VANANIDR

The first chapter to VANANIDR's story goes back to the late '90s from the bands Hydra, which released several demos and one full-length album titled ”Phaedra”, and Synodus Horrenda whose self-titled album would show the full potential of multi-instrumentalist Anders Eriksson. In 2017 VANANIDR is formed and together with drummer Thunder the band takes shape while recording their debut. VANANIDR wasted no time in releasing their follow-up album "Road North". Whereas the self-titled debut was largely somber, shadowy, and evoked a woodland mysticism, the aptly titled "Road North" explored colder and more unforgiving realms. With an ever-increasing momentum, VANANIDR returned with their third album, "Damnation". With Anders again leading the way, together with Rickard Silversjö on guitar and drummer Ljusebring, VANANIDR's "Damnation" suitably splits the difference between its two full-length predecessors - the solemn dynamics of "Vananidr" crossed with the more aggressive aspect of "Road North", if you will. And immediately, "Damnation" bursts forth with the now signature VANANIDR sound: an undulating snowstorm of whitehot melodicism, the spiraling violence spilling forth evenmore epic visions. And now, those visions retain the band's elder '90s classicism whilst imparting a sleeker, more modern atmosphere - gritty, urban, but wolfish and ever alone. After the recording of "Damnation" Ljusebring leaves the band, enter Fredrik Andersson as new drummer. 2020 also sees the addition of bassist Per Lindström.
