Borknagar - Oceans Rise

[ivyenvy]

Simen "I.C.S. Vortex" Hestnæs for president!

[glidinlikeasugarbear]

viking metal? i feel like there's nothing better to listen to while playing skyrim.

[Biake22]

this song is so good, but I didn't like colossus. which are most of their songs more like?

[ajblazin]

ICS VORTEX!!!

[TheMetalwarrior29]

hails \m/

[PhillyPhil02]

I love the outro of this song so much (starts at 4:20). Just exceptionally beautiful. I might even like it more than the rest of the actual song.

[undesisivej24]

@PhillyPhil02 i tottaly agree :D <3

[fraginat0r]

king diamond

[matizamachowiec]

I don't want to die. I ever want listen to Borknagar!

[AlexQerty64]

I promoted you guys.

[petrokamenias]

the best band i've ever f***g heard!!! such melodyyyy!!! thumbs up from Greece!!!

[ChiefGrimley]

Simon is back!!!

[ChiefGrimley]

Simon is back!!!

[TorrentScorn]

A great song. Great ambient atmosphere.

When the ocean's rise........the whole album is great

[haarmegiddo]

This was such a good band. There aren't any around nowdays. Too bad they made universal the way they did it. Origin was much better and not to mention the older albums like this one.

[UndeadOutbreak]

Pretty damn good.

[Yiiiaaarrgh]

dont worry always there is music from the soul

[sinistershawn2001]

I love this song, but the rest of the album is rather boring IMO.

[babal1ty]

@sinistershawn2001 imho this album is the weakest of borknagar but still a killer.

[stiannb]

if Arcturus is to become live again they should have garm also on vox then they could shear the vocal duties

[MrArghhhh]

@stiannb a beautiful dream bro! hope it becomes real

[MrHector28]

starting to like this band

[puremetal89]

@MrHector28 It was an aquired taste for me as well. I love the band now.

[liliumsnovels667]

Oh my gosh.. this band is absolutely amazing!! I put my youtube on the list autoplay, and I've gotten sooooo many good bands, this from the Ensiferum list:) Amazing:D Hail From New York!:P

[hellfencer]

@liliumsnovels667 I'm on the Kampfar list :)

[superman12211331]

I spoke to Vortex yesterday on facebook ( he was amazing and actually talked to me :D) and he said he is probably bringing back Arcturus. I can't wait!!!!!!

[ganondorf59]

VORTEX IS BACK WITH BORKNAGAR!!!! And I'm damn lucky to see them live in September. Dream come true!! Vortex dominates!!

HAIL BORKNAGAR!! HAIL BLACK METAL!!!

[grinoedism]

Kermit@1:48

[CHRIS1974100]

The best song of Borknagar

[baraba]

top 3 for sure

[sakisolympia7]

@CHRIS1974100 I Agree great

[atheist999]

yeah vortex is the man! can't wait for him to put out something :) !!!

[OfficiaWINTERHORDE]

come into my profile and check out the new WINTERHORDE songs!

[linian89]

Borknagar with Vortex = AMAZING!

Arcturus with Vortex = AMAZING!

Dimmu Borgir with Vortex = AMAZING! (at least his parts...)

Lamented Souls = AMAZING!

The Code with Vortex = Would have been amazing!!!!

I expect great things in the near future from him now that he is not with Dimmu Borgir anymore.

[RammsCarvalho]

...by the way it is just MARVELLOUS!!!!

Vortex must be ALWAYS on the scene.

Masters!

[RammsCarvalho]

Awesome as always!!!!

[StevieMogo]

breath of fresh air!

