During the past decade BORKNAGAR have only appeared live a dozen times, mostly visiting festivals like Wacken, Inferno and this summer, Brutal Assault. Before that, BORKNAGAR did several full-length tours, first time in Europe in 1998 as support for In Flames, second tour in 1998 as support for Cradle of Filth and Napalm Death. This was followed up with a North America tour in summer 1999 as support for Emperor. BORKNAGAR stopped touring after the release of the album „Empiricism” in 2001 and focused on recording, resulting in 4 more studio albums.

BORKNAGAR released their latest album „Urd” in March 2012, marking the 9th studio release in the band’s 18-year career. The album saw the return of ICS Vortex (ex Dimmu Borgir) to the band’s ranks and the release was supported with a rare concert appearance headlining the Inferno Festival in Oslo / Norway, also introducing Baard Kolstad as the band’s new drummer. BORKNAGAR then also appeared at Brutal Assault Festival in Czech Republic in August 2013 and introduced Pål „Athera” Mathiesen as stand-in vocalist for Vintersorg.

The album’s artwork was designed by Brazilian artist Marcelo Vasco (www.P2RDESIGN.com), who has not only already worked on the band’s previous „Universal” release but also with artists such as Soulfly, Belphegor, Einherjer or Keep of Kalessin. The mixing duties for the album were taken care of by Jens Bogren at Sweden’s Fascination Street Studios (Opeth, Paradise Lost, Katatonia, etc.).
