Enslaved

[The Wanderer]

I love this band. I think they are innovative and just damn cool. They keep gettting weirder with each album, which is also cool.

I got a promo of the new, monumension the other day. Has anyone else heard it? if so what do you think? I like it. It' s like enslaved meets pink foyd and other weirdness. very cool.

my favorites are blodmemn and frost...

I have only heard Mardraum and Bloodhemn..great stuff..
I wouldnt call them weird but yes, they are easier to listen to than most of their norwegian counterparts..
Enslaved meets pick floyd?? that sounds interesting, though Im not sure if I will like it..will try it when I find it.

listen to their older stuff. like frost and eld, or their first one, then listen to mardraum. it's very different from their older stuff. weirder. more progressive. blodhemn is probably their fastest one. it stands out too

I don't have Monumension yet but I'll get it as soon as it's out. Mardraum was my first Enslaved album and one of my best albums of 2000. The sound samples I heard on their web site sounded pretty good.

 

[Riotus]

Yeah - im well into Enslaved as well! Ive got all their stuff (..i think!), and to be honest, they may well be the most under-rated band in the underground.

Maybe their competly unique ideas and music are to much for most people!! I just cant get enough.

Ive only heard two sample tracks of the new disk - The Voices and Vision - and once again, they pulled out all the stops!! (Maybe i should be their press manager!! LOL!!)

I heard Monusmension a few weeks ago, and although i think that it is a good album in terms of song writing etc, i dont really like it. I find it too progressive for my taste. After repeated listens i think it could grow on me, but i only listened to it once due to computer probs.
I love everything upto and including Eld, and Hordanes Land was what got me into BM/VM. One word that descibes Enslaved very well, in my opinion, is 'epic'.

I don't have Monumension yet. I heard 2-3 songs on BW&BK radio and liked the ones I heard. But until I hear the whole thing...
