The Olden Domain
BORKNAGAR


Borknagar features members from other groups and was assembled by these kindred Norsemen under the full knowledge that it would possess it's own life and must be treated as such. Conceived and formed by guitarist Oystein Brun (Ex- Molested ), Garm (who fronts both Ulver and Arcturus ), Ivar Bjornson (of Enslaved ), drummer Grim (Ex- Immortal and Gorgoroth ) and new bassist Kai.


The CD was recorded at Woodhouse Studios in Germany.


This CD contains 8 tracks, a kind of concept album on a Norwegian theme 'The Eye Of Oden', 'The Winterway', 'Om Hundrede Aar Er Alting Glemt', 'A Tale Of Pagan Tongue', 'To Mount And Rove', 'Grimland Domain', 'Ascension Of Our Fathers' and ' The Dawn Of The End'.


This is Borknagar's second album and a great album it is.There are a lot of changes in direction in terms of the music. There are acoustic bits, heavy bits, atmospheric bits, some great guitar. Garm sometimes singing with the black vocals and sometimes with the normal Viking vocals make this an exciting album to listen too.


This CD is released by Century Media Records.
