Formed in 2006, WANDAR emerged to cast a shadow over every ray of light creeping down from the heavens. Rejecting flashy posturing, the band has built its name on crafting incredibly dense and immersive atmospheric black metal. Rooted in Scandinavian tradition, shaped by representatives of the Cascade region, and ultimately refined through modern perspectives and uncompromising standards.
Torn between raging fury and pain-filled lamentation, teetering between erupting rage and melancholic powerlessness, WANDAR create a state of ominous suspension, a menacing intoxication that can be dangerously beautiful to succumb to. Their messages are full of melancholy, longing, and absolute passion. Coming from deep within crypts, with scarred hearts and bloody eyes.
Having shared stages with acts such as Watain, Helrunar, Taake, Bethlehem, Der Weg einer Freiheit, Imperium Dekadenz, Eis, Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult and many more, WANDAR have long proven their ability to translate this intensity onto the stage. Every show is a ritual; every ritual a wound that refuses to close and with "Tiefe Erde", WANDAR bring a long-evolving cycle to its inevitable conclusion.
