We are NIDHÖG. Adrian Nordli on vocals and guitar, Lukas Sørlie on drums, Jens Jamne on guitar and Erik Grimstad on bass. NIDHÖG was founded in 2020 by Adrian Nordli, Ruben Blindheim and Lukas Sørlie at Vigra, just outside Ålesund. At the time, the sound was a little softer with a lot of inspiration from the band like Soundgarden and other 90’s alternative groups. Later, in 2020, we shifted to focus on harder, uglier and a gloomier sound. Luke introduced us to music from Burzum, Mayhem and Darkthrone. These then became great inspirations for the band. After a while, demos, songs and agreements came with our current record company, Whispering Voice Records.
Unfortunately, in the fall of 2021, Ruben Blindheim (our then bassist) left the band after not feeling too much joy playing bass and metal. Ruben wanted to explore other styles of music, and now plays mainly guitar. After the loss of a bassist, we quickly got two new members, Jens Jamne and Henrik Vadseth (on guitar and bass respectively). We had already thought of more people, and Henrik was changed quickly for Erik Grimstad (our current bassist). Henrik is still in the band, but as a back-up bassist. Through all this, “Fjord” was written by Adrian and Lukas.

Fjord is intended as a comeback for second-wave Norwegian black metal in a sea of mass-produced modern metal project. Fjord holds a lot of inspiration from works from Burzum, Bathory, Death and early Mayhem records. Our music carries a lot of atmosphere, but also a lot of aggression. Those who love records such as Filosofem, A Blaze In The Northern Sky, Deathcrush and the like, are guaranteed to find something that takes them back to the style of underproduced 90s black metal in Fjord.
