The now classic debut album of pure Norwegian black metal from 1996 is finally reissued again complete with gatefold cover with foil-stamped band logo. Includes 4-page insert with photos, liner notes and lyrics. Bonus tracks on LP2 are taken from Live Session (Grieghallen Studios 1995) and Alternate Mix made by the band back in 1995.

In 1994, the death-metal guitarist Øystein G. Brun started to work on a musical vision, a vision of musical boldness. Having always been fond of melodious atmospherics, he recruited like-minded musicians from Enslaved, Gorgoroth, Arcturus, Immortal, and Ulver with the goal of rupturing the peripheries of what was deemed “traditional” black metal. Thus, the brilliant and sophisticated anomaly that is BORKNAGAR was born. In 1996, after the release of their first self-titled album on Malicious Records, the band signed with Century Media and released The Olden Domain in 1997. Very much to fans and critics alike and earning them a 1998 European tour supporting In Flames.
