With major international tours and chart placements around the world, after more than 30 years, Borknagar remain a consistently evolving force. Starting with their self-titled beginnings, the band quickly pushed past the boundaries set by traditional black metal by encompassing prog, neofolk and hard rock. Though a season of change would soon follow, their tenth album remains a true force of nature.

Today, Season of Mist is proud to announce a reissue of Borknagar’s tenth full-length album Winter Thrice. With blinding blast beats, melodies as crisp as the first frost and Garm of Ulver joining forces with their seasoned vocal trifecta, the band summoned a perfect storm of blackened progressive metal.

Winter Thrice will be reissued by Season of Mist on July 10, 2026.

Meanwhile, the video for the title track continues to climb with more than 2 million views on YouTube.
