Majestic Rebirth of a Nordic Masterpiece. With Origin, Borknagar strips back the layers of their cosmic black/progressive metal heritage to reveal something deeply organic, melodic, and profoundly atmospheric. Originally released as a bold acoustic statement, Origin stands as a testament to the band’s versatility, depth, and timeless songwriting – and now, it receives the deluxe vinyl treatment it truly deserves.

 

Sevan Mater presents this gem in a stunning new Triple Gatefold Edition, available in two strictly limited runs: 500 copies on Gold Vinyl and 500 copies on Red Vinyl. The Triple Gatefold packaging alone is a collector’s dream – beautifully designed, elegant, and immersive, perfectly echoing the rich natural textures and philosophical layers of the music within.

 

Musically, Origin is a journey through the soul of Borknagar – acoustic guitars, piano, flutes, and layered vocals flow like Nordic rivers through landscapes of introspection and grandeur. It’s both intimate and vast, a reflection of nature and spirit, myth and memory. The songs breathe, echoing ancient winds and the wisdom of the North. Tracks like “White” and “The Human Nature” reveal an emotional core often hinted at in Borknagar’s heavier works, now fully unmasked.

 

This album is not a detour – it is an essential chapter, perhaps one of the most sincere and poetic ever released in the metal world. Whether you’re a long-time fan or discovering this masterpiece for the first time, this limited edition reissue is not to be missed. A glowing tribute to one of the most daring and visionary bands in modern metal – this is Borknagar at their most elemental, and most profound.
