efforts will now be rewarded
As I enter Kingdom Come
My hate will now get fatal for those that disapproved me once
With my misanthropic these soon brought to life
I'll see an definite end for week, feeble minds
As I die I'll go further, further than any other man
To obtain powers and wisdom as a God from the other end
My death will be revenged with fury of the damned
My eternal life will be praised by the gods at the end.
Wenn ich tot bin werde
ich weiter gehen
Weiter als jemals
Um Kraft und Weisheit zu erreichen
Wie ein Gott vom anderen Ende.

One of the few bands with a flawless discography

[@mystiquemetal]

even the demos are outstanding

[@i.c.s.scottex6237]

Every Windir album is amazing, I suggest you to listen to "Svartesmeden og lundamyrstrollet" by them

[@fabiohubert]

i love the live version of that song in the valfar ein windir uff such an amazing band

[@Antarath]

That song is THE song. It's a masterpiece. Maybe it's just me being norwegian, but I love the constant folk tones throughout the song (well, most of their songs). It's just Windir at their best. No-one else did it like them.

[@robertdemon3550]

My all time favourite song.

[@erlendsorli3235]

Norwegian here. This is actually a very respected band in Norway. The lead singer sadly died a few years ago making his way to his cabin getting caught in a storm.

[@growel3007]

I think you guys will love Journey To The End by Windir

[@Federico.el.Noruego]

That one is Great Greetings from Norway 🤘🤘🤘

[@youngsterjoey6040]

Thier best song!

[@theblackcat29]

Also “the blacksmith and the troll of lundamyri”

[@ChodeMaster]

@@youngsterjoey6040 the most overrated Windir song.

[@andresalbertoleosramos4296]

Ending

[@MrScientist90]

Thanks guys for this band. I love Windir. I discovered them a few years ago and I love it so much. Valfar was such an inspiration. Such a talented guy. When I listen to "Journey To The End" my thoughts are high above and I imagine that day when Valfar was backing home during the heavy snow storm and never returned. This song is the best ending for him. Rest in peace Valfar. And thank you guys. Keep it up with good taste of music :) \m/

[@atheist101]

RIP Valfar, you are missed. They say the good die young and in this case it's true. Watch the last show they did after his death. The big body builder that sings is his brother. Always brings a tear to my eye

[@indus.f]

Valfar, Windir, Sognametal is so fcking great ! This album is 19 years old anyway and it's still as good.

[@SardonicWrath]

So now that you've listened to one of their lesser (but still damn good) songs, you should move on to 'Saknet', 'Fagning' or 'Svartasmeden og Lundamyrstrollet'. You're in for something really special with those. Windir is the best band ever for me. They only ever released four albums, but every single one is 10/10. 'Saknet' was so special to Valfar they never performed it live, and I've heard they played the album version of it in the church during Valfars funeral. If you didn't know, Windir was a one man band for the first two albums, with the singer and songwriter Valfar as the only member. Then a band named Ulcus joined in to complete the lineup before 1184, so they could play live. When Valfar passed away Windir disbanded and the other members went on to start Vreid, who I know you've listened to before.

[@atheist101]

Didn't he also do his two demos when he was a teen? I remember reading somewhere he made the first demo at 15

[@SardonicWrath]

@@atheist101 He released the first demo when he was 17 I believe, but he may have spent a year or two making it for all I know. All I know is it's good stuff!

[@Rebella1337]

Windir.. OHH YEAH. This entire album is amazing. If you haven't heard it, I recommend "Journey to the end" from the same album c:

[@atheist101]

Every album is amazing, he never produced a bad song.

[@tlotredits]

"Arntor, ein Windir", "Saknet", "Fagning", three most incredible songs from Windir. Best band ever. Long live Sognametal.

[@JohnDoeSchmoe]

Goosebumps every time.

[@druid187]

ah the very first song i heard from windir..... i was hooked right away!... awesome band!

[@andreasyggdrasil3244]

So sad that Valfar passed away so early! 😢 All 4 albums are just incredible! I would recommend "Kong Hydnes Haug"! 🖤

[@josiasguiomar2504]

Thank you a lot!!!! I knew it! I can now die in peace!!! Check those keyboard bridges on other magnificent songs from Windir ;) As to the cover art, I think it is a menhir. You bet they used to apply different styles of music, going from Black Metal, Pagan/Viking Black Metal, Folk Metal, Classical (they have a looooot of hymns and anthem like tracks) and some hints of progressive here and there. I said "used" because after the death of vocalist (I think he was kind of a mentor to the band) Valfar, the band members spread away. Nowdays, you have COR SCORPII, a band which featured ex-members from Windir, and that kept their legacy playing a quite similar sound. They released a "recent" album (quite good I must say) after a period of 8 or 10 years (not sure) of hibernation. The album is called "Ruin". You will not be disappointed to check both: Cor Scorpii, and all the remaining Windir stuff ;) 1 grande abraço para os dois! Cheers guys!!

