hmm try;

Enslaved
Ulver
Wintersun
Vintersorg
Diabolical Masquarade
Agalloch
Arcturus

Wintersun

Also, if you're not already listening to Opeth, you should be.

So far, you can borrow everything that has been mentioned here (minus Agalloch) from me. Just to let you know.

You should also SERIOUSLY check out these up-and-comers. Reading this, you will likely be very reluctant to actually listen to non-professional bands, but I'm telling you, it's WORTH it. Quietus is well worthy of Bork fans.

Quietus: http://www.myspace.com/myspacequietus

I would recommend checking out the track "Leaders of Decay". There are some newer and better tracks of theirs that I have, not on their myspace, so if you want to hear more/better stuff, send me a message.

Haunted Era: http://www.myspace.com/hauntedera

Check out "Black Blizzard". Yes, you may find out that this is my music. I'm promoting it here because it's heavily inspired by Borknagar. Black Blizzard is a solid track, you'll probably like it if you like Borknagar.

Enjoy! And remember, myspace lowers the sound quality for faster streaming, so what you hear is worse than the original tracks.

@Nick Perrin: Quiteus was quite good, though I don't really care for the vocals. A bit too "girly" for my tastes. It could become great though.

As for your own stuff: Fuck, that's good, man. Find yourself a vocalist and get signed. I'll buy it, you can be sure of that. (Though I don't appreciate the band's name much). And by the way, if it's not a problem with you I'll add the link to a couple of profiles on other baords, just to spread the word.

I found Winds through this forum years ago and I really enjoy them.

 

[Zephyrus]

Emperor

start anywhere

 

[Naglfar]

Ulver

Ulver's most recent (Blood Inside) is very far from resembling metal, and while an interesting album, I don't recommend it for someone looking for Borky-type metal.

 

[The Warrior of Modern Death]

Solefald, Dissection (Storm of the Light's Bane), Emperor, Arcturus, Enslaved, Immortal, and maybe even Anathema.

 

[KRaEzTaIuRmED]

Try last.fm they have good links to simular bands.

Greetings, Orcus.

Check Thundra.
This is the closiest I can think of.

Bergtatt is a good thing to look into though.

 

[Azzor1911]

i for one think that if you like borknagar, especially it's 'strange' and varying aspects, you should definately give Ulver's Perdition City and Blood Inside a try. of course, it's completely different, but after a couple listens you'll start to like it. and as you pointed out, you're looking desperately for new music.

as for other 'real' metal bands, try Age of Silence, Solefald, Sturmgeist and Spiral Architect.

I'm liking this thread, it's helping me too even though I have already heard most of the suggested bands.

@Nick Perrin: Quiteus was quite good, though I don't really care for the vocals. A bit too "girly" for my tastes. It could become great though.

Yeah, I think his singing voice has improved a bitnow though, but I have never been too fond of it either. I love the music though.
I can send you a newer track of theirs that is really excellent, if you want to hear it.

If you can guess how me and the lead man of Quietus know each other, you will win a full quality Quietus and Haunted Era track, meaning not toned down by mypsace's media player!... (I have to put some kind of reward in there or noone will care)

Hmm. A challenge. Well, I'll just go for the obvious. Brothers?
But yeah, I'd love for you to send me that newer track. If the vocals have improved, it should be quite good.
