There are at least three very different artists that go by the name Günther. One is a highly-sexualized Swedish pop singer (pictured left), the second is a symphonic rock trio from Calgary whose "Rock digs deep into an abyss of tonal expanses and constructs an impenetrable wall of resonance and covetous frequencies" and finally Gunther from Lebanon who's an Electronic music DJ. The beginning of this article focuses on the former, and for more on the latter visit http://guntherrock.ca. <a href="h

Gundaharius or Gundahar (died 437), better known by his legendary names Gunther () or Gunnar (), was a historical King of the Burgundians in the early 5th century. Gundahar is attested as ruling his people shortly after they crossed the Rhine into Roman Gaul. He was involved in the campaigns of the failed Roman usurper Jovinus before the latter's defeat, after which he was settled on the left bank of the Rhine as a Roman ally. In 436, Gundahar launched an attack from his kingdom on the Roman province of Belgica Prima. He was defeated by the Roman general Flavius Aetius, who destroyed Gundahar's kingdom with the help of Hunnish mercenaries the following year, resulting in Gundahar's death.
