Wongraven is an ambient folk solo project by Norwegian musician Sigurd Wongraven, better name as Satyr of the black metal act Satyricon. Wongraven began in 1994 and released its debut album, Fjelltronen in 1995. Sigurd wrote and performed the bulk of the album himself, with guest appearances by Ihsahn (of Emperor fame) and Hans K. K. Sørensen.

Fjelltronen remains the only release from Wongraven to date and the project is currently considered to be on hold.

Sigurd "Satyr" Wongraven is a notable musician within the black metal scene and as such his Wongraven project has been deemed to be of interest to metal fans and is included in the MMA as a Metal Related artist.

Warthur
This side project from Satyr of Satyricon distinguishes itself from the various "dungeon synth"-style projects issued by black metal musicians in imitation of Mortiis' early solo work by the virtue of the presence of a range of other musicians, including Emperor's Ihsahn. Typically, this sort of album tends to feature only a sole performer, but here Satyr is able to invest the proceedings with a little more richness (in particular, some stirring choir sections), and a little more variety than is usual for this odd little subgenre. The upshot is that the blending of lo-fi dark ambient and lush folk music yields a unique mixture here, a blending of electronic and acoustic music traditions that lends the piece a distinctive atmosphere.