[zkivez]

i like this

[faenrir11]

damn... Vortex seems to be full of surprises. I knew he is a great singer, and now he proved to be also a pretty good growler

[ingelnook]

@faenrir11

Shure he is. Didn`t you know? I almost cried the day I found out he was leaving borknagar. But he did pretty well with D. Borgir. lets se how they manage without him and mustis ( they will manage, but I do think they will struggle to keep it up)

[DazDrezden151]

@faenrir11 Hell Yeah! nothing beats his clean vocals. They grab a hold of your soul....wether you're listening to DB or Bork, the song seems to fade and Vortexes hand comes out and chokeslams your soul onto a bed of thumbtacks~!

[metalacademy26]

Excellent titre !!!!

[XmrmurdocX]

Great record... Though i cant stand that falsetto vocal not even on that really ok "la masquarade infernale" record **

[kokalokoko]

AWESOME !!!

[shaantitus]

Viking power at its best!

[OzzVisarr]

The best scandinavian metal for me...

and i think that it really doesn't matter who was/is on the vocals... this band as a wholeness is just PERFECT !

I liked Garm.. I admired Vortex and now I love Vintersorg.

Hail!

[Glargl]

Your keys are borken

[SharDarksoul]

This song reminds me abit of Opeth, and what a news minded title has this song :>

^_^

[unholyblackheart]

wow this band is same like dimmu borgir but yeah only thing they didnt use effects :D

[schokoprinz]

i absolutely love this outro, anyone know where the tabs for this are?

[sinistershawn2001]

I don't have the tab, but I too love the outro.

[schokoprinz]

any idea where the outro tab can be found? I think i have figured out the rhythm guitar part for the outro but i also think there might be 3 guitar parts. Its hard to tell, they did a great job overlapping everything though.

[ChaseFrad]

really?..PM me what you have and ill try and figure the rest out

[schokoprinz]

Aight, ill try and tab it out tomorrow

[forestwanderer777]

I love this song! Great atmosphere! Everything is just great!!!!!

[XxVampireLust22xX]

This could be a damn lullaby. It's that good, fuck country music.

[DennisKindbergmedD]

lets do that to! :D

[DennisKindbergmedD]

Wacken 09! LOUDER THEN HELL MOTHERFUCKER! :D

[BalderLucifer]

If I had money I'd go for my 3rd year in a row, but with no job there's no money. Have fun for me too! \m/

[DennisKindbergmedD]

im gonna start the biggest moshpit for you at borknagar! \M/

[BalderLucifer]

\m/

[AndyTheGoat]

I'll bring back the finest mead for you :D

[Emil88888]

its vintersorg thoug! much better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BalderLucifer]

It's not Vintersorg on this song. It's Vortex from Dimmu Borgir

[Emil88888]

It is though!..

[BalderLucifer]

Do you still mean it's Vintersorg on this song or you mean Vortex?

This album was released 1998 and Vintersorg's Hedlund didn't enter the band until 2000!

[rubs1389]

What was the last album Vortex did with them?

[BalderLucifer]

The last album with Vortex is Quintessence (2000). There is to read on Wikipedia.

[rubs1389]

Why thank you sir. I appreaciate the info

[Atharg]

dunno guys what do you think, but the vocals reminds me of petri lindroos

[BalderLucifer]

The vocalist doesn't have the same power in his voice as Petri. He sounds more like Shagrath then Petri. The vocalist is influenced by Black Metal vocals and Petri is clearly not. Good track by the way!!

[SoulreaperBE]

hahahahahahahaha

[mikroHAUSstudio]

Please don't fight and HEAR this wonder.

Please comment about this song 10/10 :D

[JNC3525]

Everyone needs to chill; stop picking on this guy. Israel is not the aggressor; more on the defense; the surrounding nations are known to provoke; therefore, Israel and the Jews are doing what they should have done years ago and Fight back. Funny, now that the Jews are fighting back; everyone seems to get upset...what do you expect; for them to roll over? idiots

[krong666]

Vortex is a genius

[hardcoresk8ters]

vortex should be lead vocals for dimmu too =P

[XOROHN]

[etaych]

[hanswurst119]

oh my gosh, an israeli that is proud of what his country is doing, very funny... are you that stupid or are you acting?

