Definitely Windir, my favourite metal band ever.

But why does that tribute myspace have no songs from Arntor on it? Those wouldn't be my choices for a myspace.

Windir by miles.

there's myspace for Thinking Fellers...clearly the best band on here. Noble Experiment is the best of the two myspace tracks, but they don't really do justice to the incredible originality and diversity of this band's music over the years.

this short, introductory write-up from the wonderful Mark Prindle gives a good idea of what they're about, if you're smart enough to be interested.

Don't bother listening to that myspace. Just get hold of Arntor and give it a listen... their newer albums are more modern sounding, refined and also quite good. But Arntor remains my favourite and is probably in my top 5 of all time. To me it's ugly, yet at the same time, overflowing with unbridled beauty. I'd say Saknet, Svartesmeden and Arntor are the best tracks on it. I've said this before, but the part starting at 7:30 in Saknet is one of my favourite sections of music ever.

Yes, I'm a big Windir fanboy.
