It all started in a cold winternight in 2003.Arnjeir (a.k.a. Reven) from Fortress of Grief, wanted to start a project with only himself.It started slow, but after some months Arnjeir had made a couple of songs for his first demo "Yggdrasil".But after the tragic death of "Valfar" from "Windir", Arnjeir decided to make a tribute to Valfar.
Late 2004 Arnjeirs tribute album "Valfar, ein ekta Windir" to Valfar was finnished.Right before the release of the tribute, Arnjeir decided to only release 20 copies,and to give all the copies to the rest of the members of Windir and to Valfars family.
Right after the tribute to Valfar was released Arnjeir started composing new songs for a debut album.
Then Arnjeir got a gig early 2005 on "Hamar Metal Festival".
With help from 5 friends, Arnjeir did a 4 songs tribute concert to Valfar.
On the concert Arnjeir played 2 songs from his upcomming album.
He also recorded those 2 songs and sent them to Record labels, and got a record deal with Deadsun Records.
After the concert ARnjeir finnished composing the music for his debut album.But cause of lack of time and money he never got to go to the studio to record it.
After the summer 2005 Arnjeir quit in Fortress of Grief and decided to finnish his first demo "Yggdrasil".
"Yggdrasil" was recorded late September with 4 songs & 1 bonus song.
Fauk from Hordagaard did the vocals on "Aasgard".Trond F. Helland from Helland did the vocals on the 3 last songs.
And Arnjeir did some vocals on "Niflheim" and all the vocals on the bonus song "Selvmord".“Yggdrasil” was suposed be edited by MDR from Portugal in December 2005, but this just happened in March 2006.
Arnjeir is now trying to get money to record his debut album.
