Vintersorg’s classic second album remastered! One of the best Folk Metal ever made!
“Ödemarkens Son” (translates as “Son of the Wilderness”), the second full length from the Swedish band Vintersorg is unique Black/Folk Metal release. Generally speaking, this is not the ‘happy dancing’ Folk Metal like Korpiklaani, Finntroll or the likes, this is mournful. blackened Folk Metal, with very poetic and sorrowful lyrics, more on the side of old Ulver, but still is something very different from any released before.
On this album, Vintersorg deals with old Scandinavian tales, pagan themes and his impression of Nature. Lyrically this is the most personal work of Vintersorg where, using the aforementioned elements, he expresses his own feelings.
Musically, this is what everyting one could expect from a really amazing Folk Metal album.
The album is very melodic, using a lot of acoustic guitars, most of the time the guitars (acoustic and distorted ones) are doing different things, complementing each other perfectly, also still there is a good amount of catchiness, specially on the choruses, but not the ‘let’s drink another beer’ kind of, more majestic, epic yet woeful ones. Also there is an unusual high amount of riffs and rhythm changes on each song, not allowing the music fall on tediousness and unnecessary repetitions.
Vintersorg sings with full emotion. His voice has an inner strength, self-confidence and epic feel that captivate the listener instantly, leaving the instrumental section sometimes on the background.
About the song themselves... there’s no filler here. Almost all songs change a lot nicely and switch smoothly from folk acoustic passages to fast black metal moments, carrying the listener through the atmosphere and preparing him to the climax moments on every song. Did we say that the songs are very epic?
