Sorgetid exclusively play Nordic black metal, from Finland. The name Sorgetid may be new, but the creator behind it isn't: Finnish underground veteran V-Khaoz, renown for such bands as Vargrav, Druadan Forest, Grieve, and Embryonic Slumber among many others, stretching back to the late '90s. With Sorgetid itself, V-Khaoz indeed delves even deeper (and earlier) into the '90s, presenting vintage obsidian, both style- and production-wise, that respects the now-ancient time when black metal was only made by individuals who were truly dedicated to it. "In my reality, no other kind of black metal exists," he firmly states.
