Die norwegischen Avantgarde und Progressive Black Metaller BORKNAGAR kündigen für den 23. Februar ihr neues Studiowerk „Fall“ an. Der zwölfte Longplayer der Band enthält acht frische Tracks mit dem unverwechselbaren, epischen Sound der Band und mit 54 Minuten Laufzeit, gemixt von Jens Bogren. Als erster Appetithappen wurde heute die Vorabauskopplung `Summits´ samt Visualizer online gestellt.

Gitarrist und Bandgründer Øystein G. Brun erklärt:

„From the day you are born, Nature will do everything in its power to get you back into the ground. The lonesome struggle of being you or the mighty struggle of all life in general, will eventually tear you down from the inside- or from the outside. But for the short glimpse of time we endure, we all seek the ultimate heights of our very own existence. Our first single “Summits” from the new album “Fall” scope in on this everlasting drama of life – where the drama unfolds – at the very outskirts of life.“

Lyrics:

The towering rocks, untamed, rise stark and bold,
Reflecting in my eyes, as forces clash,
In this our own expanse where lives unfold,
I plant my feet and feel the sleet’s coarse lash.

The windswept summits, plains that gently sway,
Beyond the rifts, dark rumbling drifts away,
I fix my gaze and watch the vaulting grey
I’m here to thrive, to build another day.

A distant flicker, hues in highland fields,
A flame, a spark, a pulsing glow it wields,
On these unsheltered grounds my future gleams,
A song that resonates with vibrant themes.

The choir sings hoarsely, I fear no strife,
I seek out my solace, I shape my own life.
Austere persistence, a mantra I keep,
I conquer the challenges, steep after steep.

Resounding through forests, these resolute calls,
Horizons await, where splendour enthralls.
With each step I take, on this stark, boundless quest,
I embrace the hardships, I greet every test.
For in the pursuit of these sights still unseen,
I carry my history, bold and serene
