BORKNAGAR Part Ways With Bassist, Begin Mixing New Album
March 4, 2004Norway's BORKNAGAR have issued the following update on their recent and upcoming activities:
"After numerous delays and bucketloads of unforeseen challenges, we are now finally about to complete the recording of our sixth album. It has taken its time, but we firmly believe that it has been worth the wait. The mixing starts this very weekend, and we are confident that the result will please you.
"The title of the new album is 'Epic' and we are aiming for an early June release, although no date has yet been set by our label [Century Media Records].
" 'Epic' contains 12 new songs of which one is an instrumental piece. Musically the album will take off and expand from where 'Empiricism' ended, and for those of you who liked our previous material: the new album will rock you by the root!
"More news and details regarding the album will be issued soon!
"Due to the fact that Tyr, for personal reasons, sadly has not been fit to record his part of the album, we mutually agreed to part ways. This happened in a friendly manner and for the best for Tyr and the band. We wish him the best for the future! Because of this, the bass on the new album is done by our drummer Asgeir Mickelson."
