  Borknagar interview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
However, the self-titled album (out on Malicious Records) was not their only release; it was swiftly followed by two albums on Century Media ("The Olden Domain" and "The Archaic Course"), and the band was recognized for their unique approach to epic atmospheric fl metal.
Of course, at the end, we were a little bit tired from the whole thing and each other.
Of course, musically, I think we have progressed a lot, the new album is more maturely performed, we have better musicians.

Regardless, The Archaic Course finds the band sharpening their edge and finally becoming interesting enough to recommend.
Their last album, The Archaic Course, had the lasting ability and tended to become more interesting with each listen over the course of time.
The conclusions I've drawn is that the lineup shifting certainly hasn't hurt the band's songwriting ambition and the new members are almost entirely a shift upwards in terms of talent.

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.

We'll of course progress on the next album, but we'll keep much of the basic vibe that's made us and distinguishes our sound.
I think The Archaic Course is the most epic album we can do, so if we try to be more epic, it'll be forced and come out kind of cheesy.
It's not the song that's gone on to be the hit of the album, but it's the song, lyrically and musically, that's closest to the perfect thing I've ever done.

 Borknagar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Of course there will be some progression, but I think we'll keep the same mood, the same vibe so to speak.
I think a lot of people expected us on The Archaic Course to completely sell-out, do something commercial and wimp out, so we wanted to kind of state the we're doing what we've always done and will keep on doing.
It's flattering, of course, but at the end of the day if we get some bad reviews, I really don't think it's going to affect me. I just do my thing, as long as I feel comfortable with the music and the band, that's good enough for me.

Borknagar's 1998 release, The Archaic Course, maintained the bold trajectory the band established on The Olden Domain, taking them even further from their fl metal roots.
A career-long struggle with production hinders the more aggressive early section of Archaic Course as heavily layered guitars and keyboards swarm into a throbbing white noise.
While a more detailed production would have helped The Archaic Course, the record is still an imaginative one that fans of Norway's Borknagar should enjoy.

Albums such as "The Archaic Course" express the band's love of nature, Norwegian landscapes, and everything to do with Mother Earth and Father Time, while "Quintessence" expresses the band's deep interest in science, the creation of the universe, and a slight hint of the paranormal.
The Archaic Course was the first album of the band I bought.
If you are interested in Borknagar, then listen to The Archaic Course first, because it is the easiest album to get into.

 CoC : Borknagar - The Archaic Course : Review
Garm has left the band; the new vocalist is Simen Hestnaes, who performed lead vocals on Arcturus' "The Chaos Path" and some backing vox on a couple other tracks on that same album, _La Masquerade Infernale_.
The total length of the album is a bit disappointing (less than 38 minutes), and the other songs are, although still very good, slightly inferior to these three -- otherwise, a 9 out of 10 would certainly have been given.
Overall, I still like _The Olden Domain_ a bit better, but _The Archaic Course_ also has a good number of truly excellent moments.

In Music We Trust - Borknagar: The Archaic Course
I am a big proponent of bands who want to develop and mature their sound but that doesn't mean that I have to stomach everything that bands do in the name of progress.
On the positive the band is definitely trying to forge a new path through the overgrown fl metal jungle and they certainly sound tight and mature but I can't listen to 'mature' for its own sake and some attempts at forging new paths result in the explorers getting lost.
