| | Vintersorg's first 3 recordings were exclusively in his native Swedish tongue, with the past two records adding English into the mix for about a third to half of the songs. | | | One other thing to mention is that Vintersorg's vocals are rarely that deep sound he made his mark with on previous albums. | | | Vintersorg's new sound is an odd mix of progressive and, well, astral is the only way that I can describe it. |

| | BNR Metal Pages -- Vintersorg |
| | Vintersorg's midrange vocals are unique (the closest comparison might be Dan Swano's clean/non-death style), he is a fine vocalist and a very good songwriter, as the songs have none of the self-indulgence one might expect from a one-man band. | | | The band eventually folded, but Vintersorg (the man) decided to continue with some of the band ideas, and so Vintersorg the band was born. | | | The origins of Vintersorg the band come from a band called Vargartron in 1994. |

| | Vintersorg - Satan Stole My Teddybear |
| | Vintersorg, the project, is a mix between folkish elements, classic metal riffing (of which Vintersorg, the guitarist, has many in his songwriting arsenal), clean and rasped vocals, and minor orchestration effects. | | | Whatever else you can say about Vintersorg, the guy can put together an album's worth of songs that flow well, continually give the listener a feeling of progression and become memorable in a hurry. | | | All in all, this Vintersorg EP is a nice foray into what I call Gray Metal (not black metal by common definition, but having a lot of elements of the style) and recommended. |

| | Produced by Vintersorg and Nils Johansson, the album featured the guest musicianship of Vargher (keyboards), Cia Hedmark (vocals on Svältvinter and violin on Månskensmän), and Andreas Frank (lead guitar on tracks 1, 5, 8, and 9). | | | Vintersorg's passion for folk music became obvious with this release, as with the follow up, Ödemarkens Son (1999). | | | Recorded during different periods, late 1997 and beginning of 1998 in Spiff Studios and Wolf's Lair, the album was engineered by Vargher (Wolf's Lair), Johny Mikaelsson and Vintersorg (Spiff Studios), mixed by Ford Berglund and Vintersorg, and mastered at Ballerina Audio by Nils Johansson. |

| | Furthermore, Fission is far more consistent from song to song than most Vintersorg albums, and Crater does not fall into the trap of splicing together components of a song in artificial ways, so often the bane of Vintersorg solo releases. | | | The guitar work is excellent, Vintersorg’s harsh vocals are awesome, and good riffing and drumming lay the foundation for a welcomed guitar solo. | | | The typical Vintersorg pattern of a fast pace song component aligned to Vintersorg’s harsh vocals which then breaks off into a slower, more melodic chorus and clean vocals is also a pattern employed often by Fission. |

| | Here Vintersorg takes on a multi-layered musical approach whereby the instruments are forced to follow the rapidly complex lyrical pattern, however, the base musical structure still continues in the background. | | | Vintersorg has successfully established himself via previous efforts as being able to master the complex, intuitive, and imaginative aspects of Metal music with lyrics driven from scientific principle and theory. | | | Vintersorg kind of gives the impression that he’s choking when the Death chants are at an elevated volume
when the volume is a bit more subdued; they actually come through pretty smoothly and unobtrusively. |

| | Vintersorg was a one-man band for a long time, but now the band consists of Vintersorg (vocals, bass, acoustic and tremolo guitars, keyboards and programming) and Mattias Marklund (lead and rhythm guitar). | | | Cosmic Genesis is not the best Vintersorg album, but it is still an aesthetic and mind bubbling album that you can’t afford to miss. | | | Vintersorg’s fascination of these themes is a nice welcome in a time where boring lyrics are mass produced. |

| | Vintersorg is Vintersorg on all vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards and programming; and Mattias Marklund on rhythm guitars and lead guitars. | | | All the more amazing is that Vintersorg is basically a one-man show; Vintersorg handles nearly every musical and vocal endeavor and nothing seems labored or sub-standard. | | | The production is very clear and powerful; the production effort avoids what I construe as a big mistake by 'solo' artists who also sing and self-produced get their harmonic structures all crammed into one narrow band of comfort. |

| | Even though most Vintersorg trademarks can still be found on this album too the band has begun to break new ground by developing a more modern and progressive sound than before. | | | In my opinion the black metal vocals are totally unnecessary and the Vintersorg sound would do much better without them. | | | Although there is no other band like this the new sound could be compared to Borknagar but it is less intense and more melodic. |

