Ildjarn was a raw black metal solo project from Norway that features themes such as reverence for nature and hatred of humanity. The man behind Ildjarn is Vidar Vaaer, known to some as only "Ildjarn". Some Ildjarn releases are collaborations with the musician Nidhogg; these are credited under the name of "Ildjarn-Nidhogg". Black metal started in the early 1980s with bands such as Bathory, Mayhem, Mercyful Fate, and Hellhammer/Celtic Frost; as well as Venom to a lesser extent (due to their influence on Hellhammer/Celtic Frost). ...
As of 2006, the band website stated that no more news will be printed on the website, leading to the conclusion that Ildjarn has ended. The fact that the last release is called "Ildjarn is Dead" pretty much sums it up.

The earliest works from Ildjarn, and Ildjarn-Nidhogg, the artist plus one valued collaborator, capture these micro-atmospheres with the breathless sense of unexpected insight that suggests these were concepts penned in sudden moments lost in the beauty of a forest, or in the quiet insensible seconds before sleep overcomes.
Ildjarn confines the rampaging spontaneity of previous works into a release that resembles greatest success to date, Forest Poetry, in that these songs are almost deliberate sounding in refinements to musicianship, even in the art of making noise.
While these are great to hear for the Ildjarn historian, their value on a daily listening basis is questionable, as their inclusion lengthens an abrasive listen already composed of 27 micro-songs, all poetic but some in an almost binary capacity, and forces the listener into a drone endurance test.
Ildjarn reached its culminating point in 1996, releasing 3 albums which were for the most part recorded in the latter stages of 1995.
In fact, in 1997, Ildjarn along with fellow ally Nidhogg were in the making of new ambient material in the vein of Landscapes although this time giving way to a more professional result and with no improvisation at all put into the composition.
Many of the old Ildjarn cds on NLP, including the S/T, Det Frysende Nordariket and Landscapes, became available via Ildjarn himself, mainly due to a sudden demand for the old material and a need to get rid of the cds which were kept stacked in the NLP basement during many years.
