Borknagar Origin

[Seeds Of Evil]

This is a very adventurous, acoustic oriented album using lots of wood instruments and strings. Not just your typical acoustic guitar/keyboard ballads, but actual orchestration and sweet melodies. This stuff is amazing. The theme of the album is the "Origin" of the universe and mankind. Because these guys put absolutely no limits on influences, what they produce is an incredibly original and emotional album. Past works have shown the band's tendency toward a more melodic, mellow approach to their music, so this will be no surprise to fans. Pick it up.

Release date October 31. Will absolutely be getting this one.

This definitely wouldn't be a suprise because they've been adventuring with acoustic material since their first album.

But this is great none-the-less.

Can't fully get into this one, much like Epic, it seems to be a vehicle for Vintersorg's vocals which, while good, are absolutely predictable and repeat the same melody too often.

 

[The Minds Eye]

I'm buying this ASAP, I've been pretty excited for this project for quite a while.

 

[~Neurotica]

The album is damn great! Melodic and beautiful. The fact that its all acoustic makes it only better.

Try not to pay as much attention to his voice.
