| 4.5 superb | Shadows | December 23rd 06 |
Windir rapidly became more and more intricate as time went on. Prior to Valfar's death, their once raw style of black metal became a rather enchanting display of cultural black metal. With vocals performed in the band's native north Norwegian dialect, heavy synth work, and folk-themed guitar riffs, 1184 can easily be considered Windir's crowning achievement. The flowing sweep guitar melody of Todeswalzer precedes the heavy nordic-sounding Dance of Mortal Lust. Songs such as the crushing Spiritlord and tribal-esque Destroy offset the mix, adding a viking feel to the already unique brand of Norse black metal. Though Windir's second album, Arntor, can be argued as their finest, 1184 features the finest blend of extreme metal, fancy musicianship, folk themes, and clean production that the band would achieve in their four-album career.

1184 is a fantastic album. It is best described as black metal with elements of power and progressive metal. The production is clear, contrary to most black metal, and the songs are never repetitive, also contrary to most black metal. The vocals are strong and piercing and the songwriting is excellent ("Dance of Mortal Lust," "Journey to the End"). Unfortunately, this was Windir's penultimate album. The band dissolved after frontman Valfar's tragic but extremely black metal death: he died from hypothermia while walking through a snowstorm in a forest.
