	Asgeir Mickelson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Asgeir Mickelson, som vokste opp på Kongsvinger og Årnes, spiller trommer i metalgruppene Borknagar og Spiral Architect.
		I 1999 overtok Asgeir også som trommeslager i Borknagar, et av europas ledende metal-band.
		Asgeir har også vært sessionmusiker for Lunaris (som i løpet av 2001 utgir sin debutplate) og medvirker også på Enslavement of Beautys plate Megalomania (2001).

	Metal Hordes Forums - View Single Post - ASGEIR MICKELSON/TJODALV/RENO KILLERICH/GENE HOGLAND To Join DIMMU BORGIR?
		As an update to previous reports, drummer Asgeir Mickelson (BORKNAGAR, SPIRAL ARCHITECT) has denied the rumors that he will be the session drummer for DIMMU BORGIR's upcoming live appearances.
		Their drumming is excellent and especially Nick's work is demanding, so I would probably need a couple of months to get in shape for such an extreme style of playing (especially since I've hardly played drums at all since I did the VINTERSORG album last summer).
		Killerich, widely considered to be one of the most skilled speed/grind drummers around, won the title "fastest feet in the world" with more than 800 hits on the pedals in one minute at the NAMM music convention in the U.S., according to published reports.

		As a footnote, it was worth a mention that Steinar and Asgeir played in progressive act Spiral Architect together with bass player/co-singer Maztema [actually Øyvind Hægeland].
		In the sleeve notes, Asgeir Mickelson is solely credited as a studio drummer, and Lunaris has already employed another drummer in the shape of the unknown Italian Janos di Croce, but M offers a plausible explanation for this as well.
		Asgeir was only a full time member for a few months in 1999.

	VINTERSORG - In-Depth
		It soon became clear, after the pre-production work in their small studio Seven Stars, that a drummer capable of handling the technical and creative aspects of the new material would be needed.
		Asgeir Mickelson (Spiral Architect, Borknagar), with whom Vintersorg already had a working relationship through Borknagar, joined the recording efforts.
		The album was made possible by the brilliant contributions of guest musicians Asgeir Mickelson (drums), Steve Di Giorgio (bass), Nils Johansson (analogue synth, loop editing, hammond on track 4), and Lars Nedland (hammond on track 3).

		The band has already completed the work on their debut album, "...the Infinite", and if all goes to plan we will be able to release the album sometime in August.
		Lunaris recorded "...the Infinite" with drummer Asgeir Mickelson (Spiral Architect and Borknagar), guitarists Azarak (Spiral Architect and Satyricon) and M (backing Vocals), bassist and vocalist Maztema (Spiral Architect), vocalist Balfori (ex-1349) and keyboardist Ray.
		On "Creative Destruction" Asgeir Mickelson (Spiral Architect and Borknagar), who had previously been a member of the band, was hired as session drummer.

	LUNARIS
		ASGEIR is a long-time friend of the band, so although he has not always played in LUNARIS, we've always sort of considered him a member.
		ASGEIR has so many other commitments, that it is hard for him to be a permanent member in just one band.
		M: ASGEIR stepped in to record for us as a session member.

		Vintersorg: I would say consciously it hasn’t really done that because I write all the songs at home with pre-production and programming and we present the songs to the other guys then they take their vision and filter it out through their minds.
		I think when he (Asgeir) and Steve (Digiorio, bass) joined for the album before (Visions From the Spiral Generator), the album became more progressive than I thought it would be.
		When those guys are in doing their stuff, there is always going to be a lot of abstract elements and I wouldn’t say those guys are ‘show-offs’, but they are musical wizards in a way.

	PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY STEPHANIE SOLLOW
		Although, when the band -- Øysten G Brun, guitars; Lars A Nedland, synthesizers; Asgeir Mickelson, drums; Jens F Ryland, guitar; and Tyr on bass — and Vintersorg play/sing "clean," it becomes something that will appeal to progressive metal fans.
		One point where they do hit the mark (and there is more than one) is "Soul Sphere" which brings to mind Pain Of Salvation, as here Vintersorg sings in soaring, plaintive tones (terms which might seem at odds), while the rest of the band plays melodically behind him.
		Not that I don't think Mickelson's a good drummer, he demonstrates he is on other parts of the album.