[WitchAngmarKing]

All problems in the world are caused by the ignorance of the jews, christians and muslims. Semitic root.

[novean]

correction on the later songs anyway, vortex still rocks anyway : )

[novean]

Mr.Vintersorg knows how it's done, he makes anything good : )

Oystein G. Brun : Guitars

Jens F. Ryland : Guitars

[etaych]

keep laughing euro dick i wish u could say it to my face so i can pound your ugly gentile face to the ground

go suck jesus's dick until he cums in your mouth and then choke on it and die ok ?

[dSroOwnUinLg]

etaych, you sound like the worst nazis/racists did...every single jew ought to be ashamed of you!

[gh56hg65]

source= major Swedish newspapers

ww aftonbladet se

Malmø , Sweden . The police now publicly admit what many Scandinavians have known for a long time: They no longer control the situation in the nations's third largest city. It is effectively ruled by violent gangs of Muslim immigrants. Some of the Muslims have lived in the area of Rosengård, Malmø, for twenty years, and still don't know how to read or write Swedish.

[etaych]

i bet u European assholes still blame the jews..

i hope you and the muslim immigrants will rot together

[dawnninjawolf]

Quiet Jude!

[xxxkill5]

etaych i kinda agree what those bedore me said. but with fight i mean fist fights and this not rockets and guns. guns are for cowards. and how can you be proud because youre country is killing people? and sry that i thought youre an amerian. american or jew same shit=D(joke)

[dawnninjawolf]

Guns are not for cowards they are the smart mans way of settling things.

You see fist fights unless done at a bar or w/ a friend are stupid because it solves nothing, One time I had someone on the floor begging me to stop so I did and the next day his friends all lied for him and I was the one laughed at the rest of the year!

You see no one can lie about the outcome of a fight when they are dead thats why pistol/ sword duels worked.

I am proud of my country because it can defend itself.

[Mismot]

Jau

[Blindpain666]

this and winterway are the best songs

[scorpiusb]

whoever wrote this band's musik is a genious :|

[Kentirir]

Borknagar.. All time norwegian band. My nr. 1.

Got the songwriter/guitar player as friend on facebook. You should add him! He said there coming a new album in some months. And this time is it a metal album!

[WithTheGodsAtMyBack]

Emperor and Borknagar...in my eyes...the two Gods of Symphonic Black Metal

[Mutvermis]

I like Dimmu, I like Borknagar, I like Immortal. I don't care how much I listened to them. There all still good. why are people always making cons of bands.

[VarSorgen]

hell yes. agreed dude, people bash metal when it gets more mainstream and well known but unlike other genres, the well known metal becomes well known for a reason other than money

[Mutvermis]

thanx, and well put.

[mawnstah]

Awesome song. Very melodic and mellow chords.

[Anonyomus]

I Bought 'The Archaic Course'-album.. It's very good album, but I would like it more, if there would be a bit lesser that clean vocals! Don't get me wrong, I love Vortex' clean vocals, but in TAC, there's a bit too much of it.. ^^ This is one of the best songs from there! :P

[izual00985]

love this song!!!!!!!!!just fuckin' great!

[kthalynna1947]

Vortex´s gutural voice is so good like his clear voices,is perfect!!!!

[DeathMetalTones666]

I like Dimmu alot, and when comparing it to this, It's almost similar to Dimmu (new work) thier new album ''In Sorte Diaboli'' had a little change in thier style of thier older work, but still it's awesome and I love it, they're wonderful and i think that they'r one of the greatest Black metal bands out there....

[Nattleite]

GREAT SONG ! The acoustic version in the album Origin is also good..

[Anonyomus]

It's sad that too many people mock Vortex about his appearance in Dimmu Borgir and the band...

Imo, Dimmu Borgir's older stuff is just amazing as hell and Vortex is one of the big talents of Norway! People now mocks Dimmu Borgir, because it has succeeded so damn well! But still, their music is very good, but not so good than back then...

