BORKNAGAR

With their debut, self-titled album, the band began as a melodic Viking/Black metal outfit, but with The Olden Domain and all albums following it, an evolution of a more progressive approach to Viking-themed metal began to appear, made official by Vintersorg's acquiring of the vocal duties in his trademark manner.

In a recent interview, Øystein G. Brun said that the band name originated from a Scottish myth. The myth involves a man who climbed Loch Nagar (a mountain in Scotland.)

Øystein G. Brun and Vintersorg together have formed a band called Cronian (which was formerly known as {link Ion}).
