Origin
Long promised the anticipated acoustic based album from Borknagar Origin, is delivered. A band consistently inconsistent, Borknagar have created an album that is heavily folk influenced and classically inspired as they continue their avant-garde quest of exploring the boundaries and depths of post-Black Metal. From the opening woodwinds and melodic arrangements, to the multi layered vocal harmonies, the recording is brimming with grandiose ideas. Lyrically Oystein and Vintersorg take turns describing the universe and our place in it, in an erudite and eloquent fashion. Marked by an everchanging metamorphosis,  Borknagar's sound has helped to form a genre while constantly redefining itself.
