Vananidr is a black metal band from Stockholm, Sweden, officially born in 2018, but with roots going as far back as the mid '90s, under the name Hydra. The band underwent several lineup changes along the decades, and in 2010 reformed under the name Synodus Horrenda, a monicker that guitarist and singer Anders Flame Eriksson held until 2018, when a new lineup was created under the name Vananidr. As of 2024, the band consists of Anders Eriksson on guitars and vocals, former Amon Amarth drummer Fredrik Andersson on drums, Per Lindström on bass and original Hydra founder Alexis Titan Xanthopoulos on guitars. In Silence Descent, Vananidr's fifth studio album, as the title suggests, is an exploration of darkness and despair, a vessel to a world beyond the grave. Along the eight tracks, melodies of pure Nordic melancholy mix with equal amounts of frenzy, frustration and suffering, crafting a perfect example of Scandinavian black metal. Vananidr's lyrics have always been of the very personal sort, exploring the darkness within and the utter disgust for humanity. The massive drum sound was captured in an old church at NBS productions (Necromorbus studio) by Anders Eriksson himself, who recorded the whole album.
