The Flight of Sleipnir is an American doom metal band from Arvada , Colorado that was formed in 2007.

history

The band was formed in the winter of 2007 by David Csicsely and Clayton Cushman. The name refers to Sleipnir , the horse of Odin . In 2008 a first demo followed under the name Wisdom Calls for Sacrifice . After the release, the band's first concert followed at the winter solstice . Since then, a concert has been held annually on this date. The band then began work on their debut album, which was released in 2009 under the name Algiz + Berkanan on No Colors Records . Another album followed in 2010 under the name Lore . The albums Essence of Nine (2011) and Saga were then released via Eyes Like Snow . This was followed by a change to Napalm Records , about which V. appeared in 2014 .

style

Nadine Fiebig wrote in Blast! The Nuclear Blast magazine about V. that there are " progressive arrangements , rustic Doom riffing and ethereal, blackened melodies". Melanie Aschenbrenner from Metal Hammer stated in her review of Saga that the band orientated itself strongly towards Agalloch , especially at the beginning . Over time, however, the band has "gradually become quieter, more filigree and acoustic, but also a whole lot more repellent". The music is no longer pure Doom Metal, but is enriched by Stoner Rock , Folk Metal and Progressive Metal.
