borknagar is my favorite band, and vintersorg my favorite vocalist. having vintersorg join borknagar is just a superb bonus for me, and i cannot draw explicit conclusions between the man's solo work and his contributions to borknagar...
they're equally artistic and emotive, and the albums coincide in terms of talent.
i don't miss simen as much as i thought i might, his work on PEM is, i believe, the highlight of that album.
what i'd love to hear is vintersorg performing tracks from the previous borknagar albums.
vintersorg is an incredible force independent of borknagar, and borknagar has achieved an awe inspiring sound incomparable to any other with his efforts.
