Our Take
Our Take
Ah, ENSLAVED. The Norwegian metal legends are back with their latest offering, "Utgard," and let me tell you, this album is like a rollercoaster ride through the realms of Asgard.
From the moment you press play, you're transported to a world of epic battles, Norse mythology, and soaring guitar solos that would make Thor himself proud. The opening track, "Fires in the Dark," sets the tone perfectly with its crushing riffs and haunting melodies.
But it's not all thunder and lightning on "Utgard." ENSLAVED show their softer side on tracks like "Distant Seasons," where clean vocals and delicate acoustic guitars create a sense of melancholy and longing.
The production on this album is top-notch, with every instrument and vocal line perfectly balanced to create a wall of sound that will leave you breathless. The band's technical prowess is on full display, with complex time signatures and intricate arrangements that will keep even the most seasoned metalhead on their toes.
In conclusion, "Utgard" is a triumph for ENSLAVED and a testament to their enduring creativity and passion for their craft. So grab your axe, raise your horns, and prepare to be swept away on a musical journey unlike any other. Skál!

About the artist
Enslaved
Enslaved are not your typical black metal band. Hailing from Norway, this eclectic group has been pushing the boundaries of the genre since the early 90s. Known for their progressive and experimental approach to music, Enslaved have carved out a unique niche for themselves in the metal scene. With a discography that spans over 14 albums, Enslaved have proven time and time again that they are not afraid to take risks and explore new sonic territories. From their early black metal roots to their more recent forays into progressive rock, Enslaved have never been content to rest on their laurels. One of the standout features of Enslaved's music is their use of intricate melodies and complex arrangements. Their songs are a masterclass in dynamics, seamlessly blending intense aggression with moments of introspection and beauty. Enslaved are also known for their thought-provoking lyrics, which tackle topics ranging from Norse mythology to environmentalism. This intellectual approach to songwriting sets them apart from many of their peers in the metal world. But don't let their intellectual lyrics fool you - Enslaved know how to bring the raw energy and power of a live performance. Their shows are a high-octane mix of blistering riffs, thunderous drums, and guttural screams that are sure to leave you breathless. In short, Enslaved are a band that defies categorization and transcends genre boundaries. Their music is a journey, a sonic adventure that will challenge and inspire you in equal measure. So strap in, crank up the volume, and let Enslaved take you on a ride you won't soon forget.
