Oceans Rise" is an acoustic remake of the song of the same name from the 1998 album The Archaic Course.

The first album was awesome. After that Borknagar lost my attention due to a horrible second album. But this album made all right. Such a great album, as usual! So grateful that my bro made me listen to this band. Long live Borknagar and Vintersorg ! 5 years ago.
