In Huxley’s dystopian…

Released last week, Norway’s own Borknagar released what may be one of their best albums to date with their 12th full-length LP, Fall.

Crawl around the gates of hell. Glass crown, uncovered mound In love’s fierce grip, we yield, our selves dissolve, as two souls merge in passion’s deep embrace.
