Borknagar Guitarists: South America Show Dates Had A Lot of “Passion”

Borknagar guitarists Jens F. Ryland and Øystein G. Brun were recently interviewed by Jasmin St. Claire; transcription of the interview can be read below.

Ryland and Brun spoke about the band's recent live dates in South America….

Øystein: "It's a lot of passion. A lot of love, a lot of intensity. Everything, basically. Amazing. The response from the audience was overwhelming a lot of the times, so to speak."

...as well as on the lyrical themes found on the band's 2016 "Winter Thrice" album:

Øystein: "I don't want to be a traffic sign telling a simple story. To me, it's a little more philosophical, different layers and stuff. 'Winter Thrice' is referring to Norwegian mythology and Fimbulwinter in Northern mythology, warning signs from nature that the world is about to fall apart, so to speak. It's kinda philosophical. Again, we always focus on this life and death, the circle of life, all those things, in a philosophical way. On 'Winter Thrice', we had a different approach than previous albums. We used nature as a scenery for the whole lyrical expression."
