Band: Borknagar
Home Page:
Location:
Status:
Played black metal early on but then changed their sound into a more symphonic black metal style with viking/medieval and traditional folk elements in the mix.
The name Borknagar is an anagram of "Ragnarok", with a B thrown in to make it pronounceable (however, Øystein Brun stated once that the name was inspired by a Scottish myth about a man who climbed Loch Nagar, a mountain in Scotland). Early drummer Erik Brødreskift commited suicide on April 10, 1999.
