Our Take

Norwegian melodic black metal band Borknagar have returned with their third album, "The Archaic Course," released on a limited edition picture disc. This album is a sonic journey through a vast landscape of progressive riffage and atmospheric melodies.

The band showcases their musical prowess and songwriting skills on tracks like "Oceans Rise" and "The Eye of Oden," which blend intricate guitar work with haunting vocals. The production on this album is top-notch, with each instrument shining through in the mix.

However, some may find the album's extensive runtime a bit daunting, as it clocks in at just over an hour. But fear not, as Borknagar keep things interesting with dynamic shifts in tempo and mood throughout.

Overall, "The Archaic Course" is a must-listen for fans of melodic black metal and progressive music. Borknagar continue to push boundaries and defy genre expectations, making this album a standout in their discography.

Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the band's sound, this picture disc is a worthy addition to any metal collection. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let Borknagar take you on a musical journey unlike any other.
