The concept for SIG:AR:TYR came into being in 2003 as a musical project dedicated to the dark, grim history and mythology of Northern Europe. SIG:AR:TYR initially wanted to create very heavy and atmospheric music without the use of typical metal instruments such as electric guitar, bass, and drums. In late 2003, SIG:AR:TYR released The Stranger, a six song atmospheric journey revolving around the acoustic guitar and an accompanying short story about a mystical encounter with Odin.
