Valfar's Death
On January 14, 2004, Terje "Valfar" Bakken went to his family's cabin at Fagereggi, Norway by foot. On January 17, his body was found at Reppastølen in the Sogndal valley. He died from hypothermia. He was buried on 27 January at Stedje Church in Norway. In March 2004 Windir officially disbanded.
A compilation album containing Windir outtakes and B-Sides, Valfar, ein Windir, was released in 2004 as a tribute to Valfar. On September 3, 2004, in Oslo, Windir's remaining members performed their last concert to go back to their roots and keep base with what they thought was real. Enslaved, Finntroll, Notodden All Stars, Weh, E-Head and Mindgrinder were the guest bands. Three bands would be formed by some of the remaining members of Windir; Vreid, Mistur and Cor Scorpii.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“The One remains, the many change and pass;
Heaven’s light forever shines, Earth’s shadows fly;
Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass,
Stains the white radiance of Eternity,
Until Death tramples it to fragments.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
