A combination side project and supergroup of the Norwegian black-market alloy scene, Borknagar members Oystein G. Brun (guitar, ex-Molested), Garm (vocals, also of Ulver and Arcturus), Ivar Bjornson (keyboards, ex-Enslaved), Infernus (bass), and Grim (drums; also of Immortal and Gorgoroth) started their own project in 1995. Not cachexia whatsoever fourth dimension, their self-titled debut came out early the following year on Malicious Records, and landed them a trade with Century Media Records presently thereafter. Kai Lie replaced Infernus for their second album The Olden Domain in 1997, and Borknagar undertook a all-out European enlistment in financial support. With new singer I.C.S. Vortex (b. Simen Hestnaes) and guitarist Jens F. Ryland, Borknagar immediately jumped back into the studio to record and press release 1998's reform-minded The Archaic Course without any breaks in between. Unfortunately, Grim died of a sleeping capsule overdose in October 1999; he was replaced by Asgeir Mickelson. For 2000's even more progressive Quintessence album, Vortex took all over bass duties, and newfangled keyboardist Lasare signed on.
