Visions from the Spiral Generator is the fourth full-length album by Swedish progressive/folk metal band Vintersorg. It was released on 24 June 2002. This album saw a drastic shift in style of the band that was foreshadowed on their prior album, Cosmic Genesis . The lyrics remained mixed between English and Swedish, and the music continued to be even more progressive and technical, moving further away from the band's original folk influences.
