Konečne aj nejaké potešujúce správy: I.C.S Vortex sa vracia do BORKNAGAR.

"Over the past months, there has been a wide array of rumors and speculations about I.C.S Vortex’ involvement with BORKNAGAR, so now it’s time for us to bring this out from the dungeons and into the plains of clarity: Vortex is back as a permanent member of BORKNAGAR. Vortex will handle the bass as well as doing vocals together with Vintersorg.

Infernofestival also announces that BORKNAGAR is confirmed to next years edition, doing a rare concert with both these renowned singers on stage. You will also find the band signing autographs at this years Inferno (Saturday at 20:00)

ICS Vortex was re- introduced to BORKNAGAR in 2010 after a 10 year break with his participation on “Universal” as guest vocalist, and also stepped up to help out the band on a tour of South- America that was later canceled. After this, the rumors and speculations have been many, and here is the confirmation that so many have hoped for."

I.C.S Vortex: “I am chuffed and proud to be part of the Borknagar universe once again. Hailing the dawn of a new era, I lionize their splendorous glare."

Øystein G. Brun: “Even though Mr. Vortex has been absent from the band for almost a decade due to other musical endeavors, he has always remained a good, loyal and supportive friend of the band. Personally, I have always had a feeling that our paths would cross again – and now they do. I would like to welcome Mr. Vortex back in the fold, and I am really exited to get another opus done with the strongest line-up BORKNAGAR has ever had. Just imagine the musical potential having two of the best and most renowned vocalists in the scene in the same band. This is surely a huge step forward and another exciting chapter in the musical legacy of BORKNAGAR – and I feel like a lucky bastard being part of this. The new album will surely knock your socks off and set some new standards in the world of metal!“
