About
First, an explanation of the bandname: Vaakevandring means "to walk and wake up the people". And that's our goal. To wake people up from their apathy, and their denial of THE lifesource. We want to spread the word of Jesus Christ, the saviour.

Vaakevandring is a totally different kind of black metal band. Compared to Dimmu Borgir, Covenant, Emperor or Scaliach, for example, we are something completely different, but our musically influences are related. To straighten this out a bit, you could say that Vaakevandring play a sort of athmospheric epic black metal, with lots of synths and relaxing melodies.

Vaakevandring are from Norway,(you've probably already guessed) and by all means, we play the Norwegian type of black metal. I personally think that there is a huge variety in black metal, but you can distinguish if it comes from Norway or not.

An important distinction: Vaakevandring are not involved with the black metal scene, or the satanist image thing. We don't have the satanist or atheistic type lyrics, but the intensity of the music still grabs you and won't let you go.

By all means, we are not a Christian answer to Dimmu borgir or Limbonic art. Vaakevandring has a totally new concept of musical relaxation. We can blow your brains all over the floor with our norse-like style, or we can break your heart with our beautiful melodies. Vaakevandring are aggressive, yet melodic. To the most extreme Black metal fan, who only enjoys pure unmelodic evil music I can just say, stay away, this is not for you.


A little history
Alexander and Trond have played together in various bands trough the years. In 1996 they started a pop-band with Morten and a local guitarplayer, called "Lothlorien" (not to be confused with the black metal act with the same name). Lothlorien gradually became more heavy, and they soon changed the name to "Inertia". Trond switched from playing the bass to growling, and our second guitarplayer started playing the bass. After a while, Lothlorien got some internal problems because of religion. Our second guitarplayer (now a bass player) wanted to write about darker subjects. So, he quit.

Around the same time P?l and Ronny asked Morten if he wanted to join them in their project "Signum Crusis". They rehearsed once, and then they asked Alexander to join on the guitar. Now they changed the band name to "Korsferd". The line-up was now: Morten (guitar), Alexander (guitar), Ronny (bass) and P?l on drums. After a while, they decided that Ronny should concentrate on singing, so they asked Trond to join on bass. The band name was also changed to "Vaakevandring". And that's where we are today.
