Empiricism by Borknagar
Borknagar succeed to the crown of epic, intelligent and sophisticated black metal with their masterpiece Empiricism. Symphonic, melodic and opulent compositions meet excesses of black noise and extreme vocals.
"One of the very few bands that keep an undogmatic focus on the perfection of each individual song.“ -
Robert Müller (Metal Hammer Germany), August 2001
A monster of an album featuring new charismatic frontman Andreas Hedlund (known from the band Vintersorg) and Tyr, one of the best and most skilled bass players in the metal scene (Emperor, Satyricon).
Co-produced by Børge Finstad (Mayhem, Ulver).
