About Glittertind

Glittertind is a Norwegian folk metal and rock band formed in 2001. Initially a solo project by Torbjørn Sandvik, it later expanded into a full band. They are known for blending traditional Norwegian folk music with elements of punk and metal, creating a unique sound that resonates with their cultural heritage. Their music often reflects historical and national themes.

The band's lyrics often delve into deep emotional and philosophical territory. Common themes include the emotional journey of soldiers returning home, the importance of community celebrations, the unity of people, and reflections on the passage of time and existential questions. These recurring motifs provide a rich, introspective experience for listeners, connecting personal and collective narratives.
