[@IDoNotExist000]

every time I hear vortex on an album I have to go back and listen to progenies of the great apocalypse :D

[@kyleweller6453]

Just started going back through their catalog upon their new album release this February. Amazing band. Very unique

[@AliceLoop]

first track is so powerful to take the listener's attention to flow into. very good.

[@bandman659]

Haven't really listened to Borknagar much before tonight. This album is absolutely amazing! Definitely going to add them to my late-night KZbin metal-fests.

[@ReliaK79]

Borknagar y Enslaved hacen música maravillosa

[@GilCloud]

The Beauty of Dead Cities is a masterpiece, it reminds me italian prog bands of the seventies.

[@ChaseZachary]

This album is pretty cool! Heard these guys on a playlist and I can't stop listening to it.

[@alex.e8207]

Thanks for the upload! Such a great album, as usual! So grateful that my bro made me listen to this band. Long live Borknagar and Vintersorg !

[@SkittlesDeNocturne]

Decided to see where vortex is these days...Time to add another band to my list of listenings.

[@PamelaCapurro]

Vintersorg is God 😎

[@JG-qp9dl]

I feel like everyone talks about vintersorg, and vortex...and they're good, but what about Lazare Nedland? love his vocal contributions.

[@neilmaccannell637]

Jonny Guillen good point this band reaks of talented writers im glad he(lars)is adding Vox and he wrote beauty of dead cities it's an interesting track

[@dimmona7820]

[@967113]

Great album!

[@vikingmetaldragon]

0:10 - 0:35 UNBELIEVABLE. Easily one of the best things I've heard in 15 years of metal love.

[@1337fraggzb00N]

Wir hatten auch mal ein Nagarproblem im Keller... haben Fallen gestellt, das half.

BORKNAGAR FOREVER!!

[@barbudania]

The song The Plains of Memories is a damn powerful one!

[@prefijosustantivo7071]

que cosa tan bella!

[@drblackout7]

wow I somehow missed this album's release. digging it, but it's hard to go wrong with an impressive lineup like this.

[@grimreaper33462]

awesome band voice ic vortex is awesome.

[@dimmona7820]

[@DuncanBochicchio]

its like blackened power prog this is so good

[@ChaseZachary]

So far I think this is my fav album. We shall see!

[@gamian_skillard1333]

+Zachary Chase just listen to empricism. this pales in comparison....

[@ChaseZachary]

David Howe Thanks for the tip!

[@Pagnah]

+David Howe Quintessence is even better, as far as I'm concerned.

[@gamian_skillard1333]

Pagnah yeah its good. My first borknagar cd I was introduced to was empiricism tho. It holds a special place within me

[@gamian_skillard1333]

Zachary Chase yeah no sweat man!

[@Samael4673]

vortexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@fernandoantoniobrasildeara4296]

A good Metal band...

[@mayarabotelho8725]

Foda demais...\m/

[@diegomauriciobc]

Foda mesmo...um ótimo som

[@Dennzer1]

good

[@morphenix]

On the deluxe version of the album

[@daniilskobelkin3533]

I am the Earthling

[@phillipequeiroz5760]

Coisa linda de Jesus. Amém Igreja! Album foda pra caralho.

[@Brennbare]

The first album was awesome. After that Borknagar lost my attention due to a horrible second album. But this album made all right. This is a piece of art!!

[@sauron101]

same with me but, first one and the olden domain captures me as well, after that only crap, but this new album is a piece of art

[@absolveusall]

+frenk prinsse Such blasphemy! Archaic Course was their finest hour.. (I could do without everything after), but those first three albums are GOLD

[@MacPatxaran]

+frenk prinsse "The Olden Domain", a horrible album ???? Are you f*ing kidding me ?

[@punkiller666]

+David Labrune and this guy actually sugests 'Quintessence' sucks... jeez, the nerve of some people!

[@JaimeNoro]

+absolveusall Archaic Course will always be my favourite too. It has the same vibe as the first two, but the compositions feel more mature. And Vortex, man, what a perfect delivery.

[@thomasturgerain9003]

where is "my friend of meserie ?"

[@shanemichaelneal648]

Who else thought it said "Turd"?

[@neilmaccannell637]

quintessence wasn't a bad album either a bit heavier and it's too bad Peter tagtrens production killed it I prefer the more organic sounds after that album the choirs etc

[@Necromanticfantasy]

Is that Vortex?

[@Thorword]

Yes. Or, well, sometimes. Vintersorg shows up the most on here, but there's a lot of switching around between him, Vortex, and Lazare On the first song, the lead vocals are all Vintersorg for the first 3 and a half minutes, then Vortex jumps in for about a minute, and Lazare briefly takes over at around 4:40.

[@Necromanticfantasy]

ok i thought i heard him. he has one of those voices that you recognize right away. lol.

[@hobo1839]

wes vw Very true you recognize it right away!

[@Necromanticfantasy]

yes he has a very recognizable voice.

[@OldeVikingOriginal]

wes vw recognize, i like that word

[@rafaelcnsd]

vortex was part of borknagar before he joined dimmu haha

[@brianforbes1538]

This is quite a good album, though the ratio seems to be about 80% clean, 20% black metal vocals - does this still qualify as a black metal album ?

[@quilmesdave]

I call it progressive black metal. Every album is great

[@jamesbarratt6106]

Just think of it as a Borknagar album.

[@felipeherrera6507]

Not black metal anymore, this is just good fucking music to me

[@joejohnson6793]

progressive black metal. sort of like newer enslaved

[@lucasbrain]

This is a rare combination between power metal and melodic death metal, i see no black metal here apart from the shriek vocal style.

[@blackthorn2200]

who? use your words.

[@magoinfernal9313]

oi

[@slackwellbevin5092]

Now you know why you should never piss off ICS Vortex, Dimmu Borgir: He'll leave your band and make another band the best in the world.

[@danielkrommenhoek7120]

He got fired from Dimmu bud.
