Striðsyfirlýsing is an album by the Swedish black metal band Vondur. It was released in 1995 by Necropolis Records. The title means "Declaration of War" in Icelandic.

The booklet contains a modification of the "Stop the Madness Campaign" against the use of hard drugs, used by Roadrunner Records in the 1980s. "Never Stop the Madness: Drugs are no fun. Drugs endanger the life and happiness of millions. It must never stop. We appeal in particular to the youth of today. Don't stop the madness. There are better things in life.

Vondur support the never stop the madness campaigns for the use of hard drugs. Join us."

Vondur plays untuned.

The album cover artwork contains an image of Darth Vader along with a squad of imperial stormtroopers.
