ENSLAVED

Release Year: 2017
Artist Origin: NOR
Style: atmospheric experimental viking black metal

mutually titled as the most experimental and diverse longplay ever recorded by viking metal godfathers, this bald release [2001] was written during a crucial transition stage, setting the progressive direction of Norwegians for the years to come - otherwise it would be impossible to explain incoherent and spontaneous approach they never been on before or after, merging different elements of vicious chaos and dreamy, psychedelic order, invoking dramatic clashes of aggression and harmony, with plenty of unpredictable drifting and dominating English lyrics, so everything you knew about Enslaved until this moment crashes down, giving way to one hour long sporadic manifestation of free musical flow; recent French gatefold sleeve double black 180g vinyl edition with a clear hot foil stamping on the sleeve is limited to 200 units
