Ildjarn

Norwegian Black Metal



Ildjarn was a black metal solo project from Norway that formed in 1992. Ildjarn recorded music until 1997 but did not officially end until 2005. The man behind Ildjarn was Vidar Vaaer, although some releases were collaborations with a musician known as Nidhogg. Ildjarn's music was a very simple, lo-fi brand of black metal, most tracks featuring the same, basic drum patterns, each track composed of only one or two riffs, and most tracks featuring unintelligible vocals in Norwegian. His unique style of black metal has been compared to the early, minimalistic roots of hardcore punk in its simplistic ferocity and shortness in duration of songs. Some later Ildjarn releases were composed entirely on a synthesizer.
