In order to further promote BORKNAGAR\u2019s much acclaimed current album \u201dUrd\u201d, which was voted \u201calbum of the month\u201d in the Germany\u2019s Metal Hammer Magazine as well as Norway\u2019s Scream Magazine upon release, a video clip for the outstanding song \u201cThe Earthling\u201d track has recently been finalized, and can be viewed below:<\/p>\n

\nBORKNAGAR\u2019s mastermind \u00d8ystein G. Brun comments on the video as follows:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lyrical core-theme of BORKNAGAR has always been to portray the primal encounter between man and Nature, to project the poetry of Nature and to profess pondering about man\u2019s existence therein. <\/em><\/p>\n

Over the last couple of months we have been working with Twitchy Films to produce a video for the song \u201cThe Earthling\u201d. Thematically, this song really grips onto the backbone of the album \u201cUrd\u201d and the band in general. As with our music, we wanted to do something really unique and special- and not a typical metal video. You won\u2019t see a raging metal band in dim lights with scary effects, but rather a video that sophistically portray the beauty, magnitude and power of the Nature. Kjetil Kolbj\u00f8rnsrud and David Solbj\u00f8rg at Twitchy Films spent allot of time and effort to get the right shots and the perfect vibe. They spent hours and days in the Norwegian wilderness to make this video a reality. As you know, Nature is untamable. Hands down for their efforts and the great work! Enjoy, folks!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
