Borknagar released their 10th studio album, Winter Thrice, on January 22nd via Century Media Records worldwide. The album has entered sales charts in various countries: Germany #62, Switzerland #90, Finland #44, as well as in the US at #17 on the Billboard Heatseeker Chart and #15 on the Hard Rock chart.

To further promote Winter Thrice, Borknagar have just announced a run of European tour dates together with fellow Norwegians Kampfar, and Diabolical from Sweden.

Borknagar guitarist Jens F. checked in with a comment on the upcoming tour: "The first feedback on Winter Thrice has been completely mind blowing to us! Our dedicated fans have made so much fuzz that we even seem to attract some new listeners, resulting in listings on album charts in several countries. Even the video for the title song is being received in a way that has us debating if we should do another one! We are truly inspired to act on the response and have been working for a while to set up a tour, and here we go! 12 European gigs added to the summer festivals already makes this our busiest year since 1999, and we hope to add even more. We intend to adjust our plans according to the feedback we get, so make sure your voice is heard!"
