Glittertind was founded in 2001 by Torbjørn Sandvik (b. 1985). Inspired by old Norwegian history and culture he made a sound blending folk, metal and punk which Tommy Udo (Metal Hammer) proclaims is:
“..A bizarre combination of folksy mellowness, hardcore punk riffing, Nordic power/thrash metal and winsome sea-shanty melodies straight out of Captain Pugwash..”
The name Glittertind, or "Glittering tine" in English, gives associations of vast and majestetic landscapes. The name is taken from a wellknown mountain situated in the heart of Norway – Jotunheimen. Many famous Norwegian artists and writers have got uncountable strong impressions from these enormous mountains and these same giants have a strong influence on the lyrical and musical concepts of Glittertind.
After several years trading underground demos Glittertind got signed on Karmageddon Media. This colloboration resulted in two releases. The debut-album “Evige Asatro” or in English, "Eternal Faith in Norse religion", was released August 2004.
