Hin Onde  

Hin Onde formed in 1996 and underwent some name changes (starting with Calm, later Svartalfheim, before settling on Hin Onde) and style changes before recording a demo in 1998, followed by Songs Of Battle in 2000. By this time they had dropped the doom/death influences of their early days and instead settled on a Viking/folk theme. Songs Of Battle is thus comparable to early works by Thyrfing or Einherjer, though they don't sound directly like either. Occasionally a bit of Celtic-ish sounds break through, somewhat like what The Lord Weird Slough Feg has succeeded at in the past. The album is a bit rough around the edges, but there are some fine melodies here, and a good sense of pace and variety. A second album, Shades Of Solstice, was released in 2003, but the band broke up some time afterward.
