Borknagar has maintained a lineup since 2012, though all good things must come to an end. The band has announced that guitarist Jens F. Ryland has parted ways with the group and it sounds like the feelings were mutual. Ryland played with the band from 1997 to 2003, and then again from 2007 to present day.
In a bit of good news, Borknagar is working on the follow-up to 2016's masterpiece Winter Thrice. This is exciting for two reasons – new Borknagar is best Borknagar, and it also means we won't have to wait four years between releases! Well, maybe. They're shooting for a late 2018 or early 2019 release.
No replacement for Ryland has been announced.
BORKNAGAR AND GUITARIST JENS F. RYLAND PART WAYS
Borknagar and long time guitarist Jens F. Ryland have decided to part ways. We would like to thank and salute him for all the time we shared on and off stage the past 20 yrs. The very best of luck with all future endevours!
As a sidenote, Borknagar is currently working on a new album, roughly planned for a late 2018 or early 2019 release. More info soon!
