VINTERSORG

7th album from 2011 by the Swedish project led by Andreas Hedlund (BORKNAGAR, OTYG) and one of the strongest releases of its modern era. Arriving four years after "Solens rötter", "Jordpuls" marked a more decisive return to the folk-oriented and nature-inspired spirit of VINTERSORG's early years while retaining the progressive sophistication developed throughout the previous decade. It also serves as the first chapter of the band's conceptual series based on the natural elements, later continued with "Orkan" and "Naturbål".

Performed entirely in Swedish, the album blends Folk Metal, Progressive Metal and Melodic Black Metal through dynamic songwriting, memorable choruses and a deep connection to nature, spirituality and Scandinavian landscapes. The outstanding vocal arrangements of Andreas Hedlund and the inspired guitar work of Mattias Marklund result in an evocative and highly atmospheric release that many fans regard as one of VINTERSORG's finest albums in years.

Recommended for fans of: BORKNAGAR, OTYG, MOONSORROW, ENSIFERUM.