| | ::Midnight Metal:: (Vintersorg) |
| | Recommendations by friends and anonymous emails have all sung the praise of Vintersorg and his beautiful chaotic style of metal, which becomes refined with every release. | | | After three subsequent releases — Vintersorg still fails to reach me, although I will say this release is far more accessible and enjoyable a listen than anything previous. | | | With an unusual culmination of industrial inspired layers, clean harmonised vocals, pseudo-synthesised guitar riffing and a punchy yet smooth almost power metal feeling percussive end — Visions from the Spiral Generator is an alright listen, in fact I’d go so far as to say it’s a relaxing listen. |

| | VINTERSORG is one of those bands that just breaks down and transcends all boundaries for what music is supposed to sound like. | | | Much like their fellow mindsetters in Arcturus, Ulver and Solefald, VINTERSORG sets forth on a journey to challenge the listener with what can only be described as progressive black/folk metal... | | | Still we'll not turn into a radio pop band, such a direction is the opposite of what we have as a goal, so in that case it's a limit I guess
so you see it's actually both." |

| | He has a host of releases under his belt, but the most time consuming would, of course, be Borknagar and the band which bares his moniker. | | | It seems like Vintersorg went on a musical journey just for the sake of travelling, without really considering the desirability of the destination. | | | From a musician's standpoint, this album astonishes me. But when it comes to the metal fan in me, I'll take a Borknagar record any day. |

| | One gets the feeling that Vintersorg's music reflects the intellectual nature of his philosophical concepts and lyrical ideas, though the fact that he prefers to sing in his mother tongue means that they are mostly lost on me. | | | While his band performs the music with aplomb, his prog tinged vocals soar over the top, harmonising and countering instrumental dialogue. | | | Remembering that past contact with Vintersorg had yielded some above average power metal experimentation, I was pleased to see that I could review his latest full-length album. |

| | Each has a completely different mood, Vintersorg being one of the most musically apt solo projects ever, The Gathering being the most emotional, and In Flames the most intense. | | | Back to the vocals, Vintersorg's voice is so pure, deep mid-ranged, and once again, perfect. | | | Though he lets out an occasional growl, most of the lyrics are sung so clearly without the slightest rough edge. |

| | This song features melodic riffless music that basically just supports Vintersorg's folkish melodies and some truly beautiful singing of Cia Hedmark [who reminds me a bit of the girl who sang on Anathema's Serenades]. | | | The title track begins with a piano progression that's regal, pretty and upbeat and is quickly joined by fluttering kick drums and nice vocal melodies. | | | The album closes with the pulsing classical overtones of Fangad Utav Nordens Sjal. |

| | But as I've said here, the album is undoubtedly and naturally VINTERSORG. | | | Although this album remains signature VINTERSORG, there are also many new and experimental elements that appear within the margins of "Cosmic Genesis". | | | The mere mention of the word "electronic" can send some thrashers into a fit of disgust, but let me assure you that the select passages are done so in good taste, and even contribute a great deal in conjunction with the theme of the album. |

| | Also, to pass this CD up because your local Dark Throne acolyte deems it “false”, is a perversity as well.Coming off a decent previous release, and more exceptional debut, this one man metal machine deserves all the praise thrown at him. | | | I doubt you will see the Coal Chamber fan from next door with a Vintersorg backpack, but for us who like our music well done and eclectic, without any nonsense or pretense, this, my friends is for you. | | | Very nice indeed, despite a few lagging moments towards the middle, this is a sure-fire pick-up for anyone into the ambient or the experimental, as well as people who partake to crafty song writing of this ilk. |

| | Contrary to OTYG VINTERSORG do(es) not use original folk-songs, but use them as influences for the compositions, which are a good bit heavier than OTYG's, what I actually prefer. | | | Melodic Black Metal (including the typical vocals) meets clean, deep and passionate singing and tons of folky melodies, which as a whole enchant you into the world of VINTERSORG, just listen to the opener "Norrland", here harmonic variability is the key! | | | Vintersorg, vocalist of Folk Metal-band OTYG, graces us with five songs, in a style that had not been used before indeed. |
