Seidr are an atmospheric doom collective hailing from various parts of Kentucky, though the band also draws elements from folk, death metal and black metal. Initially forming in Louisville circa 2009, the band managed to incorporate a host of other Kentucky musicians throughout the years. The core members of the group since their inception have been Austin Lunn and Wesley Crow.
From their birthing the band managed to tour the United States on several occasions and released two studio albums, the second of which being a near 90-minute double album.
Seiðr is, according to both the Poetic, the Prose Edda and later Sagas, an Odininc form of old Norse magic, often used to cause harm or injury. The band as a whole manages to draw inspiration from Nordic folklore.
