Dive into the sonic abyss with Borgne’s new album. Between chaos and hypnotic melodies, the Swiss band redefines the boundaries of industrial black metal. An immersive, cold, and suffocating masterpiece where hammering rhythms and synthetic layers merge into a nihilistic whirlwind. For those who crave raw intensity and mesmerizing soundscapes. Much more than a simple album, it's a manifesto, a reincarnation, a cry emanating from nothingness. This new opus marks an essential quest: to reappropriate a dissolved identity, to draw on the darkness to be reborn in a strange, infinite world devoid of hope. Each track is a catharsis, a journey between destruction and reconstruction, where darkness becomes a creative force.

Dark, ambient and atmospheric sounds from France.
 

Dressed again in sci-fi / space aesthetic by renowned visual artist Alexander Preuss, Progenie Terrestre Pura, or in short q[T]p, return after a few years hiatus with their second album 'oltreLuna'.
Powered by consistant line-up changes and additions, Davide -q[T]p former member- armed all weapons of the spaceship in order to repeat success after the much acclaimed debut album 'U.M.A.' (2013).

Paying much more attention to every small detail during recording and production, the band managed to capture a more organic and "real" sound, and although keeping their atmospheric nature, dared to explore what we couldn't foresee before (like the use of ethnic sounds), resulting more aggressive yet more sophisticated at the same time.

'oltreLuna' shows a relevant step-further since its predecessor, taking profit of new elements left unexplored during their first astral journey and thus avoiding to close themselves in the debut album's gold and self celebration and by all means drawing the basis of a bright future

BORKNAGAR stay true to metal’s origins by letting their spirit guide them. Starting with their self-titled beginnings back in 1996, these Norwegians pushed past the boundaries set by traditional black metal. Over the course of the past 30 years, the band’s domain has come to include prog, neofolk and darkly enchanting hard rock, capped by major international tours and chart placements across the world. Eleven albums into their storied journey, they reached another creative peak on ’True North’ in 2019.
‘True North’ found BORKNAGAR at a crossroad. Half of the band’s lineup had turned over, but their longstanding members kept them on a dizzying upward trajectory. Whether picking or riffing, founder and guitarist Øystein Brun led the way, lighting a path for the versatile ICS Vortex (Arcturus, ex-Dimmu Borgir) to return to the mic. His thunderous cleans shine amidst the warm misty keys of hit single “Up North”, while his screams cut through the more hellish passages of “The Fire That Burns”. Even when hounded by “Voices”, keyboardist Lars Nedland’s resounding chorus resonated far and wide.
Loudwire named the album one of the best of 2019.
