Now all that's left is to kick Vintersorg out.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

Finally, some good news amidst all the bad news. Holy hell, this makes me so happy.

I finally heard some of Empiricism and The Archaic course, these guys are a great band.

Yeah, first two albums with Garm are my favorite though. This is good news, as less Vintersorg is better than a lot of Vintersorg, and Vortex is good. His performance on Borknagar's "Quintessence" album is my favorite thing he's ever done. Tracks like Colossus :wub:

I don't know. I feel Simen's vocals are the only thing that made Quintessence worthwhile for me. For me, their last outstanding album was The Archaic Course. I fear they might have just run out of good ideas since that album, so I doubt if Simen's rejoining will create a - absolutely necessary - fresh impulse in Borknagar songwriting.

I generally agree. But since I view the Vortex era better than the Vintersorg period, the interest in Borknagar is higher than it would have been.
