Vondur
One of the most bizarro black metal bands ever, Vondur was a
short-lived project featured the pair of All and It, who were
also the core of
Ophthalamia
and
Abruptum.
Even without hearing a single note, there are several clues as
to how warped these guys were, such as featuring Darth Vader one
one album cover, covering an Elvis song on another, and so forth.
And then there's the music.
Their only full-length album,
Stridsyfirlysing, is just plain
strange, featuring raw, primitive old-style black metal with a
buzzy guitar tone and guttural vocals (apparently singing in
Icelandic?), alongside assorted keyboard interludes and general
weirdness.
Then came the EP,
The Galactic Rock'n'Roll Empire, featuring
strange cover versions
(Elvis and Motley Crue!)
and more strangeness.
Some have written that Vondur was all about making fun of the
serious black metal scene, and it's hard to tell if this is true
or not, though it does make some sense.
As with any left-field band, Vondur has its small core of followers
amongst a larger set of people who just aren't going to comprehend
them.
An oddity to say the least.
The duo later retired from the music scene, with It eventually
moving on to the quite different
8thSin.
