Hello everybody, the satellite page "Borknagar Chile" recently has an interesting interview/chat.
Their fourth album, Quintessence, seemed to solidify the musical part of that equation, but something was still missing. The missing piece of the puzzle turned out to be vocalist Andreas "Vintersorg" Hedlund. With him as their singer they released their most progressive album yet, Empiricism. While that album did start to hint at a more sterile and restrained sound, it made up for it with its great songwriting and the novelty of a new vocalist. Unfortunately, Universal doesn’t have any of that going for it and it shows.
Borknagar - Universal 8 songs lyrics: Havoc, Reason, The Stir of Seasons, For A Thousand Years to Come, Abrasion Tide, Fleshflower, Worldwide, My Domain.
