Norwegian Avantgarde Metallers BORKNAGAR are premiering a first promotional song off their much anticipated new studio album, "Urd", today via the website of Metal Hammer (Germany). Go check out the enthralling track "Roots" HERE! BORKNAGAR's mastermind Øystein G. Brun checked in to comment about the song as follows: "In regards to the depth, diversity and magnitude of our new album, "Urd", it almost feels painful to slice off just a tiny bit of the bloody roast for the very first official "starter". I would argue that each and every song on the new album stands on solid ground, but as usual with our music, the songs empower each other in the context of a full album. That said, "Roots" is probably the song on the album that gives you the most representative impression of "Urd".

Hope you enjoy this song, the first tiny glimpse into our new opus. The beast is about to be unleashed..."

Things have come full circle a decade later, and Leach and the band couldn't be more pleased about this reunion.

You don't have a ticket for the Out Of Line Weekender, yet? You want to see Blutengel but weren't able to grab one of the last day tickets for Sunday? As the day ticket contingent for March 4th, 2012 is now basically sold out, leaving only weekend tickets, we are happy that we can make you a special deal for those in cooperation with X-Tra-X! The lads and ladies at X-Tra-X were quite enthused by our concept of having a festival that is trying something new and does not only feature the round of "usual suspects" but would give the entire spectrum of our scene a due forum. Hence, they have spontaneously decided to join our event as a sponsor to make the weekend tickets a more attractive offer for you.
