Vintersorg

Vintersorg (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈvɪntɛr ˈsɔrj]; "Winter Sorrow" in English) is a Swedish band from Skellefteå, formed in 1994 under the name Vargatron (Wolfthrone in English). Musically, Vintersorg has covered a wide number of heavy metal genres; while the band is mostly rooted in extreme metal styles, particularly black metal and Viking/folk metal, it has also expanded into progressive metal and avant-garde metal. Lyrically, the band deals with topics on fantasy, mythology, nature, the cosmos, and metaphysics. Vintersorg means "Winter Sorrow," but the name was taken from the The Legend of the Ice People series by Margit Sandemo, where the character Vintersorg is the son of a great pagan leader. more »

Algol, demon, capricious your brightness
Shifts from day to day, rises, abates, intesifies
Again, sometimes triumphant and sparkling
Sometimes pale and faint. For a long time
We've searched with wonder for the key
To this mystery, the right element to
Your eager and changing, queer temperament

Now we've dispersed the haze of the riddle:
You've got a companion on your journey
Like a slave, a faithful shadow he
Constantly follows you on the desolate
Path, he circles and sneaks quiet around you, closely

Never have we seen his guise, dark, parches
Stiff and cold, but still we know he exists;
Like ashamed he hides behind you, free
And merry you shine, until he once
Again crawls out of the darkness and
Covers you, and your glare becomes
Pallid and dull, and your mind cloudy

Now we've dispearsed the haze of the riddle:
You've got a companion on your journey
Like a slave, a faithful shadow he
Constantly follows you on the desolate
Path, he circles and sneaks quiet around you, closely

And similars there are, many Algols
Wanders in the space, maybe even
More among us on earth. Sunlight spirits
Darkened by a shadow, young princes
Concealed by old slaves, double souls
Divided creatures, a blissful son of the
Light indissolubly linked with a bitter dark demon

Now we've dispersed the haze of the riddle:
You've got a companion on your journey,
Like a slave, a faithful shadow he
Constantly follows you on the desolate
Path, he circles and sneaks quiet around you, closely.
