BORKNAGAR

Breaking news from the BORKNAGAR camp, from mastermind Řystein G. Brun:

“The recording of our next album will start early next year. We estimate to use about 4-6 months to record the album, as we want to use the time needed to get the album as close to perfection as possible. The album will be recorded in the same recording facilities as last time [Fagerborg and Toproom Studios] with Břrge Finstad behind the desk. Musically the album will be a continuation of Empiricism. Apart from that, we deem the right to keep the rest as a secret… he,he…. As of yet, there is no title for the album, but some song titles are ready: “Cyclus,” “The Inner Ocean Hypothesis,” The Wonder,” “Quintessence,” “Future Reminiscence,” and “Relate (Dialogo).”

In related news, after years of “processing” the idea, guitarist Řystein G. Brun and vocalist Vintersorg have decided to fulfill the plan to do a project together. The project is called ION and an album is due to be recorded during 2003.
