BIOGRAPHY
History of Ulfdallir began on the eve of Yule in 2014 (December, 20), when Auðunn - vocalist and bass player, and one of the founders of MDM-band Envenom, decided to gather like-minded people and create viking- / melodic death metal band. It was due to the fact that most staff of Envenom did not see their creation in this (Scandinavian) category. However, it didn't stop Auðunn, and together with Asleifr and Hafrgrim, they created a new band.
In December of 2015 it was decided to invite for recording an old friend of Asleifr and Auðunn - Ragonar. It was caused by necessity of relieve tension from the musicians (originally, guitar parties was to play Asleifr). In early January of 2016, after the year's break, due to different circumstances and difficulties, the band started to record their debut album. Despite the impressive delay, work on the material didn't stop. Coming up new riffs, lyrics and even the composition as a whole, refined and reworked already existing material.
May 18, 2016 to Ulfdallir joined drummer Sigurðr, instead the digital Sven. The band started rehearsals.
July 15, 2016 released the long-awaited album "Fenrir's Wrath".
At the last of 2016, Asleifr was fired and 4 other members began to prepare for concert activity. After 6 months of searching for a guitarist instead of him, co-founder and lead guitarist of legendary Russian funeral doom metal band Comatose Vigil - Alexander Orlov (Asbjörn) joined the band.
Throughout 2017, the band actively rehearsed and performed live in local clubs. The fall of 2017, the choosen single from the debut album was fully re-recorded, but it was released only 3rd August 2022 - "Сын Одина (re-recorded 2017)". At the same time, due to personal reasons, Ragonar and Sigurðr left the band. Despite the line-up losses, the band continued to actively develop, and switched to writing new material.
Over the next three years (2018-2020), more than 14 new songs and dozens of new ideas and riffs were written. It's time for new studio sessions, the search for new sounds and the use of new technological capabilities of the band.
The first release of the new era was the EP-album "Ulfhedinn" released on December 20, 2022.

The name of band chosen not accidentally. The Elder Edda says that in the Wolf's Valley lived three brothers. It echoes with symbolic number of founding members. Later the founders became twinned.
