History

The band was formed in 1991. The band's music was a very raw, fast, simple and lo-fi brand of black metal, with most songs composed of basic drum patterns, a couple of riffs, and unintelligible vocals. The band's style has been compared to hardcore punk in its simplistic ferocity and short song lengths. Two Ildjarn albums were made entirely on a synthesizer. Of all the released music, the only Ildjarn song to have its lyrics published was "Eksistensens Jeger", from the self-titled Ildjarn-Nidhogg (2003) compilation.

In 2006, the band website stated that no more news would be printed, leading to the conclusion that Ildjarn had ended. The title of Ildjarn's 2005 release, Ildjarn is Dead, further supports this conclusion. Part of Vidar Vaaer's motivation for ending Ildjarn was due to his 4-track recorder breaking (the same 4-track recorder used during Emperor's early days as Thou Shalt Suffer).[1]

The related band Sort Vokter consisted of Ildjarn, Nidhogg and two other members known as Tvigygre and Heiinghund. They released only one album called Folkloric Necro Metal.

Ildjarn fue un grupo de black metal originario de Noruega, fundado en 1992 por Vidar Vaaer, alias Ildjarn, único miembro del grupo durante la mayor parte de su historia, exceptuando colaboraciones puntuales. Los primeros discos de Ildjarn hacen gala de un black metal crudo fuertemente influenciado por el punk, mientras que los posteriores son exclusivamente ambientales. La música de Ildjarn era muy simple, las canciones estaban compuestas a base de patrones de batería, un par de riffs y voces ininteligibles. Sus temas tratan sobre la naturaleza y el repudio a la humanidad. El grupo se disolvió en 2005, tras la publicación de un recopilatorio con un título muy elocuente: "Ildjarn is Dead".

Ildjarn (Ильдъярн) — сольный музыкальный проект Видара Воэра (норв. Vidar Våer), основанный в 1991 году. Часть работ была записана в соавторстве с музыкантом под псевдонимом Нидхёгг (Nidhogg). Проект был активен до 1997 года и прекратил своё существование в 2005 году. Часть релизов Ildjarn представляла собой блэк-метал с неразборчивым вокалом и низким качеством записи, другая часть — эмбиент. Альбомы Landscapes (1996) и Hardangervidda (2002) были записаны с использованием исключительно синтезатора.
