Borknagar - Unveil New Album Title And Release Date
The newest studio album by Borknagar is completed and now set for a worldwide release through Century Media Records on January 22nd, 2016. Today the first details are out in the open. The album is entitled Winter Thrice and will be the 10th album by these Norwegian black metal purveyors. The album was mixed and mastered at Fascination Street Studio in Sweden by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Kreator, Paradise Lost, etc.), who already took care of mixing duties for their previous album Urd in 2012. Now you wait in anticipation for what's next.
Commented by founder and guitarist Øystein G. Brun: "Finally a release date for our new album is set. The album was finished back in July and it has been a painful ordeal to hold our 'breath' until now. We are extremely satisfied with this album in every aspect; the songs, the production and the overall feel. We have definitely climbed yet another musical peak! Once again Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studio has proven to be a true magician of sounds. He was really able to pinpoint the nerve of the music and unfold the visions that we strived for. None above, none aside - none even close!
"The album title Winter Thrice may chime familiar in the minds of those who have followed Borknagar throughout the years. Both musically and lyrically the new album has a clear reference to the Olden... days of the band - in the same time as we take a huge leap into the future. Literally the title refers to the 3 continuous winters (Fimbulvinter) which ensign the downfall of the world (Ragnarok), according to northern mythology. The rest is up to your very own imagination. Last but not least: For the very first time in our career we actually have a title track on this album, named 'Winter Thrice'. Along with Vintersorg, ICS Vortex and Lazare, none less than our original vocalist Fiery G. Maelstrom take on the lead vocals. It's breath-taking, nothing more need to be said. Just heard."
In other good news, the band has already been confirmed and announced to appear at next year's edition of Germany's massive Wacken Open Air festival, taking place on August 4th-6th, 2016.

I've always wanted to dig into Borknagar's discography but somehow never got around to it; certainly quite a few of their members need no introduction and are involved in other fantastic projects. This gives me a great chance to really get into the band.

Oh, I was hoping to get this still this year...  Anyway, Urd and The Olden Domain sure are my favorite albums from them, so... maybe this will sound like a fusion of those?

If it's half as good as Urd it'll be a definite masterpiece.
