Borknagar are the brainchild of guitarist Øystein G. Brun, and are celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2016! Brun lays the foundation for every album, but freely admits it's the collaboration with Vintersorg (Cronian, Vintersorg), ICS Vortex (Dimmu Borgir, Arcturus), Lars A. Nedland (Solefald), Jens F. Ryland and Baard Kolstad (Leprous, Rendezvous Point) that makes Borknagar's music unique on the metal scene today. Just like 2012's Urd, Winter Thrice was once again mixed by the incomparable Jens Bogren (Opeth, Kreator, Amon Amarth, Meshuggah) at Fascination Street Studios.
