Just spent the last hour running through a snowy forest in below freezing weather for no other reason than to listen to this album in an environment epic enough for it.
I can't even begin to comprehend why this band (and this album) is so underrated... I mean, the talent in it should be enough to want to give it a mandatory chance. Garm (Ulver, Arcturus), Grim (Immortal, Gorgoroth), Infernus (Gorgoroth, Orcustus), and the guitarist (forgot his name) as far as I can tell is just brilliant. I love the tone of the guitar and the riffs he does with them, very unique. It seems that every band Garm was in makes beauty out of really "ugly" guitar sounds. EPIC album!
@wolfboii999 He is the bassist for this album :) I read online somewhere that Malicious Records (which had some of the MOST amazing black metal albums in the 90's under it's belt) didn't even ask for demos, they just signed the band when they realized the talent found in the supergroup.
this cold raw song has that felling that black metal from 90 was meant be.For me my teen years were grown listen to that black metal back then. Im from South Europe but lately i have been a couple of times travelling in Northern Europe (Norwegian mountains, Finnish and Swedish woods) and its actually inspiring, i understand how those beautifull landscapes inspired them to such raw, cold riffs and heathen wild agression!
on e of the best albums from NORGE ever! call it what you will: black/viking/folk... The first album from borknagard, listen to the first Arcurus album; asperaheim symphonia,... this was the golden age of real metall, fuck all this new com. SHIT!!! Hill Normann !!
Yes, Borknagar now play something like progressive black metal. However, their first album is top-quality viking black metal. Im my humble opinion, one of the best stuff when it comes to the above-mentioned genre.
@Fjell666 Its a real place and a real abandoned building.. its high up in the misty mountains in the dark forests of Norway. Where the black plague ravished, with a dark past.
I`ve actually been there.. its a good place to sit down into a really old tree, put on this album and watch the sun get swollowed by the dark hills.
borknagar fucking rules this album is the best but i wish i could get the lyrics to it this song is my fav borknagar song and comes in the top five all time fav black metal songs
I dream, whilst awake, to such music! Ahhhhh!
