Well here's a bit of a bummer: Borknagar's new record might be set back a bit. The reasoning is because frontman Andreas Hedlund suffering a head injury over the holiday weekend. We've been hearing the group has been working on a new record since late 2013, but they've really been kicking it up a notch recently with studio videos and the whole nine yards.
The group reposted Hedlund's Facebook message to fans.
"Seven days ago I was injured in an accident leading to some quite heavy downgrade of my physical condition. I fell down and crashed head-first on a concrete floor while helping out with moving some furniture. The accident is only to be blamed by myself due to stress and not paying enough attention to safety issues. I got hurt in different ways. The most significant is three cracks in my head, bleeding in my brain, and a dysfunctional ear. I'm now trying to cure myself at the hospital and come back full strength asap. As where I am in my recovery I wish to focus on getting better and not to go through the whole scenario over and over again. Take care of each other… life can show its ugly face when you least expect it."
Get better Hedlund! The band does use the word "might" when talking about the delay for a new record, so here's hoping that's indicative of Hedlund's injury being less serious than it sounds.
