vintersorg the storm before the calm
The last two years have seen Swedish band Vintersorg raise the bar for other progressive metal acts with the release of 2011’s Jordpuls and now their stunning new album, Orkan. Described by reviewer Jodi Mullen as “a monumental achievement and one of the finest records you’ll hear in 2012”, Orkan is a more contemplative affair than its predecessor but remains every bit as challenging and vital. Jodi caught up with Andreas “Mr V” Hedlund from Vintersorg (and also of Borknagar and more bands besides) to get under the skin of the new record and ask just how the prolific Mr V manages to keep to a schedule that will hopefully see another album released next year.
