Get Nick Barker.

David Gold · May 22nd, 2008, 02:02 PM

Wow, totally unexpected news...but these things do happen for all kinds of reasons. I still remain a big fan of both Asgeir and BORKNAGAR, going forward!

Det Som Engang Var · May 22nd, 2008, 02:51 PM

I like your optimism, David!

Now don't forget, Colossus had 7 or 8 votes as the song Woods should cover.

Maybe Nick Barker could play too - as he did it before - or session guys like Sean Reinert from Cynic or Richard Christy (just my tastes).

Asgeir was the most active Bork member here too... what a pity...Oh damnn, this is totally unexpected... I'll miss him.

But he could comes back right??? like Tyr and Jens...

Yeah, this is surprising and Asgeir's drumming will be missed. It was good posting with him on the board here. All of the people you named sound good, I like Frost and Hellhammer's drumming a lot, prefer Frost because of his Tom patterns among other things.
I wonder if Asgeir will still post here since he's no longer a member of Borknagar?

He's gone to Vegas, I doubt he will post here much anymore

Yeah, he's gone to Vegas, but he may still post here when he gets back.

Isjungfrun · May 22nd, 2008, 05:00 PM

How does it feel to make a girl cry, Asgeir? :C

Naglfar · May 22nd, 2008, 05:54 PM

I hope he'll still hang out here with us. =)

lordcthulhu · May 22nd, 2008, 06:20 PM

Oh noes! At least he can tour with Ihsahn now??? Yeah, I hope he doesn't bugger off from this forum :/

Rivfadír · May 22nd, 2008, 07:21 PM

Good luck Asgeir. I hope things go well for you.

Alteredmindeath · May 22nd, 2008, 09:20 PM

yes Asgeir will be missed, Enjoy Vegas Asgeir.

ErikSL · May 22nd, 2008, 11:11 PM

this really hit me hard. A complete surprise. Bork has lost a very talented and creative musician. I guess maybe Asgeir wants to focus on Thornbound, Spiral Architect, or Ihsahn? His drumming is one of the elements that got me into Borknagar, what a bummer. Well I hope he makes out well.

As for Borknagar...I'm a little nervous about the new album, its gonna be different with someone else drumming.

Qu Appelle · May 22nd, 2008, 11:15 PM

Take care, Asgeir. You will be missed in Borknagar.

Do what you have to, to stay safe and sane. And enjoy Vegas and the Star Trek Hotel! (I want a trip report!)

Kalabalik · May 23rd, 2008, 01:05 AM

Seeing people's guesses at replacements, you would think there are only three drummers in the whole of Norway...

pancreator · May 23rd, 2008, 02:07 AM

have a nice trip.

@ isjungfrun:
dont worry, only very few people are able to leave norway for a longer time, so the chances for soon "come back" are good.

Det Som Engang Var · May 23rd, 2008, 04:17 AM

It's all up to Oystein now. I hope he tries to recruit someone who can at least half ass nail the awesome fill style Asgeir has. I hope he doesn't settle for some mediocre drummer like Grim was.

David Gold · May 23rd, 2008, 07:53 AM

Grim (is) was great.

Azzor1911 · May 23rd, 2008, 08:30 AM

oh crap... So long Asgeir... :'(

Let Lazare handle the drumming duties!!!

Defiance · May 23rd, 2008, 10:38 AM

Wow, totally unexpected news.

I'm a bit sad (besides shocked

), his drumming was one of the first things I noticed when hearing Bork, very technical yet potent.

What worries me the most now is actually Tyr's comments, about

Quote:

Well, I certainly hope we will get a drummer that lives in the Oslo-area (most of the band lives in this area), otherwise the prospect of future concerts is pretty much gone....

I wasn't even going to go to the concert(s) (donations still accepted

), but well I would've really liked a Bork dvd with a live concert!

Buuuuu, hopefully they'll find someone in the Oslo area.

Well, best of luck to Asgeir and to Bork, keep it up, the fans are right here for both of you!

PS: I guess we won't see Asgeir around here anymore T.T .

Qu Appelle · May 23rd, 2008, 01:38 PM

So, any idea on what's going to happen for the ScreamFest show?

Hopefully they cans till play, they have a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time to fill the gap, even if temporarily for that one show.

Rivfadír · May 23rd, 2008, 07:58 PM

Asgeir said that he'll still play for Screamfest, as he's one of the arrangers IIRC.

No one named Trymm yet, he doesn't seem to be that popular even though he's a good drummer and blast well ad has good drum patterns.

Sure there's a lot more ov drummers but I think Bork is looking for a brutal and technical beast. Trym is more or less known, being the Emperor drummer and a very good one.

Some another names that I like too who plays on or near to Oslo (besides HH, Frost and Nick Barker) could be Dirge rep (ex-enslaved), Horgh, Adrian Erlandsson, Einar Sjursø (from Ved Buens Ende) and Carl-Michael Eide.

karpsmom · May 24th, 2008, 01:33 AM

Jesus, just when I thought the line-up was solid and set in stone, the Borknagar curse continues and another band member is gone..... WHEN OH WHEN WILL BORKNAGAR HAVE A SET LINEUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

This will be a very hard position to fill.... but I trust the other band members to pick the right replacement. I will miss Asgeir greatly
