Borknagar - Vocalist Vintersorg Injured In Accident


Borknagar are currently hard at work recording their new album to follow Urd. Today, however, guitarist Øystein Garnes Brun shared some bad news. Vocalist Vintersorg (also in Vintersorg and Cronian) injured himself in a fall resulting in fractures to the skull, and brain hemorrhage. The Norwegian melodic black metallers say that the new album might be delayed due to his treatment and until he recovers. Hopefully, he can recover fully.

Øystein Garnes Brun explained: "This have been a rough week. Seven days ago Mr. V was seriously injured in an falling accident. This resulted in multiple fractures to the skull, brain hemorrhage and momentary dysfunctional hearing on one ear. We have intentionally kept this off the radar, till he felt fit enough to update the public himself. So his post on Facebook today should be regarded as an heartwarming and uplifting statement of his recovery.

"We would like to wish our colleague and dear friend all the best, the best possible treatment and a speedy recovery to full health. Also all the best to his closest family, his wife and kids in this difficult situation. In the current situation Mr. V' process of recovery and regaining health is the most important thing. The release of our new album might be delayed accordingly, as there is absolutely no option to leave our bro behind or in any way compromise on his recovery. Get well bro!"

Here is what Vintersorg posted online:

What the hell...? Wish him a fast recovery! Really enjoy nearly all of his musical outputs, glad to hear it's not too bad (although not hearing on one ear is terrible).

Music was my life, music brought me to life and music is how I will be remembered long after I leave this life. When I die there will be a final waltz in my head that only I can hear.

That was nearly a year ago. There have been a few band related accidents since then (and deaths: Black Tusk), though admittedly not from falling exactly.

True, but this proves that it's best to tell your friends to fuck off and move their own damn furniture haha. In the case of Black Tusk's bassist, all the more reason to avoid riding motorcycles.

Oh shit, that's awful. I'm really glad he's okay and very much hope he remains so.
