Vardøger (band)
Vardøger was a Christian extreme metal band from Hamar, Norway. Formed in 1994 under the name Hidden Paradise, the members of the band at the time were all involved in other musical projects and so treated Hidden Paradise as a side project. Several songs were written between 1995 and 1997, almost enough for an entire album, and the band changed its name to Vardøger, but the group disbanded before an album could be released.

Vardøger reformed and eventually released an EP, '' Whitefrozen'', in 2003 through Endtime Productions. The recording was received well by critics and is considered a classic.
