Borknagar- Universal-CD (The End Records/ Indie Recordings)
Oh wonderous sounds from the frozen north Borknagar are back and in a form I have not heard in a good long while. I clearly know that Simen is on longer the frontman and Vintersorg is the vocalist over last few release with Universal it feels like there is a rebirth with the band . Where Borknagar is back to the majestic sounds of Archaic Course or Quintessence again . Borknagar is mixing the Epic Prog Metal sounds with the viking and folk metal styles that so made the band who and what they are. The influences of band members from bands like Vintersorg and Solefald are now more then ever a major source of extra skills and talents. Vintersorg voice has never sounded more powerful with the clean sung bombastic nature or those grim and menacing growled/ Blackened vocal attacks. The organ once again plays a major role in Borknagar and I feel that is what always made them one of the more interesting out there. There is a sound that will always be Borknagar as well no matter who sings for this brilliant cosmic unit. I simply love the very prog passages that are right out of the best Nightingales, Yes and Ayreon albums made all there own by they way they are arranged so thought out on the guitar. Not sure what else can be said but there are just a handful of bands that have made such an impact on the Post Black Metal sound as much as Borknagar . When your in company with bands like Arcturus, Ulver, Satyricon, Mayhem, DHG and Code these are some great people to be surrounded by... Long Live Oystien and his mighty mighty Borknagar!!!! 2010 is going to be a very good year for music if it starts out with Universal!!!!
