Slidhr is an enigmatic force within the underground black metal scene, known for its brooding atmosphere and relentless intensity. The project, which surfaced with discernible activity in the mid-2000s, is primarily the brainchild of musician Joseph Deegan, who hails from Ireland. Deegan, who has been involved with other acts such as Myrkr and Rebirth of Nefast, channels a visceral blend of raw aggression and intricate melodies through Slidhr, diving deep into lyrical themes that often explore darkness, chaos, and the esoteric.

After a string of initial recordings, Slidhr made a significant impact with the release of "Deluge" in 2013, an album praised for its ferocious sonic landscapes and complex arrangements. The band's discography, preserving a certain level of mystique, often eschews conventional release patterns and promotional tactics. This is evidenced by the multiple releases titled "White Hart!", which perhaps serves as an introspective theme or concept that Deegan revisits with evolving musical interpretations. "What the Gauntlet Bestows" and "Death of the Ego / Chains of the Fallen" are other recent offerings that carry forward Slidhr's hallmark of challenging the boundaries of black metal with an intellectually provocative approach that beckons listeners into a dark, yet introspective journey.
