 THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - ENSLAVED - Isa
Especially since their 2001 release “Monumension”, ENSLAVED have been putting out music which hasn't just blended different aspects of many Metal domains, but seem to create a truly unique sound all their own.
But ENSLAVED have developed a sound that doesn't make these variations appear out of place or incongruent the way many other Metal acts do with Keyboards or wind instruments.
The title track is a sublime example of ENSLAVED's creativity, starting out with a Black Metal groove (perhaps that's not possible) which makes way in the chorus for a synergy of compelling high pitches and lower sounds musically and vocally.

Even if ENSLAVED is more commonly known as Viking metal, this still lays waste to the 3rd wave of so-called fl metal and should be hailed as the supreme offering of 1998.

 CoC : Enslaved - Blodhemn : Review
As one of the few bands who are clever enough to successfully challenge Emperor, Enslaved impressed many with last year's _Eld_, the long awaited follow-up to their classic _Frost_.
Consisting of only 38 minutes, delivered over nine tracks, Enslaved have shortened their song lengths hugely from _Eld_'s sprawling epics, and produced faster, harder and more vitriolic tunes in a more "traditional" fl metal style.
The Tolkien-inspired intro illustrates that the band have not lost any of their ability to manipulate keyboard atmospherics, whereas the songs, though on first listen seemingly only bludgeoning, have a similar and intricate array of different vocal lines, guitar melodies, finely constructed solos and just solid, well-written core riffs.

 Album Review ENSLAVED-Monumension :: Maelstrom :: Issue No 7   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
I asked Enslaved guitarist Ivar Bjornson if they'd ever see themselves not playing metal anymore, to which drummer Dirge Rep said: "What a stupid question." The first three tracks in particular are rippers, the first being a bit like the magnificent opener for Mardraum, but with that Vikeadelic flavor.
Monumension is the first Enslaved album to be sung entirely in English, and features more gruff, deathy vocals largely from guitarist Roy Kronheim.
The last track, "Sigmundskvadet," is the most purely "Viking" music that Enslaved has been a part of, as the band serve as backup voices to the project Hov.

 Enslaved - Viking Black Metal
Review: Enslaved give a peek into the minds of developing artists working through older versions of songs on the Emperor/Enslaved split in a trademark blastingly distorted metal that evokes visions of mideval European music.
Previous creators of ambient folk metal masterpieces, Enslaved use the presentation dynamics of folk music to break fl metal into its simplest form of vector expression yet, a blasting counterpoint style based on melodic affinity to central lyric (as many folk songs do).
Where this album is great is not as listening in the style of older Enslaved, but in its ability to maintain multiple iterations of power chord riffing in the technical style, which creates a pleasantly abstract texture in the background of any gathering.
