Winterlong are back but with a new dynamic difference. After three albums in the neo-classical/power metal vein, band leader Thorbjorn Englund felt it was time for a change. Metal/Technology marks this change with a fresh new sound - more modern in approach but with the stunning guitar work Englund is famous for. Metal/Technology also sees Thorbjorn handling all duties himself - including vocals. On the reason for change Thorbjorn comments, "My aim was to make something different from what I'd normally do. I was just feeling that the regular stuff didn't do it anymore, you know, like I needed to create something fresh. I've always liked the more aggressive side of metal, and the more heavy riffing, so it was natural to go in that direction. I hope my fans will like it. I am very proud of this album as I feel I've achieved something interesting, not only for guitar players". Metal/Technology is a bold new statement by Thorbjorn, but a necessary one, and set to keep the Englund flame burning bright for many years to come.
