I'm fairly new to Borknagar....but playing Archaic Course while watching it snow just seems....perfect! Anyone else share this feeling or have a certain place they like hearing a specific Borknagar album?

nick cave drags me through the crappy summer here in england, but Cathedral, borknagar and At the Gates gets me through the crappy winter

Yeah, Archaic Course is a good soundtrack to winter, but I would have to say that The Olden Domain is better. The guitars seem so much colder, and a lot of the lyrics have a wintry theme to them; such as "Winter thrice, river and rock, a new kingdom rise, I close my eyes," or "It's time to wake, wipe the ice from your eyes." Great, great wintry stuff. I also think Agalloch's "The Mantle" and Arcturus' "Aspera Hiems Symphonia" also make good winter soundtracks.

Empiricism always reminds me of snowboading in Whistler. I had it on near endless repeat on my minidisc when I was there last year. Brings back great memories...

Har, indeed I think the Olden Domain makes like a perfect winter soundtrack. Archaic Course reminds me more of some...uhm..tropical swimming paradise (with like, really nice and clear water and helluva lot of shells 'n stuff, wait, no shells in tropical swimming paradises are there? Well fuck it, then it just reminds me of swimming in like, real tropical waters), think it's the cover that does it

.That's interesting. I get a very cold feeling from listening. Next time I listen to it I'll think warm and clear water.Ethnobotanikkk said:Har, indeed I think the Olden Domain makes like a perfect winter soundtrack.

I kinda find At the Gates"Terminal Spirit Disease" gets me through winter. it especially good first thing christmas morning cranked up full blast when the next door neighbours family are singing their carols and drinking sherry.
The First Album makes me feel of a really cold and grim winter, the Olden Domain is also good andsome songs from Archaic Course.
I also love listen to Dimmu Borgir's For all Tid or Vintersorg's Till Fjälls.That's great "Winter Music"!

Most ulver is very "wintery" music...except nattens madrigal. it reminds me of hot summer days listening to vinyl
Hmm, I think the whole trilogy is very "wintery" but the music Ulver make nowadays isn't...don't like the new stuff very much

Yeah, the music creates some kind of cold, dark yet beautiful melancholic atmosphere. That's it what i like so much about black metal...
