Glittertind is a Norwegian indie folk-rock band, which started up as a one-man project in 2001 featuring Torbjørn Sandvik as the driving force.

Glittertind started out as a one-man project where Torbjørn Sandvik released Evige Asatro (2004) and Til Dovre Faller (2005) on the Dutch label Karmageddon Media.

During the work with the album, Torbjørn's girlfriend got life-threatening cancer, and he found great comfort in feeling a sense of common despair with these writers from the 19th century.

The song "Sprekk for sol" (Burst by Sun) was dedicated to one of the Utøya victims, Torjus Jakobsen Blattmann, and his engagement against hate ideologies.

But with these dark forces a strong counter-force emerged and values like freedom, social justice, tolerance and solidarity became more apparent for people than ever.

The song "Enno nær" (Still Close) is dedicated to Torbjørn's grandmother and to the fishermen's wives who earlier were the "glue" in the Norwegian coastal society.

The song "Draumen" (The Dream) is describing a meeting between Torbjørn and Per Sivle's poem "Vår-von" (Spring Hope), from the 19th century.
