I am not concerned about who is going to play what on the coming Vintersorg-album; why?
1. Because so far mr V has proved to his listeners that he can play and record different types ( or aspects) of metal, and i believe that he wouldn't make a bad record out of anything that he decides is good enough to share with his fans
2. Steve and Asgeir have as far as I know never been part of the band, but of course they have realized mr V's visions (hehe, pun intended) in marvelous way, if vintersorg (and Mattias) want to head a different direction, i think no one, not fans nor musicians, should critize it. Especially not before they've heard the result.
I am confident in that this record will be a triumph, and Vintersorg's folk metal is what got me into progressive stuff as well as black metal.
I am glad for this return to folk metal (and maybe also Swedish), we shall see.
