I am still waiting for the new Inquisition album to be released. It is really the only album of the year that I really give a shit about.
Black Metal.

Grotesque? Or is there another one coming out soon that I haven't heard about?

The new one that no one heard about.
Btw, Vaccum > Grostesque.
Vaccuum was a great piece of dbm with classical influences, Grotesque was your run of the mill tryhard "interesting" and "intellectual" atmospheric post-black progressive dissonant jazz metal.

Is that so? Good thing I didn't get it then. I was hoping "Grotesque" would be similar to "Vacuum" but have worked out the tweaks, like the stupidly fake-sounding synthesized instrument sounds.

No.
Grotesque is better IMO, although the first one I heard so I am partial to it but...still

I on the other hand is on the fence with it, I know that Enslaved has always sounded like Opeth but this is almost a ripoff of Morningrise era Opeth. I won't say that it's a bad album but I do think it's their weakest effort ever; that their weakest album ever is still badass shows what a badass band they are.

yes true but mixing prog and black metal is no simple task it could get fucked up easily i.e. enslaved's last couple of albums

I'm not sure it's that difficult anymore, now that the foundation for it is established. We're talking about a combination that's been done and redone for 15 years. In the first and second waves it would have been more difficult.

of course, of course, not saying its impossible Enslaved were adding prog elements into their music very early on. it was evident from the very first record especially on Eld.
but I just think on their most recent albums they've been more prog than black.

If Morningrise and Porcupine Tree are comparison points for the new Enslaved album then I'm definitely getting it.

Anyone wondering about Axioma Ethica Odini should disregard this guy's post, it's complete apples to oranges comparison. What a load of rubbish. You need your hearing checked.
Enslaved do NOT sound like Opeth, and there is nothing about the new album which resembles Morningrise. Do you even know what the Gothenburg style of death metal was? Go find out and then perhaps you can finally understand what was going on on the first two Opeth records. There is nothing in the entire Enslaved catalogue which resembles Gothenburg whatsoever.
I won't go into it here too much (I've written a pretty long review which will appear soon), but essentially Axioma Ethica Odini cements that Enslaved can no longer be fit into a genre. They are just simply "Enslaved" now. Vertebrae was another transitional record, just like Monumension was. The new album is a result of finishing their reassessments.
