Fjörd was created in late 2256 of the runic era (2006) by Wodansson (vocals, percussions, folk instruments) and Orgoth (guitars, bass). Inspired by pioneers in Folk/Viking metal like Storm, Hades, Bathory, Isengard and Falkenbach, the purpose was and never has been to “imitate” or jump in some kind of folk metal trend as it has become these days, but to simply create and play the kind of music which both artists loved and found inspiring to spirit, heart and soul. Striving for absolute originality was not our quest yet, amidst the tidal wave of pagan/folk/Viking metal bands that have emerged, Fjörd managed to distinguish itself with its own particular style. The debut album VOR TRU is a testimony to this.

 

In late 2009 Orgoth left the formation, thus Fjörd went through a dormant stage. After many months of inactivity and a few attempt to find a line-up, long time friend and multi-talented musician Evillair joined the clan in late 2010. At that moment, new material began to see the light again under a new dawn. Musically, Fjörd has matured again and stepped up to a new level of musicianship and Heathen epic grandeur which will be unleashed upon Midhgardhr.

 

Fjörd’s concept is of Traditional Odinism, devoted to the ancestral tradition and heritage, both cultural and religious, of northern Europe and its children wherever they may be on Midhgardhr. Our music promotes Pride, Honour, Strength, Wisdom, Courage, Tradition and the warrior spirit as bestowed to us by Odin All-Father. Through music and words, the nine noble virtues of our ancestors and their gods and goddesses are honoured and expressed for the Heathen souls to hear.

 

All symbols showed in the imagery of Fjörd are Traditional cultural and religious symbols sacred to the ancient tribes of Europe and still are to this day. These are not “modern” symbols of political propaganda.

 

For Troth, Folk and Gods.
