"This is the kind of stuff that lifts my spirits and causes extreme listening pleasure! Vintersorg, hailing from Sweden (of course, what else is new?), brandish a very moving combination of traditional Heavy Metal and the depressive nature of ancient Scandinavian Folk Music. Accentuating the `might & misery' emotive nature of Ödemarkens Son are the clean, native tongue-twisting vocal harmonies of a man actually known as Vintersorg, also known for his brilliant work fronting the Metal/Folk band OTYG (so does that make this a solo release...hmmm?)! Forging Metal anthems that act as Progressive hymns of glory and sorrow is a trademark element of Vintersorg's mythos, as their music causes you to "feel" rather than merely listen. Bands that appreciate and embrace their cultural heritage always get brownie points in my book, and Ödemarkens Son is all aces!! Sweeping acoustic passages fused with a classic Metal fire gives the band's music a quality of ancient battles, triumphs and personal loss that causes a contemporary yet primal sound! When you listen to Vintersorg, you can hear the distant cries of cultures long dead, but there influence will stay with you long after the CD has run its course. This is a release not to be understood, rather it is a musical journey meant to be inhaled and breathed, thus giving new life to Olden requiems and creating a new meaning for the term "unity"!"

Great album full of originality

"Vintersorg returns with their third release, and this will satisfy all your heavy metal needs. Vintersorg's trademark vocals liven up this CD, along with acoustic passages, excellent female vocals, and catchy guitars. Well played and well produced music make this CD a must have."

Vintersorg strikes again!

"Vintersorg is very good one man viking metal band from Sweden.Vintersorg shows in this release an improvment of his music showed on the last two albuns, now Vintersorg is using less splatter vocals and is working with more melodies. This is viking metal on its best way, you will just travel to the past when listening to the nine musics of this great masterpiece. Vintersorg is one of the greatest musicians on this kind of music. People who like viking metal, Vintersorg or even classic rock mixed with folk music, but a little heavier, must buy this album.."
