Great song.

oh hell yeah! this sounds like it could've come straight off Quintessence.

Sounds better than anything off (t)urd already.

Another one for the list

That section from 1:12 - 2:15

:0

Yeah, rocks hard

This track is an absolute jam

This album is sitting at my number 1 for the year right now. It's definitely my favorite Borknagar album.

Now I'm hyped. The other single was alright but this one is awesome

oh shit

This album is sitting at my number 1 for the year right now. It's definitely my favorite Borknagar album.

Let us not get ahead of ourselves, shall we

why not

Only Borknagar albums I ever really return to are the first two tbh

Same

First two are great, Quintessence and Empiricism are great, Winter Thrice is pretty.. prettty... prettty good. There are some lulls in their discog though for sure

@Willie

I have a feeling there's a super review coming up...

Yes, the last three especially. This sounds like a return to form.

I think I've heard something from these guys over the years, but I honestly don't remember much. It looks like this album will be the one that gets me into these guys.

I like most of their albums but their early era and last couple are the strongest. Winter thrice is a great return to form

--Let us not get ahead of ourselves, shall we--

Ha ha. I'm not. I've had this for about a month, and it's definitely my tentative number one. Things may change, but if my list was done today... I don't really have a favorite Borknagar album because I've never been their biggest fan, but my other two favorites is Winter Thrice, and this is way better than that.

I liked everything I heard from this band - especially The Olden Domain - will give this a go.

The two singles are amazing thus far, really like this one, feels very fresh and energetic

Cant stop listening to this song. Vortex sounds awesome

Band has always been amazing. Can’t wait for the album.

I really like their early stuff and most recent stuff. They have a couple mid era albums I'm not super into though

I dig them all ahrd.

I haven't listened to these dudes since Epic, but I really can't stop listening to these two songs. So so very good.

Same dude, I've probably jammed Up North at least 10 times since it dropped. Very stoked to hear this album

Both singles from this rule.

oh wait aren't these vocals kinda weird for borknagar?
they are, aren't they?
or is it me who is weird...?

anyways this is a really cool song lads

depends on what Borknagar you've heard dude, they've had 3 main singers, but ICS Vortex has been the singer on the last few, before that it was Vintersorg, before that it was ICS Vortex, before that it was Garm so.. maybe (:

Wasn’t Vintersorg on the last one too? I always get who is on what confused.

Vintersorg and Vortex shared vocal duties on the last album with Vintersorg being the 'main' vocalist. Vortex and Lars (keyboardist for this band and vocalist (Etc) for Solefald) share vocal duties on this album, with Vortex being the main vocalist (on most songs, anyway. Lars is main vocalist on at least one).

oh good to know

Lars is one of my favorite vocalists. I love them on Solefald and Age Of Silence, so it was cool to hear them so much on this album. The song he takes the lead on is easily my favorite on this album: "Lights". I think there's a few other songs where he's the main vocalist, but it's honestly hard to tell sometimes because he and Vortex sound so similar sometimes on this.
