the ENSLAVED thread mk II

[Jon Snow]

These guys are one of my favorite metal bands along with Opeth. Amazing stuff. I love every single album.

Agreed with everything. Although personally nothing beats Opeth for me, Enslaved constantly give you something new and progessive each time.

 

[Hubster]

i want a new album from these guys, hopefully this year

Highly doubtful - given how long they toured for Isa, they will tour the rest of the year and then I'd say part of next year too before starting a new album.

 

[Zephyrus]

I've started the get into Enslaved. I own Vikingligr Veldi/Hordanes Land double-album, and I've been trying to go chronologically.

 

[FUBAR]

I love Enslaved. I was listening to Below the Lights the other day still my favourite by them! I just wish they'd kept using growls aswell as the screams and clean vocals...oh well they still rule.

While in a half drunk state, I posted a catty remark about their vocals in another thread intended to wind-up you lot, hehe, however I do really like their music alot more than the majority of other metal bands that I'm familiar with...Ruun has some really catchy riffs but I do think they would sound even better with a deeper more gutteral growl than the higher pitched screaming...just my taste I guess...out of their catalogue, where would be a good place to go from Ruun as this is the only one I have?

below the lights, isa, or mardraum

Either Below the Lights or ISA.

monumension is quite essential too i might add. its the "blackwater park" of their catalog in my eyes.

edit: nvm, i take that back. Opeth will always be about 3 steps behind enslaved it seems.

 

[RedinTheSky]

The Hordanes Land split with Emperor was the first I heard of them.
So fucking good for so long it's incredible. Only predictable in the sense that the next album will be good.

hm? explain

 

[arzachel]

jd they're Nocturno Culto's 9-year old son's favorite band

IMO, get everything from Enslaved you can get your hands on. Starting with "Hordanes Land" up to "Runn" this bands development or evolution is just astounding. I think Opeth is a very important band in Metal, but so too is Enslaved. I think it's fucked when I hear people say, "I don't like their musical direction, I prefer their earlier stuff." To each his own, but why would anyone want a band, like Enslaved with all their immense talent, stay in one musical place.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Vikingligr Veldi is a superior album.

Nicely said. Agreed.

 

[i aint play this]

Awesome Kick ass band, Below the lights and Isa are their best albums imo

 

[NFU]

hm? explain

it takes Opeth about 2-3 albums to jump to the next cliff of progression and innovation whilst it takes enslaved only one album to reinvent their wheel most of the time.

 

[Risquit]

Does anybody here like the Enslaved clone, Secrets of the Moon?

Haven't heard of them, though I'm in the process of checking them out right now.
