It's not really that raw, though...

it is compared with the others. my opinion.

Compared with the other Bork records it is, I'll give you that much

I always liked how Borknagar is open to all the band members' lyrical inputs though! Asgeir, Simen, Garm, Oystein, Mr. V, Lazare, they've all written Bork lyrics!

Garm didn`t write any lyrics for Borknagar.

tyr needs to write one

Well, The View of Everlast lyrics are written by Tyr and Oystein.

[Mantis]

that's kinda cool, you think you could translate the title names of the first album?

it's hard to read the text off the inlays, some strange font. good thing the titles are also printed on the cd in normal letters:

1: Vintervredets Sjelesagn
2: Tanker mot Tind (Kvelding)
3: Svartskogs Gilde
4: Ved Steingard
5: Krigsstev
6: Dauden
7: Grimskalle Trell
8: Nord Naagauk
9: Fandens Allheim
10: Tanker mot Tind (Gryning)

I edited the wikipendia page with the translations for all the titles and some explanation too

 

[Azzor1911]

sweet, thanks man.

and what about Om Hundrede Aar Er Alting Glemt ?

 

[Mantis]

About hundred years are already forgotten

 

[Rivfadír]

About hundred years are already forgotten

This is wrong. I'm guessing you used an online translator or something. The real translation is "In a hundred years, everything will be forgotten"

this sounds about right

 

[Mantis]

you're right, could you check also my translation at wikipage? Those I didn't translate online but with vocabulary so I guess they're right

Garm didn`t write any lyrics for Borknagar.

In a Interview to Oystein, he said the lyrics were wrote by him with the colaboration of Garm, and he were agree to do not publish the lyrics... he said "I don't know if Garm remember that but both of us were agreed to do not insert the lyrics in the release...

The Lyrics are in Norwegian, but a Older version of Norwegian (Oystein said "even to Norwegian people is a little hard to understand it, cause Garm (and I ) likes the older language...)

 

[Väinämöisen Viikate]

Do you have a link to this interview?
In some interview Garm said that he just did the vocals and nothing else.

Ok, I'll check it.

Edit: A few glitches (like, two, or so), fixed them.
