眾所周知，挪威黑暗金屬圈善于來回組合。BORKNAGAR正是典型的一個(gè)，他擁有耀眼的全明星陣容。1995年組建，成員來自多個(gè)挪威經(jīng)典樂隊(duì)：樂隊(duì)核心 - 吉他手Oystein Garnes Brun （MOLESTED）、主唱是大名鼎鼎的 Garm（ULVER）；鼓手Grim（前IMMORTAL、GORGOROTH）；鍵盤手Ivar Bjornson（ENSLAVED）和貝司手Infernus（GORGOROTH）。后來還有Andreas Hedlund （HAVAYOTH），Asgeir Mickelson（SPIRAL ARCHITECT）。這一支樂隊(duì)的出現(xiàn)打破了過去挪威舊有的黑暗金屬傳統(tǒng)，創(chuàng)造出了一種融合了黑暗金屬、北歐民謠以及史詩風(fēng)格的前衛(wèi)黑暗音樂。時(shí)至今日，BORKNAAR依然保持這自己在難為黑暗領(lǐng)域發(fā)展的探索先鋒地位，對於挪威的黑暗金屬界有相當(dāng)重要的影響。

A combination side project and supergroup of the Norwegian black metal scene, Borknagar members Oystein G. Brun (guitar, ex-Molested), Garm (vocals, also of Ulver and Arcturus), Ivar Bjornson (keyboards, ex-Enslaved), Infernus (bass), and Grim (drums; also of Immortal and Gorgoroth) started their own project in 1995. Not wasting any time, their self-titled debut came out early the following year on Malicious Records, and landed them a deal with Century Media Records soon thereafter. Kai Lie replaced Infernus for their second album The Olden Domain in 1997, and Borknagar undertook a full-scale European tour in support. With new vocalist I.C.S. Vortex (b. Simen Hestnaes) and guitarist Jens F. Ryland, Borknagar immediately jumped back into the studio to record and release 1998's progressive The Archaic Course without any breaks in between. Unfortunately, Grim died of a sleeping-pill overdose in October 1999; he was replaced by Asgeir Mickelson. For 2000's even more progressive Quintessence album, Vortex took over bass duties, and new keyboardist Lasare signed on.
