Borknagar

Formed in 1995 by Øystein Garnes Brun of Norwegian death metal band Molested, with members of Gorgoroth, Arcturus, Enslave, Immortal and Ulver to create what had become one of the most intriguing and stylish bands to come out of Norway. The debut has been chosen here to represent the coming together of Borknagar in a razor sharp primitive display of violent Black Metal. The release has none of the polish of the future albums, and yet the Viking leanings of the vocals manage to cement the sound at the very heart of Norwegian Black Metal. The following 1997 album, The Olden Domain, and certainly its natural offspring, The Archaic Course album, in 1998, cemented that unique Borknagar style.
Borknagar have that rare distinguished sound and are one of the few acts to own such a distinctive style that is instantly recognizable.
Other acts to own such status [out side the genre] are the likes of Bal
Sagoth, Sigh, and more obviously Voi Vod. Inimitable so to speak, whereas most other acts are mutated across the board.
