The release of the newest, 10th studio album entitled Winter Thrice by Norwegian epic black metal pioneers BORKNAGAR on January 22nd, 2016 via Century Media Records worldwide is drawing closer.

Recently the band launched a promotional video clip directed by David Solbjorg and Kjetil Kolbjornsrud of Twitchy Films for the album's title track, which also features former/original vocalist and Ulver-mastermind Kristoffer Rygg on guest vocals.

BORKNAGAR founder and guitarist Øystein G. Brun commented about the clip as follows: "Finally it's time to present our brand new video for the song "Winter Thrice". Being the title track for the 10th album, we wanted this to be something special. We are indeed a special band. The song and the video features all the 4 vocalists throughout our 20 years of adventure, including Kristoffer Rygg a.k.a. Garm, who was our very first vocalist back in the days. The video was produced by the eminent team from Twitchy Films and was captured at various locations in Norway; first and foremost at the amazing Midgard Historiske Senter at Borre, but also in the furious wilderness of the wintry Telemark. We all laid our hearts into this project, we hope that shines through! Enjoy and happy holidays!"
