Borknagar Comments On Reaction To New Album "Winter Thrice"

"Winter Thrice" (reviewed here) the 10th studio album from Norway's very own progressive / epic black metal pioneers Borknagar is out now through Century Media Records.

In the United States, "Winter Thrice" hit # 17 on the Billboard Heatseekers and #15 on the Billboard Hard Rock chart. In Germany the album reached #62, in Switzerland # 90, and in Finland #44. Guitarist Jens F. checked in with a comment regarding the release:

"The first feedback on 'Winter Thrice' has been completely mind blowing to us! Our dedicated fans have made so much fuzz that we even seem to attract some new listeners, resulting in listings on album charts in several countries. Even the video for the title song is being received in a way that has us debating if we should do another one!

"We are truly inspired to act on the response and have been working for a while to set up a tour, and here we go! 12 European gigs added to the summer festivals already makes this our busiest year since 1999, and we hope to add even more. We intend to adjust our plans according to the feedback we get, so make sure your voice is heard!"
