Borknagar – “Epic”
Fans of serious, exceptional metal should check this out. Borknagar creates its own world. No stupid Satan gimmicks, just catchy and complex textures of energetic beat-blasting progressive dark metal from Norway; lots of dynamics and interplay between blasting and melody. The vocals are black and death metal and are very well done by Vintersorg, who also does a lot of great clean singing. The speed is dizzying and the melodies contagious. A must-have, no fat; all muscle.
