Skellefteå, Sweden (1994 – present)
Vintersorg is a Swedish Folk/Viking/Progressive Metal band formed in 1994 in Skellefteå, Sweden under the name Vargatron (Wolfthrone in English), but was later changed to Vintersorg.
The sound of Vintersorg has vastly changed over the years, as his demo and first three albums, Hedniskhjärtad, Till Fjälls and Ödemarkens Son being folk/viking metal with black metal influence where their more recent albums, Cosmic Genesis, Visions from The Spiral Generator and The Focusing Blur are more progressive and influenced strongly by 60s/70s prog rock. The latest album Solens Rötter took both the folk and progressive sound and mixed it into a more unique style.
The name “Vintersorg” has often confused people in the metal scene due to it being the BAND name and the NICKNAME of the front man and composer, Andreas Hedlund. The actual band Vintersorg consists of Andreas Hedlund and Mattias Marklund, with regular appearances from Jan Erik Torgersen, Steve DiGiorgio, Asgeir Mickelson and Lars Are Nedland.
Andreas Hedlund (Vintersorg/Mr.V) is constantly creating music. He is the front-man of several bands including Vintersorg, Otyg (folk metal), Borknagar (progressive black metal), Havayoth (gothic metal), Fission (melodic death metal), Cronian (progressive metal), Waterclime (progressive rock/jazz) and Cosmic Death (black/thrash/death metal).
The name Vintersorg means “Winter Sorrow”. It’s a character from the Isfolket series, by the author Margit Sandemo.

"Tagged as "slavic pagan metal", lolwat." Someone tagged Vintersorg as 'Finnish' too. How dumb.

What is a good album to start with? I love Vintersorg's work with Borknagar, but somehow never looked into his solo stuff.

If you love Till Fjälls I really think that you should buy Ödemarkens Son too. It's amazing and it really got the same old atmosphere as Till Fjälls do.

Can anyone tell me if it's worth spending the buckaroos to get Ödemarkens Son? I only have Till Fjälls, but love it.

Mr.V updated that he's written some new Vintersorg songs and completed a new Waterclime album, so here's hoping we get some new Vintersorg material within the next fiscal year.

I've being some rough amateur translation of some of theirs lyrics, and I'll be truly disappointed if it's not as amazing as my translation of the chorus Vildmarkens Förtrollande Stämmor made it be like, all that stuff about the sun inspiring the falcon to soar into the skies, fabulous
