Borknagar‘s new album “True North” has officially been scheduled for a September 27th release. The band have extended their record deal with Century Media and will be releasing the album through the label. The band’s guitarist Øystein G. Brun commented:
“This has indeed been a thunderous ride, and we are truly excited to finally start revealing some news about our upcoming album. We have spent almost 2 years writing, recording and producing ‘True North‘ and we are extremely proud of what we have achieved this time around.
- Advertisement -On behalf of the whole band, I can firmly say that we have pushed the limits of our musical exploration, while our musical roots have grown even deeper into the northern ground. This is the most diverse, powerful and grandiose Borknagar album to date! Let there be no doubt!
Yet again we have been working with Thor Erik Dullum and Marcelo Vasco Arts for cover and layout design. From the very beginning of the process, we wanted this album to have a very clear, crisp and organic cover that spearheads the cold and northern essence of the album. So what could be more natural than basing it on our very own Nordic surroundings?
Furthermore, we are also very happy to reveal that we have extended our deal with Century Media Records.
Onwards!”
The group had Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia) mix and master the effort. The album follows last year’s departure of vocalist, etc. Vintersorg with bassist Simen “I.C.S. Vortex” Hestnæs having since taken over the vocal duties.
