	Enslaved (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Enslaved is a progressive fl/viking metal band from Haugesund, Norway.
		Although the band now records in English, their early songs were mostly recorded in Icelandic or Old Norse, with one track on their first full-length album being performed in ancient Norwegian.
		The band were also reported to have appeared in an episode of the American cartoon program South Park but this later transpired to be a practical joke at the expense of the Norwegian press.

	Metal Invader - Enslaved, London Live Review
		ENSLAVED are one of the historic fl metal bands - and certainly one of the very few of the "inner circle" to be continuing to this day.
		The band seemed in great form, the sound was good (though the drums did sound a bit flat), and RUUN sounds every bit as good live, as it does on your stereo.
		ENSLAVED seemed to be enjoying their London audience very much, calling us the best audience in Europe.

		One of the standout grindcore/death metal bands of the end of 80's, Carcass gained notoriety for their liberal use of medical terms in their lyrics and song titles (in fact, it was reported by reliable sources that the band members were med students, which wasn't true).
		One of the more storied bands in metal, the band known simply as Death is recognized as one of the most influential bands in the field of death metal.
		Enslaved is somewhat of a paradox-a listen to any of their earlier albums (such as personal favorite Frost) reveals all the classic trademarks of early fl metal-the vocal stylings, the insane blast beats, that distinctive fl metal guitar style-and yet Enslaved somehow makes it original and distinctive enough so that only Enslaved could perform it.

		Enslaved was formed in a small town in Western Norway in 1991.
		Enslaved was invited to perform as special guests at the opening ceremony of an art exhibition featuring modern and grotesque horror art.
		Bands have to progress or change if that keeps them happy, but whether the fans would accept the newer and modified style is always a crap shoot.

	Enslaved interview @ Tartareandesire.com
		Enslaved is a band rooted in extreme metal, influenced by early fl and death metal, and along the way we have become very much influenced by different styles such as progressive music from the 70s, and some alternative rock.
		So he involves the band behind the camera and is very good at asking how we want things to be depicted and he is very good at throwing in ideas.
		It’s turned around, in that the extreme metal bands are better at communicating what they are trying to do also, are more confident in their musical skills and their musical importance, if I can be a bit pompous, than they used to be.

	Transcending the Mundane: Interview with Steel Attack
		Enslaved is the work of a band finding themselves and delivering a catchy traditional metal album with some surprising aggression and modern guitar tuning.
		The way we did the songs this time, was since we were a new band, then we decided to start fresh with ideas and since all in the band had ideas recorded on different kind of recording equipments then we got together with what we had.
		I think the band has cleaned out the parts that where pulling the brakes and that had the way to be a pain in the ass when it comes to sharing the fun with the music and on the other hand we have never had such great time together.

		During “Path to Venir”, Enslaved ius much more deliberate with their compositions, allowing the band to lasso listeners’ hearts and drag them in a way that is not incongruous with acts like HIM.
		When the band moves into a thrashier style of metal, as is the case during a song like “Fusion of Sense and Earth”, the band is able to get individuals even more excited in the disc and this excitement locks listeners in for the rest of the disc.
		Enslaved have not slowed up a step during their run at the top of the metal scene.

		Enslaved are known for their amazing musical composition, they are also very well known for their long songs.
		Enslaved really can’t be considered a Viking metal anymore band these days, rather there playing a more straight forward melodic metal style with fl, death, and clear vocals and minimal keyboard usage.

		Enslaved, both men and instruments are truly giving birth to a growing and evolving musical entity.
		Enslaved have raised the fl metal bar, creating atmospheric fl metal without the stereotypical keyboard player (yes I know there are keyboards on the album, just a bit here and there though), or the haunting female vocalist in the background.

		This band was Enslaved, and this was the Hordanes Land EP.
		Emperor had already broken up after the band's fourth full-length in 2001, only to announce four years later that the members were to reconvene for scattered tour dates in the US and Europe.
		Enslaved, on the other hand, endured numerous lineup and sound changes over the years to end up releasing its ninth album, Ruun, that May. The prolific band had been tweaking its sound since 2000’s epic Mardraum.

