Biografie van Vintersorg
<b>Vintersorg</b> (pronounced ''['v?nt?r 's?rj]''; "Winter Sorrow" in English) is a Swedish folk/viking black metal band from Skellefte, Sweden, formed in 1994 under the name <b>Vargatron</b> (<b>Wolfthrone</b> in English). Lyrically, the band deals with topics on fantasy, mythology, nature, the cosmos, and metaphysics. Vintersorg means "Winter Sorrow," but the name was taken from the Isfolket series by Margit Sandemo, where the character Vintersorg is the son of a great pagan leader.<br />

The project was originally formed in 1994 to "push the limits" of black metal music, where the vocals are mostly clean sung, and only a few parts per song that had the traditional screaming vocals. The sound of Vintersorg has vastly changed over the years, as their earlier sound had more of a folk influence, and later on, more of an experimental sound. This transformation was most notably marked with the release of the ''Cosmic Genesis'' album, and the change in sound progressed from album to album, with the 2004 album ''The Focusing Blur'' being an extremely avant-garde album. Notably, the vocal styles have shifted quite noticeably throughout Vintersorg's existence, with "Cosmic Genesis" featuring low-pitched clean vocals with the occasional Viking growl, and "Solens Rtter" featuring more high-pitched and melodic vocals.<br />

Along with this change in musical style, the lyrical topics began to shift as well. In the past, the lyrics were all sung and written in Swedish, and dealt with topics of nature and paganism. With the advent of ''Cosmic Genesis'', the lyrics were now written and sung mostly in English, and now dealt with scientific ideas and philosophies such as metaphysics, astronomy, and astrology. In the ''Cosmic Genesis'' booklet, Vintersorg extends thanks to Dr. Carl Sagan, author of the book Cosmos.<br />
