BORKNAGAR - progressive extreme metal anniversary

October 22, 2001: Borknagar - Empiricism - Century Media Records

"Empiricism is the fifth studio album by Norwegian progressive metal band Borknagar. It is their first studio album to feature Vintersorg frontman Andreas Hedlund on vocals and Jan Erik 'Tyr' Tiwaz on bass. It was also the last album to feature Jens F. Ryland on guitar until his return to the band in 2010." -Wikipedia

"Each of the songs flow extremely well, so you never skip a beat. Each of the songs has a little of everything: some sections are more guitar driven, some are more keyboard oriented, and there are always spaces open for Asgeir's drumming to shine, or Vintersorg's great vocal work to take center stage, and, in the case of Four Element Synchronicity's bridge section, even for a bass/piano duet by Lazare and Tyr. It's an excellent album for black metal fans, and progressive metal fans alike. One of my all time favorites." -Progressive mastery - 96% Dark_Mewtwo1, May 2nd, 2006 - The Metal Archives