[Kentirir]

Agreed

[Guitaristguy]

agreed

[SomecallmeJack]

agreed

[JerkyChid]

yep

[marsor1]

I agree. Eccept that I think that Dimmu is evolvling musicaly, and that makes them so much better. If Dimmu continues to push their own limits, their music would be beyond perfect. In Sorte Diaboli was an excelent album, and I look forward to hear the next one. But of course, I also like the old Dimmu-stuff.

Heia Norge!

[Anonyomus]

yeah, Dimmu's group is guite genius, but the ISD-album was very disappointment compared to what they really can produce and compose! But let's see what the next album brings with it! :)

[wbub4sion]

yes. agreed. dimmu borgir has proved themselves to be a powerful group from their first ablum to their last( which i hope their never will be a last)

[artvandelay0]

For All Tid sucked.

[nolanb123456]

yeah deffintiely but dimmu's amazing! people shouldnt hate them just because they're popular, if burzum was as popular as dimmu, then people would hate burzum. its wierd how that works..

[Anonyomus]

That's very true... It's not Dimmu's fault that they've succeeded so well and it tells that thousands of people likes their music! But I prefer the older Dimmu Borgir much more than the newer one! :) ISD album was a disappointment to me, but they can do better! :) Maybe Silenoz was a bit rusty when he wrote the songs... (They had 1 year break before the album, as you might know)

[nolanb123456]

yeah i like the old dimmu better too but i think "the serpentine offering" and "the sacrilegious scorn are relly good songs off there, the rest arent too good.. vortexs voice is sooooooooooo awesome!!!

[radyxxx]

I dont hate them,cause theyre popular,i hate them,cause they changed the way they performed.they changed black metal to comedy,just take a look at some of theyr music videos

[nolanb123456]

so they dont focuse on theyre music video quality very much. so what? their music makes up for it.

[rubs1389]

They videos are meant for that.. Its a mockery, just in case you havent noticed..

[Maiden6Trooper]

have you ever seen Immortal's videos? At least Dimmu Borgir's videos have some quality. (no offence to Immortal fans, their music is good)

[PissSniffer]

lol imo bm musicvideos are jks. music is good and that's all that matters, unless you're one of those mainstream wannabes focusing on music videos.... it's the music that counts not the motherfucking video.

[Mangiman000]

music videos sucks, i think that ruined a part of the old norwegian black metal. dimmu borgir arent as good for me as they were because of the videos.. dont know why,,

[PissSniffer]

Meh, I gor tired of dimmu because I listened to all of their songs like 25 times

[charlesdryden16]

fucking agree

[PissSniffer]

Well.. It would honestly suck to see good black metal bands going in the mainstream (with their music videos and all..)

I used to like Dimmu until their In Sorte Diaboli album, I just lost interest afterwards.

And really, I think black metal videos aren't as superior because of the lack of funding.

[VarSorgen]

lol yeah immortals vids could use a little professional help... music is sure as hell good though, blizzard beast = epic pwn

[TRIARII117]

One of my favourites. :D

[gratthard]

i love song this is great

[gratthard]

i like the band is fucking awersome

[MoonOvIce]

This album is amazing! but I also like Vintersorgs's voice and the material they have released with him...

[DrinkerOfBoredom]

How come you have a picture of Vintersorg when this is one of Vortex's songs?

[Fabio1349]

Vortex is the best, period.

[skygge666]

My favourite Borknagar albums: "The Olden Domain" and "The Archaic Course". I very like Vintersorg, but the older albums with ICS and Garm on vocals are much better!

[Sardonicus83]

My opinion is very similar, just up to Quintessence.

[adg211288]

Rocks!

[Draqenfrost]

Fuck man!

It's a fucking hit.

and yeah it's different.

[suicid3h3arts]

the vortex version! i love it.

i love the new version as well.. they are almost 2 different songs.

[Volticia]

Vortex!!
