Borknagar

Guitarist Oystein G. Brun and vocalist Garm teamed up to forge this early entry in the extreme metal scene. The music is notable for mixing frosty, abrasive black metal with sweeping, folk-inspired melodic passages.

Recorded in the mid-nineties, the tracks retain the cavernous quality common to the Malicious Records catalog. It represents a period when artists began exploring new territory by adding acoustic textures and themes inspired by nature to their songwriting.
