 | | Where The Archaic Course was more a medievally inspired and wannabe-epic album, Borknagar centers around more catholic hymns and lyrics (but still keeping things like autumn/winter/forests tr00), and has achieved a whole new dimension of sound, infinitely more so than in the formerly mentioned album. |
 | | Of course, as any epic release, the album requires musicianship, the ability to compose epic pieces (unearthly melodies, extravagant synth use, experimental cacophony), and the band's total immersion in it. |
 | | Of course, epic=progressive, and I absolutely adore the inhuman vocals on the songs, but they may be too "goofy" for the most traditional fl metal fans out there. |
