Our Take

BORKNAGAR's Quintessence (Picture Disc) is a whirlwind of black metal brilliance wrapped in a shiny, collectible package. The Norwegian metal outfit truly capture the essence of their genre while adding their own unique twist, resulting in an album that is both ferocious and transcendent.

From the moment the needle drops on the picture disc, you're transported to a mystical realm where the guitars rage like a storm and the vocals soar like an eagle. Tracks like "The Genuine Pulse" and "My Domain" showcase the band's technical prowess and ability to create a sonic landscape that is both unsettling and mesmerising.

The production on Quintessence is top-notch, with each instrument given its own space to shine. The drum work is particularly impressive, providing a thunderous backbone to the album's intricate guitar melodies. The bass is also a standout, adding a depth and heaviness that is essential to the album's overall sound.

While some may find the harsh vocals off-putting, true metalheads will revel in their intensity and raw emotion. BORKNAGAR have crafted a masterpiece with Quintessence, a record that demands to be played loud and proud. So pop on your headphones, drop the needle, and prepare to be taken on a sonic journey like no other.
