What do you want on the next album?

[Ormir]

A suggestion to Asgeir;

-A sane lyrics layout on the next album! It was really confusing having the lyrics in random order on Empiricism.

It was never meant to be in a random order , it got fucked up during print.

Anyway , every written word on the next album will be in morse-code.















































































































































I am kidding of course...

 

[bleed for me]

the basslines were great on empiricism but the bass should be louder and less conservative...just let it rip tyr it would be nice to see some spiral architectish basslines.

and guitar solos of course...longish ones with key changes

there's my 2 cents

 

[Djöfull]

just continue with the Empiricism vibe just use different keys and different lyrics...

well I want some crazy guitar solos and keyboard layers
make really heavy and fast songs and include smooth bits; change very rapidly....

choirs from Mr. V death vocals, black, and falsetto parts( and all in between)

many acoustic parts, ja takk så mye!

 

[Loco Bahamut]

a banjo solo.yea,that'll hit the spot

 

[WinterMillennium]

another almost-totally clean vox song like 'Colossus' would be übercool

I love Revolt, and you should do more songs like that

Agreed, that is probably my favourite Borkis song.

It WAS sane when I sent it to Century Media but they fucked up. Check the booklet on the jewel case version and you'll see how it was intended to be in the first place...

*Morg is NOT p) going to buy it a 3rd time, just to see how it should look like...*

 

[Somber Soul]

Most of the things have probably already been said. But here's just my quick wishlist for the next album:

-) a good mix of fast and mid-tempo songs; perhaps more faster songs than on "Empiricism"

-) crazy Hammond torturing!

-) bass & drum solos *give it up for Asgeir and Tyr - yeah*

-) acoustic passages / instrumental passages


In other words: everything as it already was on "Empiricism" and ealier albums but 100 times better!!!!

@Tyr & Asgeir: Alright, thanks for clearing that up. Not really surprising coming from CM... They have a habit of fucking up first prints.

 

[FailingAcension]

I forget who mentioned it, and don't know how or if it would work, but a guest appearence by Vortex would be thrilling. Maybe a duet with Vintersorg? *wistfully wishes*

 

[yourdeadgroom]

Hehe, why stop with just Vortex? Go for a trio, with Garm too, I say

Hmmm, so are you going to add a new member to play on the album, or are you going to be boring and stick with the same line-up this time?

(joking )

hmmmm, I should probably stay away from this thread, there is just too much temptation to be silly ;o

 

[Mocika]

more Hammond sound would be great..but otherwise do what you want to do. I wanna hear The Borknagar and not my ideas in your music If you follow the path you are going on from the first album... I won't be disappointed.

Hm... have to agree here...

 

[Affinity]

Ask Vortex to come back!

 

[Morgana]

 

[Naku ist krig]

Hmm..lets see... these things would be great..
- Blackbeats during clean vocals
- Two different growling sounds (at the same time)
- Bass solos (because they´re funny)

Or maybe I should just stay quiet..

 

[kollex]

more slower and acoustic passages
more higher pitched vocals (maybe even falsetto)
a more depressing outlook
and an album cover involving ballroom dancing
