Which is why V should keep doing grim vocals while Sindre does cleans. Sindre's clean vocals go second only to Simen!

~Derek~ · April 7th, 2008, 02:25 PM

Who's Sindre? What albums is he on?

Det Som Engang Var · April 7th, 2008, 02:57 PM

He's Lars Nedlands brother. He was decent with In Vain but Myrkgrav is where he really shined.

myspace.com/myrkgrav

Listen to the chorus of Om A Danse Bekhette. "Don't listen to Olav Trygvason that song sucks". Wouldn't you rather have Sindre than V?

^I just did listen, only because you've been saying this over and over and I have to say, in my opinion, and probably everyone else's, his voice isn't anything special. Not enough to warrant replacing Andreas. I think Vintersorg is a better singer, better suited to the band, and in fact, this guy sings in a tone very similar to Mr. V. I was expecting something epic, but instead found something average, I don't see his voice being anything more amazing than I can find in any decent folk metal band.

P.S. I remember you said his singing was better than Mr. V and Lazare together, to which I must respond:

Det Som Engang Var · April 7th, 2008, 03:32 PM

Fine, have Vintersorg spill mediocrity on the next album too.

Naglfar · April 7th, 2008, 05:41 PM

but the last three albums were so good... =(

Allfader · April 7th, 2008, 06:35 PM

C'mon, Vintersorg is awesome! Garm and Simen quited the band so many years ago and I can't think on somebody else to replace it.

The only guy who could do that is Lars if he sings like on Solefald or Asmegin.

(Sindre it's ok with that Falkenbach rip-off called Myrkgrav, but he's nothing compared with Andreas)

Two. THEY HAVE NOT MADE ANYTHING SINCE EPIC!

LALALALALALALALALA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

There is no Origin...

Heartless_Name · April 7th, 2008, 07:18 PM

^Origin owned!

And might I also just say, out of respect for the band, can some of us not talk about who they would like to see replace Mr. V... the band has not said they are even interested in changing the line-up so why even say these things? Having an opinion is 100000% fine, but I don't think it's right to express such opinions on the band's own message board.

Fact is, Vintersorg has been part of the band for years now, and he has helped make them what they are today. If you ask me, eventhough I like Simen's voice more, Andreas' voice suites this band a lot more, and some of their best work was done with him, so let's just slow down here for a minute.

Rivfadír · April 7th, 2008, 07:28 PM

Well, I don't know anyone who would fit better with the band than Vintersorg, and I do really love Empiricism and Epic. Especially the first one. I just think he's pushing his voice too much, and making Borknagar sound like the band Vintersorg to too large a degree. I miss the aggression. I would like it for him to stick to more of the mid-range vocals, rather than pushing it higher for each record. Cause honestly, I don't care much for his high vocals.
And you are right, Heartless_Name. It does seem kinda respectless to be talking like this on the bands own forums. If anyone took offense, I apologise. I was just saying what I was thinking.

And IMHO, Origin was terrible. I really tried to love it, but for the reasons I mentioned above, I couldn't. It's just too... Light?

Det Som Engang Var · April 7th, 2008, 07:30 PM

Afraid not. When a band doesn't deliver the same quality they used to I'm going to bitch about it. I've already told Vintersorg many times he's still one of my favorite singers and I love his band. If he gets offended at my criticism maybe he'll give a better performance or go back to his old vocal style which 75% of us are begging for.

As far as disrespecting Borknagar, hey, I bought all of their albums, I've promoted them to no end. I have the right to complain if I want to. Not to say they should or will listen to me.