		Asgeir Mickelson also shines, proving himself to be even more of an omnimusician on "Epic," this time covering bass as well as drums.
		With every other Borknagar album, a new group of people came together to interpret Øystein Brun's vision of "the yearning moods that entertain fantasy, and call revelations in our minds concerning the ancient past," as was set forth in the band's eponymous debut.
		This time, with Brun striving to cover both guitars, and Mickelson recording bass, it's almost as if it was hard enough to get this album recorded and released on time, let alone offer a new interpretation of any sort.

	BORKNAGAR discography, MP3 and reviews
		The band was formed in 1995 by guitarist Øystein Brun, who left his former band MOLESTED because he wanted to explore the more melodic sides of metal.
		The band has gone through several line-up changes and today it consists of Brun (guitars), Andreas Hedlund aka Vintersorg (vocals), Lars Nedland aka Lazare (keyboards) and Asgeir Mickelson (drums).
		Their first, self titled album is a fl metal album with Norwegian lyrics, but all the later albums have been sung in English and with the change of language the music has also evolved.

		But that inspiration is not really a direct one, it´s more the impression of their music, the power in it that I always liked to capture.
		To me, his drumming is a lot like the drumming of Gene Hoglan on the fabulous Death-release "Symbolic"...
		Asgeir is really into these progressive drum styles...

		Asgeir [Mickelson, drums] is building a studio next year and we will be demoing everything there...maybe even use it for the album.

		Both are fine musicians and will give Borknagar a new fresh sound to continue with.

		The drum sound (except for the overheads recording cymbals) was actually pretty good but unfortunately they were buried in the mix.

		Asgeir Mickelson (baterista do Spiral Architect) e o tecladista Lars A. Nedland foram os escolhidos para gravar "Quintessence".
		“A partir de Quintessence o Borknagar passou a ser chamado por alguns críticos de progressive fl metal, isso deve-se principalmente ao fato do baterista Asgeir Mickelson, que também toca numa banda de progressive metal (bastante auto-indulgente) chamada Spiral Architect.
		Agora em 2004 o Borknagar composto agora por Vintersorg nos vocais, Lars A. Nedland nos teclados, Asgeir Mickelson na bateria e Øystein Garnes Brun lançam Epic, o mais novo trabalho de estúdio da banda, onde apresenta uma maior variedade de estilos, não se prendendo somente ao fl metal.

		He is able to pull off a death growl, fl metal shriek as well as a soaring clean vocal with ease.
		Drummer Asgeir Mickelson handles the entire rhythm section (as well as stunning cover art once again) on EPIC since bassist Tyr left before recording began.
		Vintersorg’s harsh rasp is juxtaposed with his clean vocals on this track and Mickelson’s blastbeats create one of the heavier numbers on the CD.

		Through the obscure aesthetic of metal, they at once poise philosophical questions engaging in provoking conversation but not for the sake of achieving explanations.
		The immense, graceful and emotionally-charged vocals of Vintersorg, the fury behind Øystein and Jens' guitar playing, the mathematical equations of Asgeir's drumming, Tyr's grandiose bass lines and the somber moodscapes of keyboardist Lazare all cohesively construct a tale of mature, mist-laden self-exploration guided by the ingenious essence of creation and boundless permutations of sound.
		Empiricism carries with it an unmistakable and intrinsic passion that fuels all things destined to evolve.

		Over the ensuing years, the band went through the usual line-up changes, with only guitarist and principal songwriter Oystein G. Brun remaining a constant.
		By 2000, however, the current line-up was in place with Vintersorg on vocals, Asgeir Mickelson on drums, and Lars Nedland on keyboards (bass player Tyr recently left the group, and Asgeir handled the bass parts on the new album).
		On their latest CD, the aptly titled ‘Epic’, the band is once again pushing the limits of heavy music, mixing some of the most brutal and heavy riffing you’ll find anywhere with calm, folk-influenced passages.
