Following Arve and Ivar’s lead, Grtule holds a steady rhythm and shows


*Grutle - minor mistake about halfway into the third paragraph.



Really impressive review Sir Balls. I don't know why people complain about their new stuff, seeing as I like the fact that Enslaved aren't afraid to try something new.

123 Wizard, thanks i'll edit that. This has surpassed many of my previous top choices for 2008, and at this point remains one of my top two albums. Enslaved, ftw.

Please tell me Balls that you have the new Withered album up there as well. That album is just so damn good. This Message Edited On 09.26.08

Withered is very close to the top. To this moment I have trouble making a top 30 list of 2008 considering how many albums I love.

There really hasn't been anything that has come out this year that is worthy of a 5 yet.

Enslaved is just one of those bands which I simply do not like. Good review and all, but I doubt I will look into this.

You should at least myspace it first because it's streaming.

Ok, even though I've never found this band as anything other then boring I gave this a try cause of the review. It's easily better than their past stuff, and I even found myself enjoying most of it. After one listen, probably around a 3.5

That's a good sign, hopefully this will attract others with the same opinion of Enslaved to check it out.

I still can't understand why people think these guys are boring.

Me neither. Most black metal in general is pretty boring but Enslaved just happen to be greater than the majority perecentage of black metal bands.

We started here about the same time and your reviews generally don't steer me wrong (unless you're raving about folk influences ;)) so I gave it a shot.This Message Edited On 09.26.08

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm hahaha. Enslaved only touch on black metal a bit. I hear progressive death metal with folk sensibilities and a bit of black metal atmosphere.

Yeah, they're pretty solid from what i've heard. What, i've been wrong in female metal vocals? The question you should be asking yourself, forever is have you checked out Vertebrae yet?

They are still predominantly death metal/ folk with very little black metal.
