@TheDrunkenSwede varför skulle jag ha metal OCH wardruna på samtidigt? eller föreslår du att jag ska ha metall liggandes brevid? jag kan kompromissa: jag lägger en hammerfallskiva på vardagsrumsbordet medans jag spelar.
I personally prefer Vintersorgs first albums and Otyg. His later works are interesting, but not as good as older. I only like Cosmic Genesis. It isnt so progressive as Focusing Blur for example.
I've only heard Odemarkens Son (many times, I might add), and I will likely hear the other albums later, but every time someone expresses their preference for a band's earlier work, and I go back to listen to them, I can never fully appreciate the reason why they like the older works better.
It's mostly about nature, speaking of the early albums that is. Then you've got Cosmic Genesis and those albums where it's more about space and that stuff.
As I'm not Swedish I can't understand what he is singing/growling, which makes it a very mysterious sounding song. :o)# Nice guitars, by the way. And a nice intro.
There's quite a few Viking bands now, I only got into the genre after I listened to a band called Einherjer. They're quite old and no longer going but give them a try, I think if anyone call execute it right it would be them. Blot and norwegian native art are 2 great albums.
Vintersorg has never really been viking metal tbh, they only have maybe one or two lyrics about the viking ages. If anything the time period they sing about is more 18-19th century-ish.
Vi borde gå tillsammans och föra bort alla otrogna ifrån vårt land, Sverige, Norge, Finland Together we can drive out the bad muslims from our country, be wikings once more!
The song is a praise to norrland, the wild northern half of sweden. It's really difficult to translate, since he uses some very archaic words and phrases and references to swedish folklore and norse religion, but I'll try:
An enchanted wolven land Cloaked in autumn From the sphere of the tuss darkness Tranquilly born from the sagas night Like the northern weathers journey Through the splendour of leaf halls. An adventurous journey With dreamy tarn and treasonous bog Where fjeld walls rises around And fimbul cold greedily lurks Where wolven choirs laments Are pulses in my heart
October snow now covers the land The storms rip and tear And in the mortal coil(?) Will the blood freeze When the rage of the unroaded ice land awakens I strive amongst the wandering paths In wind and lustre from northern lights And the arrival of the harsh frost nights Feels like balm for the soul To the south I have wandered To see its wide plains When a wraithly grasp so wily turned me north And i found peace in my soul
we americans who know good music when we hear it mostly have to travel across the pond to hear them live....alot of finnish folk metal and BM is acroos the pond, and i love the folk metal that is going on right now... the bands in america are all in a fashion show, they are also being mass produced. Bands wont make it more then a year because they all sound the same!

Second, I want you to realize this si the first time I've heard this music; so naturally I'm going to be commenting and listening; I think that pretty much explains why I'm lookign at it don't you think?

Enthroned by the bittersweet kingdoms mighty bliss
