Ein bunter Strauß Neuigkeiten aus dem Lager von BORKNAGAR: Die Norweger haben die Arbeiten an ihrem neuen Album abgeschlossen. „Universal“ wird Ende des Jahres via Indie Recordings veröffentlicht.

Dazu Bandleader Øystein G. Brun: “We are extremely satisfied with the result! The album turned out even better than we dared to hope for when starting this journey. There is an attitude, energy and nerve to this record that will appeal to the most primal side of man, yet there is complexity and atmosphere that will challenge the most sophisticated parts of mind. The album contains all the elements that made BORKNAGAR the band we are and we are firmly believe that this album will be a huge piece of candy for those who have followed the band through the years. This is by far the most complete album we have done to date- musically and productionwise- and we are right now just immensely eager to get the album out there!”

Vor Veröffentlichung des Albums werden BORKNAGAR zusammen mit CODE, SOLSTAFIR und SECRETS OF THE MOON drei exklusive Shows spielen:

24.09.2009 GER Hamburg, Markthalle
25.09.2009 NL Leeuwarden, Romein
26.09.2009 GER Oberhausen, Turbinenhalle

Außerdem werden BORKNAGAR auf dem Wacken Open Air vertreten sein.
