Hin Onde biography
Hin Onde formed in 1996 and underwent some name changes (starting with Calm, later Svartalfheim, before settling on Hin Onde) and style changes before recording a demo in 1998, followed by "Songs of Battle" in 2000. By this time they had dropped the doom/death influences of their early days and instead settled on a Viking/folk theme."Songs of Battle" is thus comparable to early works by Thyrfing or Einherjer, though they dont sound directly like either. Occasionally a bit of Celtic-ish sounds break through, somewhat like what The Lord Weird Slough Feg has succeeded at in the past. The album is a bit rough around the edges, but there are some fine melodies here, and a good sense of pace and variety. A second album, "Shades of Solstice", was released in 2003,
