Ildjarn was a raw black metal solo project from Norway that formed in 1992. Ildjarn recorded music until 1997 but did not officially end until 2005. The man behind Ildjarn was Vidar Vaaer, although some releases were collaborations with a musician known as Nidhogg. Ildjarn's music was a very simple, lo-fi brand of black metal, most tracks featuring the same, basic drum patterns, each track composed of only one or two riffs, and most tracks featuring unintelligible vocals in Norwegian. Some later Ildjarn releases were composed entirely on a synthesizer.

Of all the released music, the only Ildjarn song to have its lyrics published was "Eksistensens Jeger", from the self-titled "Ildjarn-Nighogg" compilation.

As of 2006, the band website stated that no more news would be printed, leading to the conclusion that Ildjarn had ended. The title of Ildjarn's 2005 release, "Ildjarn is Dead", further supports this conclusion. Part of Vidar Vaaer's motivation for ending Ildjarn was due to his 4-track recorder breaking (the same 4-track recorded used during Emperor's early days as Thou Shalt Suffer).
