Enslaved: "Vertebrae" due in September

I still prefer the old black metal/viking Enslaved to the progressive metal Enslaved but this seems like it will be interesting so i shall chek it out.
 
Really looking forward to this! I very much like Isa and Ruun, but I'd say the best Enslaved album is Below The Lights with Blodhemn as a close follow up. I have all their albums and I enjoy them all :) Looking forward to their tour also!
 
Got it few days ago, definitely have to buy it when it's out. One of the best albums so far this year.
 
How about, instead of continuing to tarnish their legacy, Enslaved just quit making albums altogether?
 
the new album sure sounds weird as fuck at first.

Pink Floyd Black Metal? mmmm not sure about that.
 
Yeah? Is it Awesome Sauce?

No, I probably wouldn't go that far. I stick by "good." If it keeps growing, maybe "damn good." It's definately a lot better than Ruun.


Meh, I take it you don't agree.

Anyway, for my money BTL, Isa, and Vertebrae are all good releases (and Monumension is downright fucking killer)- they just aren't black metal any more. Kinda like latter day Emperor. Or Ulver. Or Darkthrone. Or, apparently, Nachtmystium. Fuck, even Mayhem.
