Sweden's Vintersorg returns with its new studio album, Vattenkrafternas Spel, slated for release on 26 September by Hammerheart Records. The first taste of Vattenkrafternas Spel, "Malströmsbrus", has just been offered. The stunning album artwork was made once again by Kris Verwimp.

Vintersorg is the enduring vision of Swedish vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter Andreas Hedlund, who's been blending harsh black metal, Nordic folk and progressive soundscapes since 1994. What began in the frost-covered north of Skellefteå under the name Vargatron has grown into one of Scandinavia's most unique and consistently evolving metal projects.

Early albums, Till Fjälls and Ödemarkens Son, made Vintersorg's name with their raw yet melodic take on pagan black metal steeped in nature, folklore, and sweeping clean vocals. Later records, Cosmic Genesis and The Focusing Blur, took a sharp turn toward the philosophical and cosmic, diving into metaphysics, astronomy and avant-garde experimentation.

Known for a signature mix of soaring baritone vocals, icy black metal shrieks, layered harmonies, and a refusal to play it safe, Vintersorg continues to carve its path, untamed, cerebral, and deeply connected to the forces that shape both nature and sound. Link
