BORKNAGAR To Release Winter Thrice In January

Holy crap it's new Borknagar!

Holy crap it's new Borknagar!

Yes! Borknagar will be releasing Winter Thrice on January 22 via Century Media Records! I've been waiting for this record for what seems like an eternity, though really it's only been four years… which is an eternity in music time. The album was mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Kreator, Paradise Lost, etc.) and will feature original vocalist Kristoffer Rygg of current Ulver fame!

Here's what founder and guitarist Øystein G. Brun had to say, which includes some pretty interesting tidbits.

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”.

We need a single. Like, right this very second.
