The whole idea is to make music inspired by the nordic nature, folklores and myths. 'Kampfar' translates to Odin/Wodan.
After releasing a demo in 1995, their first release was the self-titled EP Kampfar, by Season of Mist in 1996 followed by full length Mellom skogkledde aaser by Malicious Records in 1997. Being a studio band, without spending time on live shows or tours and with no intentions to slow down they released another EP Norse in 1998, and full length Fra underverdenen in 1999 both on Hammerheart Records. Then there were 7 years of studio silence although they began to play their first live shows in 2004.
Signing to Napalm records, they released three full length albums on that label: Kvass (2006), Heimgang (2008), & Mare (2011). All were well received by critics and listeners alike. Thus completed their contract with Napalm.
Their next releases were two singles leading up to their sixth full length album, 2014's Djevelmakt released by Indie Recordings.

Kampfar Lyrics
Skyggeskrift med kråketær
Bjørnefot
Mesterrot
Krøklende og utmagret bein
Sliper tærer skriker gnur
Grovsaltet gråstein fra urtidens skall
Naken råtten krøklende men staut
Skyggeskrift med kråketær
Bjørnefot
Mesterrot
Krøklende og utmagret bein
Sliper tærer skriker gnur
Grovsaltet gråstein fra urtidens skall
Naken råtten krøklende men staut
Grafsende tinder gråstein og sult
Utmagret naken kravlende bult
Der tæres de nakne og besatt
Sliper tærer skriker gnur
Bjørnefot
Mesterrot
Naken råtten krøklende men staut
Skriker grafser pisker gnur
Slepes gjennom kratt og ur
Naken råtten og forslått
I en støvsky kald og rå
Kravler sulten tam og grå
Naken råtten og forslått
I en urkraft dyp og rå
Herjer kraften tung og grå
Naken råtten og forlatt
Skriker grafser pisker gnur
Slepes gjennom kratt og ur
Naken råtten og forslått
Anno anno anno Dazumal
Anno anno anno Domini
Anno anno anno Dazumal
Anno anno anno Domini
Bjørnefot
Mesterrot
Krøklende og utmagret bein
Sliper tærer skriker gnur
Grovsaltet gråstein fra urtidens skall
Naken råtten krøklende men staut
Skyggeskrift med kråketær
Bjørnefot
Krøklende og utmagret bein
Sliper tærer skriker gnur
Grovsaltet gråstein fra urtidens skall
Naken råtten krøklende men staut
Grafsende tinder gråstein og sult
Utmagret naken kravlende bult
Der tæres de nakne og besatt
Sliper tærer skriker gnur
Bjørnefot
Mesterrot
Naken råtten krøklende men staut
Skriker grafser pisker gnur
Slepes gjennom kratt og ur
Naken råtten og forslått
I en støvsky kald og rå
Kravler sulten tam og grå
Naken råtten og forslått
I en urkraft dyp og rå
Herjer kraften tung og grå
Naken råtten og forlatt
Skriker grafser pisker gnur
Slepes gjennom kratt og ur
Naken råtten og forslått
Anno anno anno Dazumal
Anno anno anno Domini
Anno anno anno Dazumal
Anno anno anno Domini

When I thought this band was already on their peak they release a darker and even more epic sound than the one in the previous record. Shivers down my spine through the whole song wow.
