Vintersorg - The Focusing Blur


I'm not sure if you all are familiar with this Swedish folk/viking metal genius gone somewhat prog.  Andreas Hedlund, known as Vintersorg, has also been part of the folk metal Otyg and metal band Borknagar.  His "solo" band, Vintersorg, began as a viking metal that has progressed (in a true sense) into a very quirky, unique blend of metal, folk, progressive songwriting, and interesting lyrics based on science and astrology.

I highly recommend this if you're into prog metal...or metal in general.  It's nothing like DT, Opeth, or Pain of Salvation.

I guess my Top 5 (in no particular order) would be:

Tiles: Window Dressing.

Threshold: Subsurface.

Evergrey: The Inner Circle.

Fates Warning: FWX.

Enchant: Live At Last.

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal.
All this pain is an illusion.

I filtered my Winamp media library, and I here's what I found:

My Top 5 of 2004:

Neal Morse - One
Ayreon - The Human Equation
Threshold - Subsurface
Pain Of Salvation - BE
Chroma Key - Graveyard Mountain Home

Other notable albums:

Fates Warning - FWX
Kevin Moore - Ghostbook
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss Machine
The Flower Kings - Adam & Eve
Derek Sherinian - Mythology
Jordan Rudess - Rhythm Of Time
Time Requiem - The Inner Circle Of Reality
Time Machine - Reviviscence

Let downs:

The Tangent - The World That We Drive Through (awful vocals, directionless)
Rhapsody - Symphony Of Enchanted Lands (Christopher Lee didn't help, the cheesy lyrics remind me of a legendary Primus album title: Sailing the Seas of Cheese)

Human Equation - Ayreon
