BORKNAGAR - Winter Thrice (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[@FeRReTNS]

I still can't believe this song exists. It's like the history of the entire band in a single song. Still one of my favorites to this very day.

[@richardaaron4454]

It’s pretty incredible, I agree. The first album, The Olden Domain and Quintessence are my favorite albums by them but you summed it up well. This seems to be something special for the long time fans.

[@eatdapoopoo67]

an incredible gift for Borknagar fans 🤘

[@Hozenfefer]

I agree with all of you, my friends ❤

[@bowelrupture]

Great to see Kristoffer Rygg (Garm), Andreas Hedlund (Vintersorg), Simen Hestnæs (ICS Vortex) and Lars Are Nedland (Lazare) doing the vocals on a single Borknagar track.

Garm is the man !

[@Neueregel]

Wow. Vortex, Garm, Vintersorg, Nedland altogether, seems like a team of an All-Star game treat. Such a collaboration may have seen impossible 10 years ago. Thx a lot guys. I'm Greek and I listen to Borknagar since the Quintessence and Empiricism days in 2001. Nice holiday gift for Winter and on the right time, because this song was posted on the first night after Winter Solstice 2015 \m/ !!

[@Neueregel]

Achilles A. Γειά σου Αχιλλέα πατρίδα. Νώντας εδώ. Απλά ανέφερα ότι ειναι ανεπανάληπτη συνεργασία. Είδα Live Arcturus με Vortex το 2004, Ulver με Garm το 2010, αλλά Borknagar δυστυχως οχι ακόμα. Αν και τους ακουω από πολύ παλιά όταν ηταν πιο φαση Folk-Pagan και οχι τοσο Avant-Garde metal, αλλά ειχαν κομματάρες ειδικά στα Epic και Εmpiricism. Πολλοι εδω, λογω Century media τους ακουνε πρωτη φορά, αλλά τουλαχιστον ακούνε και κατι καινουριο. Απο Νορβηγικό Black, παντα μ'αρεσε οτι ηταν καπως πιο σκεπτομενο οπως Thorns, Enslaved, Borknagar, Emperor, Dodheaimsgard, Ved Buens Ende, και οχι χαβαλεδες τυπου Gorgoroth, Ιmpaled nazarene, Cradle και κατι αλλους full στο tremolo, στα απλά ξυσίματα και στα βοθριλίκια. Λολ.

5:17 that little nod after he growls "Winter Thrice" is like he wants to make sure you understand he really means it.

[@tomaszgarbus4584]

To me it looks like a tiny headbang that long haired vocalists often do after finishing a verse

Vintersorg was famous for his very long hair. He cut it for a local cancer campaign that needed long hair to make wigs for chemo patients.

Yes, although we founded much of the land, us Danes are completely ignored & somehow Iceland & Finland are thought of. lol.

[@BeowulfNorther]

Søren Nielsen yeah seriously man..the Danes literally WERE the Vikings that everyone always equates to swedes and Norwegians, who were mostly farmers. their occupation in England the Danelaw lasted like 400 years, and they held both crowns for a while. you subdued the rest of Scandinavia for centuries, it's kind of weird you're an afterthought for most people now, when Finland is more Slavic than Nordic, although really they're one of the most unique and one of a kind cultures on the planet without much crossover between other ethnic groups

[@MetalMinded2011]

When singularly talented musicians come together... we rejoice. Vortex is fantastic as always but Garm is pure magic here. Only upon listening to it many times becomes evident what a universe he packs into that kind of calm, understated style of singing. Masterful - as is the entire song, from start to finish.

[@GhostDj]

+One True Vikingbard he was hospitalized during the last european tour, but it was some minor back problem if i recall correctly, nothing serious

[@madevil21]

+eriatarka Not only that. He had some loss of hearing. But i guess now he is fully recovered.

[@ilankutsman4965]

+Vaggos Tsek not fully, afaik he did suffer from some permanent damage to his hearing. he's not deaf but there has been a loss of some hearing in one of his ears. ,"The minor back problem" what happened was, Andreas helped a friend move and carried heavy furniture and at some point he slipped and fell -apart from the back problem from the fall and the loss of hearing due to hitting his head when he fell, i think he also broke his arm at that point.

[@ilankutsman4965]

+One True Vikingbard What's odd is that Vintersorg appears on the recordings of the new album and in this video but not in the recent promo photos of the band...I would understand his absence if they were taken during the tour while he was hospitalized but Garm is in some of them which makes me suspect that the photos were taken during the new album sessions.Then again perhaps because he was injured, he came only to the sessions he needed to record after most of the album was already recorded, plus he's the only swede in the bunch

[@Valravn13]

+Ilan Kutsman he probably did his sessions either before his injury or from home in Sweden. The recent promo pictures were taken during the video shoot which Vintersorg wasn't a part of because he couldn't fly to Norway from his home in Sweden.
