Alvefard

Scandinavian Folk Metal classic remastered and finally available on vinyl for the first time!

Otyg’s debut full length “Älvefärd” sits at the quiet edge of Metal, where Folk, atmosphere, and melody matter more than weight.

“Älvefärd” is built on restraint and feeling.  Clean vocals, violin, mouth harp, sparse guitars, and songs that flow naturally rather than force themselves forward. “Älvefärd” is not an album about brutality or speed.  It lives in mood, tradition, and sincerity. Vintersorg and Cia carry the music with strong, passionate vocal performances, grounded in a distinctly Scandinavian tone that feels honest and unpolished.  Simple arrangements, but never empty.  Every note serves the song.

Remastered in 2025, this re issue enhances the clarity without stripping away the warmth and calm that define the record. 

The result is “Älvefärd” as it was always meant to sound.  A cornerstone release for fans of Otyg, Vintersorg, and Folk Metal rooted in atmosphere rather than excess.

Scandinavian Folk Metal classic remastered and finally available on vinyl for the first time!

“Sagovindars Boning” shows Otyg in a lighter, more playful mood.  Folk first, metal second. Medieval tones, acoustic instruments, lute and violin textures, and songs driven by melody and storytelling rather than force.  Vintersorg’s clean vocals take center stage here, warm and expressive, joined at times by gentle female harmonies.

There is a natural joy running through this album. 

Nature bound lyrics, simple but memorable songs, and moments that drift closer to Folk Rock than Metal. Tracks like “Trollslottet”, “Mossfrun Kölnar”, and “Vilievandring” capture Otyg’s gift for atmosphere and charm, while flashes of humor and unexpected turns keep the record human and alive.

Remastered in 2025, this re issue brings new clarity to the acoustic details and vocals, letting the album breathe as intended.

“Sagovindars Boning” is a record for open ears, curious minds, and those who appreciate Folk Metal with personality and heart.

Cult Scandinavian Folk Metal! 

Otyg’s first demo recordings “Bergtagen” remastered from the original tapes!

Before folk Metal turned into a gimmick, Otyg were already there.  "Bergtagen" captures the band at its purest.  Earthy, melodic, and deeply Scandinavian.  No posturing, no plastic bombast.  Just strong riffs, breathing rhythms, violin, jaw harp, and Vintersorg sounding raw, urgent, and serious.

Though often called a demo, “Bergtagen” never felt like one.  The songs are fully formed, memorable, and played with intent.

This is where Otyg’s spirit truly lives, long before it was softened or streamlined elsewhere.
Now remastered in 2025 by Vintersorg, the re issue finally does justice to this material.
For those who value atmosphere over hype and tradition over trends, “Bergtagen” remains essential listening.

Cult Scandinavian Folk Metal! Otyg’s demo recordings “Galdersång Till Bergfadern” remastered from the original tapes!

The third and final Otyg demo stands as the last hushed whisper before the band stepped into the light. Recorded in 1997 and never officially released at the time,

“Galdersång Till Bergfadern” laid the foundation for much of what would become “Älvefärd”, several tracks were later re-recorded for that full-length.

Here the melodies are ancient, the rhythms untamed, and the group already locked in on their own language of Scandinavian Folk and Metal.  You can hear the roots of violin, flute and lute dancing with guitar and voice, all pushing forward into territory only Otyg could define.

Remastered in 2025 by Vintersorg, this re-issue keeps the raw edge intact while giving the recordings the clarity they deserve.

Cult Scandinavian Folk Metal! Otyg’s demo recordings “I Trollskogens Drömmande Mörker” remastered from the original tapes!

“I Trollskogens Drömmande Mörker” is Otyg stepping further into their own world. 

More bite, more movement, and more confidence than “Bergtagen”.  The songs are tighter, the melodies sharper, and the playing more adventurous, without losing the natural Folk feel.
The violin and female vocals are woven into the music, not sitting on top of it.  They add depth and character rather than decoration.

Comes in a sturdy boxed set with all 5 albums in their Digi-CD versions.

Scandinavian Folk Metal complete discography remastered and re-packaged!

“Folktronen (1995-2000)” gathers the complete Otyg recordings from 1995 to 2000 in one definitive collection.  All demos and both full length albums, newly remastered in 2025 by Vintersorg.

The title carries a double meaning.  Folktron refers to folklore and old beliefs, while tron also means throne.  Together it reflects what Otyg stood for during these years.  Deeply rooted in tradition, yet standing apart from trends.  In hindsight, these recordings capture a period where Otyg truly ruled their own corner of folk metal.

From the raw power of “Bertagen” and “I Trollskogens Drömmande Mörker”, through the transitional “Galdersång Till Bergfadern”, to the full length visions of “Älvefärd” and “Sagovindars Boning”, this box set documents the complete journey.

Untamed, melodic, atmospheric, and unmistakably Scandinavian.

• The complete Otyg collection finally available in one box
• The boxset comes with a poster drawn by Vintersorg himself
• Remastered by Vintersorg from the original tapes for the best audio experience
• Featuring Andreas Hedlund of Vintersorg
