Börn
Today the fifth post is always dedicated to post-punk and it goes straight to Iceland, the land of glaciers, geysers and breath-taking landscapes but also a land where, despite the small population, underground scenes, labels and bands are emerging.
One of these bands is Börn ( "children" in Icelandic) , a band of three girls and a guy formed in 2011 first as a duo with Alexandra at the vocals and Fannar at the drums then as a quartet with the adding of Anna at the guitar and Juliana (from the hardcore band Tentacles) at the bass.
Originally the name was Norn ("Witch") but then they changed it to Börn in order to avoid conflict with a local black metal band with the same name, and in 2014 they released their first self titled album gaining a lot of influence not only in the local scene but also in Europe and even in the USA, where the band toured during April and May 2014, an album of seven tracks strongly influenced by the Californian death rock scene and characterised by screaming vocals, driving gloomy drum sections and cutting guitar riffs often enriched with chorus and flanger effects.
After 6 years from their last EP, in 2021 they returned with a new album, "Drottningar daudans" ( "Queen of death") under the American label Iron Lung, following the same amazing formula of their first releases.
All their discography is availaible on their Bandcamp page
