Background notes
Archive material and source history
Veldes formed in 2008 around Norwegian artist Ivar Thormodsæter. The band's sound pulls from folk, ambient, and electronica, with Thormodsæter handling vocals, guitar, and programming alongside Steinar Sverd Johansson on drums and Erlend Hjelvik on bass and vocals.
Their albums include 'The Old Country' from 2009, 'Withered Hope and Beauty' in 2012, 'Celestial' in 2015, and 'The Great Northern Silence' from 2020. A track like 'Watcher Of Fading Light' gives a sense of their atmospheric style, which often draws on Norway's landscapes and themes of time and loss.
Some listeners have found the music bleak, but Veldes has described it as an engagement with darker realities rather than pure gloom. Their work has appeared in some films and games, maintaining a following for its introspective, ambient qualities.
