| Band biography |
After several line-up changes the whole thing was put to rest in '96. The vocalist and guitarplayer Vintersorg, then decided to continue by himself, playing the other instruments as well.
The Mcd "Hedniskhjärtad", released in the summer of '98, was the result. And later that year a full length album "Till Fjälls" saw daylight. Vintersorg's passion for folk music was quite obvious and got even more exposed on the "Ödemarkens Son" album, released in '99.
For the latest release "Cosmic Genesis", Vintersorg wanted to explore new grounds to continue his journey. A more progressive and gloomy atmosphere was approached, as well as a larger variety of vocal styles and arrangements, nevertheless still keeping the old essence.
A second guitarist, named Mattias Marklund, is also part of the band nowadays. The two companions have played together for over ten years now, so it was a logical step.
The lyrical topics on "Cosmic Genesis" are thoughts, questionings and observations regarding the essential forces of the infinite cosmos, written with a philosophical touch. Theorems influenced by Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler.
A keyword for the whole album is contrasts... Contrasts between the harsh and the beautiful, the cold and the warm, the spiritual and the boldly, the earthly and unearthly.
