Favourite Borknagar album

[prof.ah]

Quintessence & Borknagar

 

[Decepticon]

The Olden Domain

 

[themooseisloose]

i love them all for their own reasons, but i have to go with empiricism because of vintersorg

 

[Cythraul]

I'm gonna have to go with The Olden Domain and Quinessence. The Olden Domain had that really cool organic and atmospheric feel to it. The playing was a little looser on that album, not so precise which gave Borknagar a unique edge. Not to mention how creative Oystein's riffing style is on that album. Garm falters a bit when his vocals go into the lower register but his performance is still creative and inspired.

Quintessence is also really good. It's a bit different for the Bork. At times it sounds a little spacey to my ears. Particularly impressive is Vortex' vocal performance. Just listen to "The Prescence is Ominous", "Colossus", or "Revolt" for proof of this. The music is masterfully constructed with every instrument taking an equally important role, not a common feature in a lot of metal. Oystein once again proves on this album that he is one of the most creative guitarists in metal, utilizing the instrument to it's highest textural capabilities.

I have to agree. I can't understand what's up with all the Vintersorg bashing! He has a great voice and fits in the band perfectly.

 

[necromancor1]

i only have "the olden domain".

 

[NFU]

The self titled....there is only the self titled. :Smug:

 

[Destroyer Of Orden]

Quintessence, then Empricism, The Olden Domain, Borknagar, The Archaic Course

 

[Tauredil]

Probably The archaic course, but I hope the next one will take the first place

 

[Necramentia]

the archaic course. there's just something great about everything vortex does.

 

[MFJ]

I'd have to go with Empiricism... Vintersorg's voice added something to the music that just perfects it for me. Also, I enjoy how a lot of the lead sound is done by the synths... its just a fantastic album.

 

[decayed_winds]

Im going to have to say Empericism (sorry scourge). I love everything about Quintessence. In fact collosus is my favorite song. I just choose Empericism because Vintersorg is an amazing vocalist.

 

[Guttorm]

Their first album, Borknagar...

 

[Sinner Rider]

How Could You Pick The First Is Probally The Only One That I Wouldn't Because The Production Sucks. But Id Say,....... Empiricism Or Maybe The Arcadic Course, But Collosus Is By Far My Favorite Song!!

 

[Dantven]

The production doesnt' suck on the first one...that has a perfect sound actually, very dark and mysterious with lots of atmosphere....sounds excellent to me.

 

[The Black Canvas]

I would have to say The Archaic Course, Vortex's vocals are outstanding on this cd.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

The Olden Domain and Empiricism rule.