		"This was 11 years ago, yet even then it was clear that ENSLAVED were heading on a lengthy longboat ride into more progressive waters, especially when they had purged themselves of the gnasher that was Blodhemn.”; Labelling themselves here as Viking Metal, there is still plenty of the fl stuff ready to stab your back.
		Its then ignition again for the furiously presented “Jotunblod” which is akin to standing alone on a battlefield being the sole target for several ranks of archers, it is also the best example of Mr Torson giving it some welly on the drums, assault and battery indeed.
		ENSLAVED clearly demonstrate on Frost”; that they have their own identity, they are instantly recognisable and are able to engage.

		John played in a other band till Mars 1998 but he got tired of playing covers (easiest way to get gigs, sad but true) so he quit the cover band just to get back to writing own songs and to play in a band that was writing fast and melodic metal original songs.
		Roger left the band 4 Nov 2000 cause he got no time for being in a band, because he was a single parent and had a hard time to find time for rehearsals etc. Then they got in touch with Andreas again who actually moved back to the hometown.

		Kicking off with the extremely aggressive "Enslaved", the band shows why they deserve a slot in many tours of bands that are full of brutality like Mortician.
		Although a few bands have similar influences like that of Shadows Fall, but none are as heavy as T.T.D. They take the heaviness and grooves of hardcore and fuse them with metal riffs and some cool solos.

	Enslaved - Viking Black Metal
		An epic take on the Norse style helps this band blast out songs at bouncy, high-energy tempos with a heavy melodic overtone and stringent guitar technique to adulterate what would be otherwise unbearably happy fl metal.
		While keeping their material nondogmatic Enslaved fall to the easy melodrama of demonstrative mimesis, having obvious themes to contrast central elements in each song.
		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.

		Enslaved is the main reason to purchase this disk; a peek into the minds of these developing artists is granted through the older versions of songs on the Emperor/Enslaved split.
		Enslaved blast out most of their songs at bouncy, high-energy tempos with a heavy melodic overtone and stringent guitar technique to adulterate what would be otherwise unbearably happy fl metal.
		Unified with the voice of Grutle Kjellson however the band surges into a living animal, burying the smaller guitar parts under a range of activity: drumming breakbeat self-absorption, rumbling bass, distorted vocals and then operatic interludes of singing, keyboards, and female intonations.

	Heathen Harvest - Reviews: Enslaved - Ruun
		Enslaved is a pivotal band in the current European death/fl metal scene with a long, legendary and varied past.
		At the time of “Monumension” the band was a four piece with the addition of R. Kronheim on guitar and drummer Dirge Rep. Currently, Enslaved is a metal quintet featuring Bjørnson and Kjellson with full time keyboardist/vocalist Herbrand Larsen, lead guitarist Arve Isdal and Cato Bekkvold, the band’s newest drummer.
		And while Enslaved is approaching a more accessible sound on “Ruun,” the album nonetheless still belongs to the world of metal and are a far cry from “pop.” To a certain extent, I see this newest album as a crystallization of ideas hinted at in “Mardraum,” but since abandoned during the bands experimental foray.

	metalupdate.com - Features
		Enslaved have been known as an integral and important band in the Norwegian metal community, but I have always suspected them of being in a world of their own, creating their music from a primal state of narcissism, which is the only way in my view.
		Enslaved has put out powerful material in the past, with such classics as 1994's Frost, and they will continue to reign with their aggressive style of metal as the date of their new album's release draws near.
		It's a bit of a hassle for a band to have lineup changes, but Enslaved have kept their membership consistent for this new album.

		Unfortunately, a band as talented and cutting-edge as Enslaved hasn't quite been able to break the ice as far as gaining the recognition that acts such as Emperor have, when surely they deserve it.
		This year, Enslaved dropped "Below The Lights" on us, the follow-up to 2001's excellent "Monumension." With a more than staggering response towards their seventh album, Enslaved is that much closer to making their presence more widely known.
		As of now, Enslaved has made use of another guitarist, Arve Isdal, and a new drummer, Freddy B, who after working with Enslaved for a half a year or so, joined the band as a full time member after his band at the time, Re-actor, faced line-up trouble.
