Double black vinyl, 12" (33 RPM), in a sleeve with inner sleeves. First pressing of 300 copies worldwide. With significant international tours and chart rankings around the globe, BORKNAGAR remains, after more than 30 years, a constantly evolving force. Since its debut with a self-titled first album in the mid-90s, this pillar of the Norwegian scene has pushed the boundaries of the black metal universe. Marking a new turning point for the band, their sixth album, released in 2004, is a true progressive epic. ‘Epic’ does not stray too far from BORKNAGAR's traditional universe. “Future Reminiscence” opens with a brutal burst of old school blast beats, before softening in the midst of folk flutes, delicate acoustics, and the clear, powerful vocals of newcomer Vintersorg. Hammond organ, fretless bass, philosophical inquiries, and other progressive touches flow like electricity through the many inner chambers of the tracklist, leading the band toward its destiny. With ‘Epic’, BORKNAGAR has established itself as a constantly evolving force within progressive black metal. For fans of AMORPHIS, ENSLAVED, WINDIR. Artwork by Asgeir Mickelson.
