Windir "Sóknardalr"

Sóknardalr is the debut studio album by Norwegian black metal band Windir. It was released in April 1997 through the Head Not Found record label.

Sóknardalr is the old Norse name of Valfar's hometown Sogndal. The lyrics are written in the Sogndal dialect, and the song titles in Nynorsk, the official written form of Sogndal municipality.

"Mørket sin fyrste" is the re-recorded version of a song from the Det gamle riket demo called "Mørkets fyrste". "Røvhaugane" also showed up on that demo (in an early form, but with the same title). The bonus track from the reissue of that demo was an early version of "I ei krystallnatt" called "Krystallnatt".

Comes with a 4-page booklet.
