Vaakevandring is the debut EP by the Norwegian unblack symphonic black metal band Vaakevandring, released in 2004 through Momentum Scandinavia. It contains three re-mastered songs from their 1999 demo plus one additional demo track entitled "To Find Eternal Peace".[1]

The first three songs on Vaakevandring were produced in 1998-1999 by Stian Aarstad of Dimmu Borgir.[2] Keyboard is a dominant instrument on the EP, and the overall output is symphonic, epic, melodic and folk-influenced. "Fader Vaar" is an adaptation of the Lord's Prayer in Norwegian language. "Og Sorgen Stilnet I Smertens Vann" is also sung in Norwegian. "To Find Eternal Peace" was recorded in 2001 in Nannestad.[3]

Matt Morrow, writing for HM, compared the style on the EP to that of old Dimmu Borgir and Crimson Moonlight.[1] He rated the album a three out of five.[1]
