Keys of Orthanc continues with "A battle in the dark lands of the eye..." its epic black metal journey through the vast lands of Middle Earth.

The second album of the now Canadian two man project is all about the war of man and orc, between light and darkness in the gloomy lands of Mordor.

Hardcore thrashers insisting that Assassin´s two early demos were superior to the re-recordings of the very same songs that ended up on the band´s debut album The Upcoming Terror might have a point. When the first tape Holy Terror started to circulate at the beginning of 1986, it not only put Düsseldorf on the map of German extreme metal but was also an instant classic of Teutonic steel because the quintet married instinctive ferocity with an already impressive degree of musicality.

Considering that The Saga of Nemesis came out in April 1986, meaning just about three months after Assassin´s debut demo Holy Terror, the group had taken a big leap forward – not least regarding its production values, making the four songs plus intro an abrasion-proof set of thrash from a time when the German scene was maturing at a frantic pace.

WINDIR’s debut ‘Sóknadalr’ was released in 1997.
Whereas many bands take years to develop a signature sound, founding member Valfar knew the direction he wanted to take from the start.
One can immediately recognize the trademark Sognametal style from this cult classic, featuring the synth melodies combined with raw black metal, harsh and clean vocals, inspired by the sweeping views of the Sognefjord.

On WINDIR’s fourth and final full-length ‘Likferd’ (2003), many of the folk elements that characterized the band’s previous records were pushed to the background in favor of a stronger black metal influence.
The last record that Valfar wrote before he passed, ominously translated as ‘funeral’, marked a change to a much darker and brooding atmosphere. While ‘Likferd’ has mostly remained in the shadows of ‘Arntor’ and ‘1184’, it is an album that saw WINDIR mature and for that reason is another important chapter of the band’s legacy.

Regarded today as a hallmark in the folk / viking black metal scene, the influence of WINDIR’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 debut ‘Sóknadalr’ 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 is widely recognized as an inspiration for many folk / pagan metal bands today.

WINDIR’s third record ‘1184’ (2001) marked a stylistic change from its predecessor.
While the album is still very much rooted in black metal and heavily breathes atmosphere, Valfar and co-songwriter Hvall stared experimenting with electronic influences. Because of this, the album provoked mixed reactions upon its release.
Now, 20 years after its original release, ‘1184’ is seen as the album that pushed WINDIR to new creative heights and regarded by many fans as their absolute best.
