Best Borknagar Cover...

[DoAsISayNotAsIDo]

I think Quintessence is best The Olden Domain is good too...

 

[Eldzik]

BORKNAGAR - cold, mysterious, dark...

 

[Thorgrimm]

Yeah...Borknagar - Borknagar has the best cover. It's so climatic

 

[Somber Soul]

Yep, I was intrigued with the "Borknagar" cover even when I wasn't really into the music yet. I love the whole "Quintessence" artwork, too. Probably my favourite...nifty digipack, nice reds... Was it also done by Asgeir?

the truth is that i hadn't known Borknagar before i bought they debut. i did it just because i loved that cover

borknagar by far.. its great! i love the atmosphere, with the mist and all

For me every album has its needed artwok, just imagine "Empiricism" with the cover of ther first, thay would have fit very badly, don't you think? every album need its very own design. Music and Lyrics in a symbiosis, that's the ultimate cover

The Archaic Course for sure. It's got such an otherworldy feel to it, and it suits the album perfectly. It's a classic album cover in my books.

 

[bleed for me]

empiricism and quintessence has the best artwork by far.

I totally agree! A bad cover might not influence the music, but it might ruin the experience a bit. I, for one, enjoy great artwork very much. I look at it, savour it, use it as Windows background ...

"Quintessence" and "Empiricism" are in the same vein. Different colours and images, of course, but in the same style. I like that. This way you can make out an overall structure. I wonder if Borkie will stick to this line.

I like the selftitled cover the best also.

 

[M.Lehto]

I love The first and the recent cover...but everytime, the cover have been right to the music, the first cover would look like shit on recent album and vice versa...

 

[The Wanderer]

i've never been a big fan of their art, though empricism and the self titled would be the best.

 

[Sadistik]

I thought that Asgeirs work on the newest one was great, only that some of the lyrics were hard to distinguish from the background.....I really like the simple but effective layout of Olden Domain as well...

I think a CD's cover art is the second most important thing to the music. A cover creates an atmosphere for a CD, and everytime I listen to a CD the atmosphere is similar to that of the cover for the most part. To answer the question I think that the self titled has the best, and most fitting cover art.

Yeah! Borknagar. As Black Metal must be, cold, grim, vague, and haunting.