[@_69pegasus69_]

Vreid as well!!! I met those guys and they were just killer!!!

[@eugenioguasco2791]

Oh wow... a Windir reaction! Now reacts to Journey To The End!

[@fabiohubert]

the song Saknet is, for me, the best song they have... i recommend you that song

[@johannes2r]

I´m agree with you.

[@anetteridleyrodriguez]

Oh Journey to the end will take you places :) I have to point out that the singer sang clean Norwegian folk style vocals at one point of the song. His clean vocals are beautiful

[@luismetal09041980]

Personally, my favorite album by them. 1184 and Dance of Mortal Lust are standout tracks. Long live Valfar and Windir. lml

[@benbong4577]

I’ve recommended this for several years!! Now react to more from them :D

[@deathlikereviews6648]

Windir is perfect gotta love it

[@BrotVanHefe]

Journey to the End is a great song from them. also the band Mistur the song Attende goes in the same direction

[@maxxxalbums]

Heidra Windir, Heidra Valfar!!!

[@ronmackay8542]

Amazing band !

[@daxcorleto2138]

All Windir_1184 album is amazing I really feel the power of Thor inside of my head when I'm listening this album.

[@Solstafir-t4l]

The legacy of a wonderful and for me personally, the most beloved (with the Germans from the group HELLOWEEN) band in all metal music: COR SCORPII, MISTUR, SIGTYR! SOGNAMETAL is magic!R.I.P.VALFAR,R.I.P.WINDIR!I miss you so much!

[@ugubu5359]

The song is not sped up in that part up. They change the time signature from 4/4 to 2/4

[@_69pegasus69_]

Long live the mighty valfar!!!! He is Windir!!! Thank you guys for given them a shot!! If you want some real sogna metal, then listen to the song saknet!!! Or arntor ein windir!!!

[@brothernemiel6465]

I rarely laugh alone in front of my screen but that Bob Ross/Black Metal comment broke the dam XD

[@APREACTS]

That was pure gold.

[@eliisaac]

Should check out thier only DVD, its right after the frontman passed so his Brother does vocals on most of it, such an amazing DVD! Also you need to check out Rimfrost if you are starting to like this style, you will be steamrolled by the shear amount of riffs! I'll request them for next month on the patreon.

[@Carbonkraft]

Its a masterpiece.

[@satansbraten6665]

Valfar Danke für deine Kunst. Ich werde deine mustk immer schätzen . R.I.P. Wir sehen uns in Vallhalla🤘🤘🤘

[@Baumscheibenkunst]

I couldn't help staring at your beard as it seems to slip behind the "Wintersun" logo on your shirt

[@chlopen1]

I can't help but windir is my favorite band, RIP Valfar

[@thorstenlone9207]

Moonshiner is a illegal brewed Whiskey, right? Think I heard about it in some Irish Drinking Songs. :D Interesting, "Todeswalzer" is German and means "Waltz of the Dead", just in case you didn't know. You really hear the "old style" in this music, very Blackmetalish, but good tunes never get out of style.

[@takztak]

Please react to Windir - Journey to the End

[@enzosaldivar19]

react to more Windir songs. They are all incredible. Its sound is from another world

[@xappleysk8x]

it's ancient memorial stone, not a tree. this song got me into windir almost around 17 years ago!

[@zbigniewcwiakalski7253]

Windir = Windows directory ?

[@rykehuss3435]

Fuck off

[@frank3764]

Hey guys you should listen to Kroda - Cry to me, River. As good as WINDIR 🤘

[@nicolasvautravers4642]

At 2:07 the look in the eyes of the one with the beard is magic!

[@rykehuss3435]

See you in Valhalla, Valfar.

[@jasonberreto7065]

the best Windir song is "Kampen"... and you guys should check out a pretty obscure French band called Osculum Infame, their album "Dor-Nu-Fauglith" is incredible... and if you don't know the French band Blut Aus Nord, the first 2 albums "Ultima Thulée" and "Memoria Vetusta I - Fathers Of The Icy Age" are legendary

[@z0ttel89]

pretty sure that's not a tree OR a bush, it's a monolithic stone.

[@G.G14]

Awesome band. Btw it's a rock.

[@dodgrblu]

Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe

[@luismetal09041980]

And sorry buddy, it's a rock

[@APREACTS]

Thank you....How someone sees a tree in that is beyond me.

[@luismetal09041980]

@@APREACTS from Wiki: After a trip to Italy in 1820-1821 Johan Christian Dahl settled permanently in Dresden. There he drew a number of ideal Norwegian landscapes. From 1826 on, there was a change in his work reflecting new understanding for Norwegian landscape. Then he took a trip through Norway from Christiania to Telemark and Hardangervidda to the fjords of western Norway, his first trip to the mountains as a mature artist.[1] The motive was first drafted as a drawing during the trip. Steep slopes and vertical rock are depicted in the foreground. This painting is a tribute to the majestic Norwegian nature and the proud history of the nation
