Vintersorg is a Swedish progressive, folk/viking, black metal-influenced band formed in 1994 under the name Vargatron (Wolfthrone in English). Lyrically, the band deals with topics on fantasy, mythology, nature, the cosmos and metaphysics. Vintersorg means "Winter Sorrow," but the name was taken from the Isfolket series by Margit Sandemo where the character Vintersorg is the son of a great pagan leader.

Along with this change in musical style, the lyrical topics began to shift as well. In the past the lyrics were all sung and written in Swedish and dealt with topics of nature and paganism. With the advent of Cosmic Genesis, the lyrics were now written and sung mostly in English and now dealt with scientific ideas and philosophies dealing with topics such as metaphysics, astronomy, and astrology. In the Cosmic Genesis booklet Vintersorg thanks Dr. Carl Sagan, author of the book Cosmos.
