Borknagar release new music video for ‘Up North’

BORKNAGAR have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Up North, is taken from the band’s upcoming new album True North which is scheduled to be released later this month. The track’s accompanying stunning video created by Costin Chioreanu/Twilight13Media.

Speaking about the new song, band founder and guitarist Øystein G. Brun says, “Up North being the brainchild of I.C.S. Vortex, we gave his longtime friend Costin Chioreanu the full artistic freedom to make a video for the song. The only requirement from the band’s side was that we wanted visual representation and empowerment of the lyrics. Over seasonal changes the lyrics deal with the circle of live, to constancy of energy in the universe and the fact that we are all stardust that momentary comes together to be you, me and everybody else on this vast and wonderous planet. We are truly impressed by Costin’s work! The way the visuals play around with the lyrical themes is a stroke of genius. This is art in the true sense of the word, where hard work, passion, heart and soul has made this a glorious piece of captivatinge eye-candy. We love it!”

Video director Costin Chioreanu adds, “Up North stole my heart from the very first listen. It’s probably the best song I ever worked with, both in terms of music and lyrics. It was so strange, when I started to read the lyrics, it seemed like were written by somebody studying my latest life-experiences. Not only that, many years ago a native American shaman recommended me to follow the North Star. I guess, with Up North I got even closer!”
