Rust In Peace: Vanir

Vanir were formed in the winter of 2009 in Roskilde. The band has from its birth been influenced by what its members came with in the creative process of song writing. A crucial point has always been the Viking inspired thematic and approach to metal music. Since Vanirs first album the band has undergone many changes both in line up as well as in the style and sound. As the band members evolve, and members have been replaced, so has the music taken a new turn. From being a folk music based metal band the is acoustic folk instruments are now tuned out in favor of a greater focus on the guitar riffing brutality of the metal soundscape and epic passages provided by strings and keys.
