BiografieFORTID AKA FORTÍÐ

Formed in Iceland 2002 as the solo project of E. Thorberg, AKA Eldur, with the main purpose of putting one of the most important Ásatrú literature; Völuspá, into musical form, to honor the old ways. This was to be done in the form of a trilogy. In 2003 the debut was already out through No Colours Records entitled "Völuspá part I: Thors Anger". Due to this being a side project at the current time, the second album "Völuspá part II: The Arrival of Fenris" did not come to reality until in January 2007.



2008

Eldur moved to Norway to change FORTÍÐ into a full lineup band, and while searching for the right people, he finished the last part of the trilogy; "Völuspá part III: Fall of the Ages". In December 2008 he met up with D. Theobald from England, who had moved to Norway with like minded creative vision. He instantly showed interest and joined in on drums. In April, FORTÍÐ had recruited two Norwegians, Ø. Hansen on guitar and G. Refsnes on synthesizer and two
months later R. Jonsson from Sweden joined in on bass, as the 5th member.



2009

In August the first ever FORTÍÐ show was held in Oslo and in December the band signed a contract with the German label Schwarzdorn Production.



2010

The band played few shows in Norway, including the 10 year anniversary of Inferno Festival. Völuspá part III: Fall of the Ages was released 26th of March. The album got very good reviews by critics and it marked a turning point in FORTÍÐ's history. In April FORTÍÐ entered studio for the first time as a full lineup band to record a 3 song pre-production promo. In June, the band did a small tour in
Iceland and in December FORTÍÐ was back in studio to
finish the next album entitled "Pagan Prophecies". Quelle: http://www.fortidofficial.com/Discografie2003 - Völuspá Part I: Thor's Anger
