Borknagar have spent the last two decades - pardon the cliché - doing their own thing. Never much concerned with publicity or reception of their work, as it appeared, they put out a number of solid releases, played a show or a small tour here and there, and otherwise elegantly avoided the big stage. Various lineup changes entailed a broad stylistic variance throughout their discography, ranging from fierce black metal tunes to warm symphonic harmonies with a slight avant-garde twitch while several recurring themes act as modest leitmotifs in their sound today. For their 20th anniversary, Borknagar return with a special release: one assembling all four singers the band had over the years on a single album: Winter Thrice. Read more ›› |

I like this album quite a lot. I would even dare to say that it's their best one in years. It does not sound revolutionary, but it seems the band has long since found its sound and just keeps on polishing it. The real standout for me is the majestic title track, but all the songs are great.
