Our Take
Our Take
Norwegian progressive black metal outfit Borknagar celebrate a quarter of a century since their inception with a re-issue of their iconic self-titled debut album. An opus of epic proportions, this record blends ferocious black metal with intricate folk melodies and soaring clean vocals, creating a sonic whirlwind that transports listeners to a mystical realm.
From the haunting beauty of tracks like "The Eye of Oden" to the blistering fury of "The Dawn of the End," Borknagar showcase their mastery of both brutality and melody. The album's production may be a bit rough around the edges by today's standards, but it adds to the raw, primal energy that defines their sound.
The re-issue includes remastered tracks that bring out the nuances of each instrument, giving new life to classic songs like "Om Hundrede Aar Er Alting Glemt." The bonus material, including live recordings and demo tracks, offers a fascinating glimpse into the band's creative process and evolution over the years.
In conclusion, Borknagar's self-titled album remains a timeless masterpiece that paved the way for countless bands in the black metal genre. A must-have for fans of Nordic metal and progressive music alike, this re-issue is a fitting tribute to a band that has left an indelible mark on the metal scene. Cheers to another 25 years of Borknagar!
