Borknagar Winter Thrice

2016, WINTER THRICE, which - just like URD - was once again mixed by Jens Bogren and packaged in artwork by Marcelo Vasco, is unique to the Borknagar catalogue also because it features 4 vocalist parts, including the return of original singer and Ulver-mastermind Kristoffer Rygg, a.k.a. Garm, who left the band following THE OLDEN DOMAIN. There was never any bad blood spilled, and his return was directly influenced by the fact Borknagar is celebrating the 20th anniversary of their self-titled debut. According to Brun, he initially approached Garm about doing a few lines on two songs (,,Winter Thrice" and ,,Terminus") and offered some basic guidelines, but what he got back was far beyond his expectations. As Brun regards WINTER THRICE as the band's finest work thus far. To his mind it encompasses everything the band has put to tape over the past two decades, from their most brutal assaults to their most experimental compositions. And all of this makes Borknagar shine through in a more epic way than ever before!
