Good idea, actually he would be a very good solution, too. I like his playing and technique as well. Bork even used one of his basses on Epic, so there IS a connection (not forgetting Asgeir) :-)

Come to think of it, they should get Simen play the bass again and have two great vocalists in the same band. Now that would be something... I mean this is soooo obvious, I'd bet some money on this :-)

Damn! Borknagar looked like a band again with 6 full-time members, a very good new album, even plans for more live activity then this comes. I do hope for a more detailed explanation, but on the other hand, what's there to explain about such a situation? Any replacements? Or the position is...

Thanks for posting these videos. I have to say they are damn good versions. This again shows Torn has very good songs. These accoustic versions have a very special feeling, a lot more relaxed, laid back atmosphere, but still have a lot of emotions and feeling in them. I think I would love to...

Well I think that Torn is a damn good album, for me the best album Evergrey has ever recorded. I own almost all their albums and the DVD, and they have been one of my fave band for many years now so I have a past with them. My favorite so far was Recreation Day, but this one as a whole is better...

Erik, now you have the basses for some time. Being a bassist myself I'd really appreciate some sort of review or a couple of words about your experiences with the new babies. Sound, playability, overall feeling, the differences between the two basses sound wise etc. So if you'd found some time...

Hey, how could I miss this news! Good luck with the bass, guess it is completed by now. I have a pair of bassculture.de humbucking pickups w/wood cover in my 6 string bass, and they sound awesome. Did you have any specific reason to have two quite similar basses built? (or did i miss something?)

Now this is some unfortunate news. I was happy to see the Emp line-up uniting once more, then we receive this news...pfff. I guess everyone has a path in life, and Asgeir's now leading away from Borknagar. I can understand that, but I will miss him in the band, whose he had seem to be quite a...

I just got the news. Now this all takes me back in time to the Empiricism release. I have been following Bork ever since, sometimes caring more, sometimes caring less. Time flies, as they say.... Since '01 I got family, got kids, got more wrinkles under my eyes , but still looking forward to the...

Hell yes! Jari is one of the best bass player around in the heavy music. His talents not always showed through Stratovarius's music, but that is not his fault. I'm a bass player myself and know what I'm talking about here, and I seriously belive Evergrey will have a new start with him - IF they...

No need to replace anyone, but there are a couple of people who's missing. Maybe I'm the only one that thinks it that the pinnacle of Borknagar as a band was Empiricism. Since Jens and Tyr left and noone came to replace them, for me Borknagar ceased to be a band, it's now a project. A project...

Indeed it is something for you to be proud of. I also enjoy playing that part, too :) Thanks for the tabs btw!

Joking aside, I think Bork does not tour mainly because of the fact that most of the members has more important things in life than being on the road for weeks or months in the end. (and underground metall tours are not an easy-outing) They got their lives, some has familiy, kids, and probably...

TIC But really, it would be A night to remember, even if that does not count as a "normal" album.

Guess... :)
