Borknagar – Olden Domain [Re-release]

It seems Punishment 18 is dealing with some releases lately, and this something every Nordic Black Metal disciple should have. “Olden Domain” is the second album by Borknagar, released by the Black Metal division of Century Media (called Century Black) in 1997. The self-titled debut was a very good one, a mix of typical Nordic Black Metal and Folk, sometimes described as Viking Black Metal. On “Olden Domain” the raw edge changed more into a more progressive one. Without doubt the best album released by Borknagar and truly a must-have for everyone who enjoys Epic Black Metal with a progressive-ish Folk touch. (Ricardo)
