User Album Review
Till Fjälls (“To the Mountains”) marked the début of Sweden’s Vintersorg and thus began one of the better melodic black and folk metal bands around. Though their music phased out the folk influences and replaced them with even more melody, Till Fjälls del II is a definitive statement that they still care about folksy stimuli.
II represents an entirely logical step for Vintersorg, completing a return to their roots which was foreshadowed by the past 3 records. Jordpuls, Orkan and Naturbål retreated from the pseudo-scientific and -philosophical reaches of Andreas Hedlund’s (Vintersorg himself) mind, back to the organic, folk-influenced melodic black metal with which he developed his name. Seemingly a direct sequel to the great first record, II fully retakes the Scandinavian mantle of snow-frosted mountains and wild forests in a way which will be familiar to lovers of their natural material. The only slight defect in this symmetry of their discography is that while the aforementioned 3 records respectively concerned earth, air and fire, we never received an album expressly dedicated to the fourth classical element, water. But I’ll cut Mr. Sorg some slack as he’s once again written a stand-out record replete with heroine-laced choruses and sharp instrumental melodies. -- Reviewed by angrymetalguy.com
