艺人介绍

Vintersorg的前身Vargatron是一个多人乐队，成立于1994年，英语译为Wolfthorn（狼刺）。vargatron融合清晰的嗓音，不插电的吉他以及连续而有节奏的曲风，试着要把黑金带入一个新的领域。

然而期间由于乐队成员阵容过多次变化带来的不稳定，vargatron于1996年被迫解散。乐队的吉他手兼主唱vintersorg决定单独组队以继续vargatron的音乐风格。他一人担当全部乐器的演奏以及创作，并以自己的艺名vintersorg来命名乐队。

在1998年夏天，vintersorg发行了只有5首歌的mcd《Hedniskhj?rtad》，并在年末正式发行了大碟《Till Fj?lls》。此时的vintersorg已经大受好评。他将民间音乐（folk music）与维金金属（viking metal）完美的结合在一起。1999年推出的大碟《?demarkens Son》更是为vintersorg迎来一片掌声。vintersorg的这3张唱片全部是用瑞典语来创作的。

到2000年，乐队发生了两个大的变化。第一，vintersorg的好友兼当时乐队Otyg的队友Mattias Marklund正式作为吉他手加入。自此，vintersorg变成了由vintersorg和Mattias Marklund组成的二人乐队。第二的变化是vintersorg首次改用英语来写词，在全球范围发行了大碟《Cosmic Genesis》。

2000年的《Cosmic Genesis》，vintersorg试着用folk/viking的音乐风格来营造一种在以前专辑里没有的既现代又阴暗的氛围。这张由Napalm Record发行的唱片取得了很好的商业成绩。

2002年推出的大碟《Visions From The Spiral Generator》，第一次在vintersorg的音乐里听到了明显的鼓声。这张碟融入了很多新的，复杂的元素，比起早期的音乐更现代化，旋律也相对强劲很多。

Vintersorg (pronounced ['vɪntɛr 'sɔrj]; &Winter Sorrow& in English) is a Swedish folk/viking black metal band from Skellefteå, Sweden, formed in 1994 under the name Vargatron (Wolfthrone 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.

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 growled vocal, and &Solens Rötter& featuring more high-pitched and melodic vocals.

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.

Vintersorg (aka Andreas Hedlund) is constantly creating music. He is the front-man of several bands including Vintersorg, Otyg, Borknagar, Havayoth, Fission, Cronian and Waterclime.
