Völur is a Canadian doom metal band based in Toronto, Ontario, signed to Prophecy Productions.
They play a hybrid style of doom metal and folk music while often incorporating jazz structures into their songwriting.
Völur was formed in 2014 by Lucas Gadke (Blood Ceremony), Laura C. Bates (ex-Trent Severn) and James Payment (Do Make Say Think).
Disir focuses thematically on these female Norse goddesses as told in "Voluspa: The Prophecy of the Seeress" from Poetic Edda.
[5] Their second album, Ancestors, incorporated more chamber folk and drone musical elements and thematically focused on male gods.
