I thought I should share the info given in the latest issue of Swedens largest metal magazine Close-up.
www.closeupmagazine.net
About Otyg: The name of the third album is/was supposed to be "Djävulen" (The devil), and its supposed to have the best Otyg songs ever. The lyrics deal with how the devil was portrayed in swedish "folk-belief" during different moments of the swedish history. Vintersorg is very satisfied with the lyrics but wants to challenge himself when he goes into the studio. To record this album would for him be to turn back the clock too far. He does not rule out a possible recording of these tracks in the future, and they have saved pre-production versions so they will not forget the songs. Another Otyg release would be the three demos on one cd, to fulfill the contract with Napalm records.
Vintersorg has laid down clean vocals for the pre-production of the next Borknagar album due to be recorded at the turn of this year into 2003.
Havayoth are preparing their next "goth-album" for Hammerheart records.
The 5th Vintersorg album is already written and will be called "The focusing blur". Vintersorg says: There are not going to be many black-metal riffs on it. It is gonna be more progressive than ever.
The "mini-LP" called "Fragments and alternatives: The experiment" may be put up on their webiste in its entirety instead of put out on cd. At least that is what Vintersorg hopes.
Vintersorg will be part of a metalopera composed by him and 29 norwegian artists! It is gonna be theatralic horror-metal with progressive and odd riffs. The people will be handpicked from the metal scene.
