Death metal is too 'brutal' for me...
I can never understand a single word of the lyrics. What if the guy is sayng "Satan is a nice guy lalalala"? I may not agree with him...

Altought I may not like DM songs, I'm sure it's a nice exprience for you to keep drumming in the rhytm of different metal variations. Good luck in this new 'direction' you're working on.

 

[Asgeir Mickelson]

Thanks! It's definitely a new challenge playing so fast.

This type of cookie monster vocals are actually the more understandable kind...

 

[Naglfar]

Good stuff. Love me some death metal. I dig it. Are you gonna release an album anytime in the next year or two, or just give us some goodies and hope it spreads virally via the interwebs?

What if the guy is sayng "Satan is a nice guy lalalala"? I may not agree with him...

Ahehe maybe you wouldn't, but I would...

 

[FUBAR]

Sounds solid and alot better than most the of death metal out there.

 

[Asgeir Mickelson]

We got more than enough songs for an album. I recorded drums for 5 songs (preprod - not for the actual album!) with the setup I used for the new Ihsahn-album so we will finish those (just need to record vocal and bass) and then shop for a deal.

Sick fucking drumming. I am not a 'death metal' fan by any means but there are moods you get where you just need music like this... the vocals remind me of early Amon Amarth which is something I really don't mind at all. The song itself is really cool, nice guitars that keeps shit interesting unlike the vast majority of music in this genre. Congrats man, I was wondering where you had disappeared to, nice to see you back!

P.S. Please upload the Vintersorg/Vortex Colossus song to Youtube

Thanks. Never been away though.

I'm currently working on my website so I'll post a lot of obscure video clips on it from my whole "career", so who knows. Maybe that Colossus-clip will be there.

 

[Allfader]

The song is really heavy with some great dynamics. I like brutal/technical death metal a lot, but I never expected to hear you playing something so brutal on a very straight-forward style. I'm really impressed with the whole band, but the drumming is stellar (in a way, it reminds me to the last Arsis album).

 

[Astral and Arcane]

Looking forward to hearing more...

 

[FUBAR]

You drummed on the new Ihsahn album didn't you? I'm really looking forward to that one, sound like it'll be his most progressive album yet. What are your thoughts?

 

[Asgeir Mickelson]

Yes, I recorded the drums for the third Ihsahn-album back in April/May. Didn't think it was very progressive though.

 

[Bon]

Really great song! Looking forward to hear more!! Drum and bass are over the top!!!
Only one thing: I hope the drum sound will be better on the album.

 

[Asgeir Mickelson]

Thanks!

Everything will sound a lot better on the album. Remember this is a preprod - that means it's just a test to see what works and not! Also, it was mixed by me - something I really don't have any clue about...

 

[FUBAR]

Hmm he said was gonna collaborate with a saxaphone player on the album, I just assumed it would be progressive

Well I meant not posting here. And you're working on website? Sounds awesome, when can we expect that to be done?

 

[AnTz0r]

third ihsahn album already? that's fast

i thought angL was better than the adversary, so I hope he manages to keep up the improvements then again, for my tastes i think Lost in Reverie was the best he's done so far

 

[Qu Appelle]

I just saw this thread - I listened to it a couple of times, and I liked it!

I'm not a huge Death Metal fan, but it kept me hooked. The guitars were interesting musically, with the solos and harmonies. Also, they weren't mixed down to sludge, so I could hear them perfectly. Same with the rest of the instruments - it sounds raw, but there's nothing wildly out of balance nor muddied to oblivion. It did sound a tad 'sterile', but I'm sure that'll go away in the final mix. BTW, who sang the backup growls?

And the drums? The drums were intense! I still boggle that humans, even with triggers, can move that fast.

Great work, and I can't wait to hear more!

 

[Defiance]

Nice! I'm not really into this sort of Death Metal, but it sounds good. Obviously the drumming is excellent .

Question: Just how many Borknagar members are involved ?

 

[KRaEzTaIuRmED]

Great to you see you posting again! I like the song, can't wait to see more.
