Overview

Glittertind is a one-man project where Torbjørn Sandvik is the driving force. The name Glittertind was adopted from the name of one of the highest mountains in Jotunheimen in Norway. Jotunheimen is a beautiful, majestic mystic mountain range. Torbjorn is a very young artist (born in 1985!) and a big lover of the vast nature of Norway. The music is romantic towards Norway’s nature and a bit traditional as well. Hidden folk tunes are everywhere! The force of Glittertind is somehow to modernize these ancient Folk melodies, spiced up with lyrics on historical occurrences, like on “Evige asatro” where the main theme of the lyrics is the christianization of Norway. Glittertind is not glorifying the past, but strongly stands for the belief that to understand the future one has to learn from the past. And in times of globalization the issue of knowing more about your own roots and past might be more important than ever before! The set the record straight, this does not mean other cultures or histories are less, this behaviour often linked to racism is not Glittertind’s point of view (nor the label’s). Glittertind is national romantic music, connected to Heathen beliefs combined with a love for Folk music, Punk and Metal, all in a Scandinavian jacket!
