With major international tours and chart placements around the world, after more than 30 years, Borknagar remain a consistently evolving force. Since their self-titled beginnings during the mid-’90s, the Norwegian mainstays have pushed past black metal’s grim domain. On their sixth album, the band shifted even further in a more epic direction.
Today, Season of Mist is proud to announce a reissue of Borknagar’s 2004 full-length Epic. By introducing more progressive wonders behind newly cemented vocalist Vintersorg, this album cemented the band’s place as true epics of progressive black metal.
Epic will be reissued by Season of Mist on June 19, 2026. Pre-order: https://redirect.season-of-mist.com/BorknagarShop
