Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Sóknardalr is the debut studio album by Norwegian black metal band Windir. It was released 23 March 1997 through the Head Not Found record label.
Sóknardalr is the old Norse name of Valfar's hometown Sogndal. The lyrics are written in the Sogndal dialect, and the song titles in Nynorsk, the official written form of Sogndal municipality.
AllMusic described the album as " layers upon layers of keyboards and guitars on an almost unprecedented scale (mid-period Bathory being the one obvious inspirational touchstone), culminating in sweeping, mini-symphonies", featuring "synthesizer melodies would become signature Windir hallmarks."
