Vintersorg

A great musician involved in several projects, most notably Vintersorg and Borknagar. His real name is Andreas Hedlund and he is from Sweden.

The band Vintersorg started out as black-ish folk metal band but evolved into a post-black-ish progressive metal band over time. The first two albums and the EP are completely written and sung in an older form of the Swedish language. Vintersorg's older albums are about nature and mythology, while the recent albums are more about philosophy, science, and astronomy.

Other projects include (but not limited to): Otyg, Fission, Cosmic Death, Waterfield, and Havayoth. He comes off as being pretentious to some people in the metal community, but he isn't at all really... he just has respect and curiousity for knowledge and the old world.

Ozzfest

Annual festival that was ultimately started by Ozzy Osbourne's wife, Sharon Osbourne, in retaliation against Lollapalooza management, whom would not put Ozzy on the Lollapalooza line-up because he was not considered "cool" in the alternative world. Ever since 1996, this annual tour has increased in popularity, bringing metal bands such as Megadeth, Pantera, Fear Factory, and, of course, Ozzy and Black Sabbath. Due to the uprise of nu-metal in recent years, this festival seems to get more "commercial" every year.

Jay: "dude, Ozzfest 2001 was awesome!"
me: "2000 and the ones before are the only awesome ones."
