Enslaved

[Artificial_Eternity]

So, lets talk about the Norwegian Viking machine Enslaved. How do you guys think of them? I just got the album Eld, its my only one, and its brilliant. I was wondering what you guys recommend after Eld? All their albums got good reviews on M-A, but I wanna know what you guys say. Thanks.

What can you say about enslaved? They started viking metal and were the best at it. Get Vikingligr veldi, frost, and hordane's land.

He said it, although I suppose Bathory were more responisble when it came to creating viking metal. But they certainly created the black/viking genre.

 

[genocide roach]

my favorite album is below the lights, after that its the older stuff. eld is a great album
~gR~

 

[The Grimace]

Below the Lights and Mardraum are my favorites, but that will probably change tommorow. One of the few BM/DM bands with a truly flawless back catalogue. Viking metal is the shit.

 

[Artificial_Eternity]

What album would you recommend for their most BM-ish, raw stuff? I think he has great BM vocals, and the drummer is amazing. The slower, more operatic (?) stuff is great, and fits really well, but I wanna hear some more BM out of them. Thanks.

 

[ThePhilosopher]

the debut is very good, but I personally don't think you can go wrong with any of their albums.

 

[WNxScythe]

Certainly DONT get Below the Lights if you want more BMish stuff... stuck with older stuff.

 

[Nocturnal Silence]

Vikingligr Veldi is the best.

 

[Cythraul]

Vikingligr Veldi is the best.

I like Eld the most, but for the raw BM, go wth Viking lidr Veldi and Hordane's Land. Frost is a good one too.

 

[Torquemada]

Get the Frost Album, truly amazing.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

i havent gotten too into them, but i love below the lights. the older stuff Ive heard doesnt do anything for me.. but I dont like the raw style much so its not surprising

 

[Stormwatch]

Wasn't there a thread like this Last Week?
Anyway, I don't like Frost much, but I like Below The Lights and ISA is okay.

 

[Hammer of Might]

I just got Vikingligr Veldi and Hordane's Land, they are brilliant!

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Vikingir Velidi and Below the Lights are my two personal favorites, though pretty much every album of theirs is awesome in its own way.

 

[Necro Joe]

I like Eld and Isa the most right now, though I'll agree with the people who said that their output has been nothing but ownage.

 

[plaguewilder]

Wow....can't possibly pick one over the other. All of Enslaved's albums are genius in their own right. Frost still kikcs my ass to this day. Just picked up Isa the other day and it is shaping up to be a great album also. You seriously can't go wrong with any of their albums.

 

[Warlord Of Death]

I only have Blodhemn but definitey want to pick up the rest of their back catalogue
