This is one of his best albums. I love Vintersorg and Cia Hedmark. Beautifully talented musicians. I am so glad that I was shown this album 20+ years ago. Still one of my favorite albums of all time. 💛
In 1999, 17 years old, I was more then ready for Vintersorg. What a genius! Lately as an nearly old man (41 yo), I return to this classics more often, it reminds me feeling and images from my youth. Cheers, mates!
This ep and opening track always gives me the chills. Reminds me of my old days, when i traveled from my town to Copenhagen to discover this Ep, and heard it on the way home on my way home on my discman, i was amazed at that time, and it still to this day holds, fantastic ep!
I found Vintersorg when I was about 14 (2004). Didn't think that I would still enjoy as much as I do still today. My first CD was Till Fjalls with the EP as bonus tracks, and I always liked these 5 songs just a bit more than the full album. Stilla is a beautiful song and the vocals on this are haunting and full of wisdom despite my language barrier. All hail!
I don't remember what time or how I got to listen to this group for the first time, but if it brings me many very pleasant moments, it transports me 20 years ago, I listened to make love with my wife, hahaha, it's really very good.
It's a different style and topic, you know nothing about metal with such a foolish (and largely subjective) comparison. The singing doesn't even matter or make much of a difference, he is not a masterful (or wonderful-sounding) singer, he does a fitting style, that's enough, regardless of whether it gets a little bit better. The songs are obviously perfectly written in their style here, they have a certain power of their own that some of his later stuff doesn't have, regardless of how "elaborate" it may get, which is a very basic point teenagers have to learn about metal or rock music anyway... Even if he got better in bits and pieces: this is his first solo release, why even talk about this. It's better to just appreciate how good it is.
