One of the most awesome and overlooked Prog Metal bands in my humble opinion
I Love them to death, and the lyrics are beautiful, very untypical for Prog Metal I think. They make me want to pick up a science textbook.

My favourite album is Empiricism. One of my favourite metal albums of all time. I love Quintessence too. (Epic was a slight disappointment - not bad by any means, but not as good as Empiricism. Origin, I can't get into that album.) Indeed they write very interesting lyrics, they can go a bit over the top with it at times but that's probably what makes it good. :) |

The Olden Domain is their best album. Love this band to death.

I have Quintessence and Empiricism. Both are quite excellent. They have some interesting vocal arrangements on Quintessence.
Check out Lars Nedland's other band Solefald sometime, they are very different.

They're good. I have ../album.asp?id=8306 - Epic and ../album.asp?id=8310 - The Olden Domain. I really want to get ../album.asp?id=12834 - Origin though. Out of those two I think I like TOD better which is a very underrated album. ../album.asp?id=8310 - ------------- http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dr-Neil-Kobrin/244687105562746" rel="nofollow - SUPPORT MY FATHER AND BECOME A FAN Jacob Kobrin Illustration |

Epic got me into Borknagar in the first place but I have all their albums. Epic is still my favorite, but I like The Archaic Course as well and http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=8308 - Empiricism is pretty good too. They are not my favorite band though and I much prefer Enslaved if I listen to music in this genre. |
