"We're going back to our roots" is something that a lot of bands say. So often, that the phrase has almost lost its point. It's more interesting, though, when uttered by a band that aren't backed into a corner. While many bands say this to reinvigorate interest after a series of releases that meet lukewarm reception or are creatively bankrupt, Vintersorg are clearly not one such band. In fact, they're pushing along steadily, and frontman Andreas Hedlund also helms Borknagar, so he has a lot of room to explore his writing. Still, he has chosen this direction for his tenth album, making a sequel to their debut. It's an odd choice, but it works!
