As I write this we are in the final stages of preparations to the “Devastation Of The Nation” tour across the whole of the USA and Canada with our friends in Rotting Christ, Abigail Williams, Ghost Bath, Vale Of Pnath and Stormruler,”  states   BORKNAGAR founder and mastermind Øystein G. Brun.    “After delays and eventually a cancellation of this tour in 2020 due to the pandemic, we are so stoked and excited to finally be able get going. It has been a rugged road and we could not have done this without our loyal and persistant partners such as: Ruben @ Talentnation, Daniel @ Devastation of the Nation tour, Marc @ Play America and Christine @ Fountain Feller Group Inc. and last but not least the support by Music Norway. Thank you so much for all the efforts! Finally to our fellow gunslingers on this ride: We shall have a great time and make some musical history that lingers on for a long, long time! Let’s do this.” adds Brun.   BORKNAGAR 2022 TOUR DATES: “Devastation Of The Nation” North American Tour 2022 W/Rotting Christ, BORKNAGAR, Abigail Williams, Ghost Bath, Vale Of Pnath & Stormruler 21.04.2022  B erkeley, CA - Cornerstone 22.04.2022 Portland, OR - Bossanova Ballroom 23.04.2022 Vancouver, BC - Rickshaw Theatre 24.04.2022 Seattle, WA - El Corazon 26.04.2022 Salt Lake City, UT - Metro Music Hall 27.04.2022 Denver, CO - The Roxy Theater 28.04.2022 Kansas City, MO - BLVD 29.04.2022 Minneapolis, MN - Skyway Theatre 30.04.2022 Chicago, IL - Reggies / Sold out! 01.05.2022  Detroit, MI - Sanctuary  03.05.2022 Toronto, ON - Lees Palace 04.05.2022 Montreal, QC - Foufounes Electriques 05.05.2022 Quebec City, QC - Imperial 06.05.2022 Manchester, NH - Jewel 07.05.2022 Brooklyn, NY - Saint Vitus Bar / Sold out! 07.05.2022 Brooklyn, NY - Saint Vitus Bar / Late Night Show! 08.05.2022 Baltimore, MD - Soundstage  10.05.2022 Greensboro, NC - Blind Tiger 11.05.2022 Nashville, TN - Exit/In 12.05.2022 Birmingham, AL - Zydeco 13.05.2022 Atlanta, GA - The Masquerade (Hell) 14.05.2022 Tampa, FL - The Orpheum  16.05.2022 Houston, TX - White Oak Music Hall 17.05.2022 Fort Worth, TX - Haltom Theater 18.05.2022 Austin, TX - Come and Take It Live 19.05.2022 El Paso, TX - Rockhouse Bar 20.05.2022 Phoenix, AZ - Nile Theater 21.05.2022 San Diego, CA - Brick By Brick 22.05.2022 Los Angeles, CA - 1720 More info:  https://www.facebook. com/devastationonthenation Tickets:  https://bit.ly/ DOTN2022   FESTIVAL DATES: 27.05.2022 Hollandscheveld (The Netherlands) - Graveland Open Air 28.05.2022 Whittlebury Park / Towchester (UK) - ManorFest 18.06.2022 Duisburg (Germany) -  Rage Against Racism Festival 19.06.2022 Clisson (France) - Hellfest  24.06.2022 Kauhajoki (Finland) - Nummirock 20.08.2022 Horten (Norway) - Midgardsblot         25.08.2022 Istanbul (Turkey) - Zorlu PSM %100 Studio Stage         26.08.2022 Sofia (Bulgaria) - Sofia Metal Festival     27.08.2022 Thessaloniki (Greece) - 8Ball 28.08.2022 Athens (Greece) - Kyttaro   10.09.2022 Zurich (Switzerland) - MehSuff Festival   “ULTIMA RATIO FEST” - EUROPEAN TOUR 2022 w/Moonspell, My Dying Bride, BORKNAGAR, Wolfheart & Hinayana 29.09.2022 Frankfurt (Germany) - Batschkapp 30.09.2022 Leipzig (Germany) - Hellraiser 01.10.2022 Antwerp (Belgium) - Trix 02.10.2022 Luxembourg (Luxembourg) - Den Atelier 03.10.2022 Paris (France) - Elysee Montmatre 04.10.2022 Lyon (France) - Transbordeur 05.10.2022 Pratteln (Switzerland) - Z7 06.10.2022 Stuttgart (Germany) - LKA 07.10.2022 Geiselwind (Germany) - Music Hall 08.10.2022 Munich (Germany) - Backstage Werk 09.10.2022 Brno (Czech Republic) - Sono 10.10.2022 Budapest (Hungary) - Barba Negra 11.10.2022 Vienna (Austria) - Arena 12.10.2022 Wroclaw (Poland) - A2 13.10.2022 Berlin (Germany) - Kesselhaus 14.10.2022 Hamburg (Germany) - Markthalle 15.10.2022 Oberhausen (Germany) - Turbinenhalle 2 16.10.2022 Utrecht (The Netherlands) - Ronda Ticket pre-sale:  www.ultima-ratio- fest.com   Throughout 2022, BORKNAGAR continue to promote the latest album release,  True North  (2019), and their special 25th Anniversary re-issue of their pioneering self-titled debut album, which was recently released worldwide via the band’s longtime label partner Century Media Records.   Initially released in 1996,  Borknagar  saw Øystein G. Brun recruiting a phenomenal cast of like-minded musicians, such as  Garm  ( Ulver, ex Arcturus ) doing the vocals, drummer  Grim  ( ex-Immortal, Gorgoroth  and  Ancient ),  Ivar Bjørnson  ( Enslaved ) on keyboards and bassist  Infernus  ( Gorgoroth ), to enter the notorious halls of Grieghallen Studios with the goal of rupturing the peripheries of what was then deemed “traditional” Black Metal.   The new deluxe edition of the album, entitled  Borknagar (25th Anniversary Re-issue 2021),  marks the definitive version of this pioneering Norwegian Metal classic, and includes a careful remaster of the 10 track LP courtesy of Øystein G. Brun, a makeover for the original artwork, profound liner notes, exclusive photos and a bonus disc full of previously unheard material from the band vaults. The limited Digipak 2CD (with 12 bonus tracks / 60 min.) and the limited Gatefold 2LP on 180g black vinyl (with 8 bonus tracks / 37 min.) can be ordered  HERE .   Check out a sample teaser  of  Borknagar (25th Anniversary Re-issue 2021 ) t o get an impression of the re-issue,  HERE ,  and check out a visualizer clip for the track “ Dauden (Remaster 2021) ” created by  Wanderley Perna / W Designer,  HERE .   True North  received rave reviews in the media and was named “Album of the month” by publications like Metal Hammer (Germany), Legacy (Germany) or also Scream (Norway). The album scored several international sales chart rankings upon release as follows: Germany: #31, Switzerland: #34, Finland: #42, Austria: #56, Sweden (Physical Albums): #46, USA (Billboard Heatseekers): #12, USA (Billboard Hard Rock): #22 as well as ITunes Charts: Canada: #70, Italy: #77, Germany: #86 and Finland: #94.
