FISSION: Harsh And Razor-Sharp Thrash Metal

August 18, 2003

BORKNAGAR/VINTERSORG frontman Andreas Hedlund (a.k.a. Vintersorg) has revealed more information about FISSION, his new collaboration with VINTERSORG live session drummer Benny "Hägge" Hägglund.

According to Hedlund, FISSION's musical style can be described as "harsh and razor-sharp thrash metal, with a lot of melody and atmosphere. Some links can be made to bands like AT THE GATES — it has some of that melodism — but still has its very own identity. Vocally, the style switches between bone-chilling black-metal escapism, to soothing and calm voice-scapes, and the lethal dose of attitude in multiple parts are of course very present.

"I feel that we've come up with very cool and inspiring songs that bear a lot of tradition but still [represent] something new and fresh," he continued. "Our mixture of thrash and more atmospheric soundscapes give us the right grain of uniqueness."

FISSION have inked a deal with Napalm Records for the release of their debut album, tentatively due in early 2004.
