Andreas Hedlund (born 17 September 1973), better known by his stage names Vintersorg and Mr. V, is a Swedish vocalist and multi-instrumentalist who has played in several heavy metal bands.
The original style was meant to be rooted in black metal but using mostly clean vocals and only a few moments of the traditional grim screaming.
[3] Being long time friends, Øystein G. Brun and Hedlund eventually began to form a musical bond and found a mutual vision.
[5] In 2002, Benny Hägglund, long time friend of Hedlund, and live drummer for Vintersorg, began working on music for a project that would combine melody and aggression into energetic songs.
[7] Eventually Hedlund had enough material for a full-length album, which was released through Lion Music on 20 January 2006 under the title The Astral Factor, under the band name Waterclime.
