Enslaved
« on: July 10, 2012, 01:58:07 PM »
Can't believe no one made a thread for this amazing band. The new album will be called "Riitiir" and it'll be out on Oct. 2. Can't wait for this!!!

Loved these guys since the first time I heard Below The Lights. Mellotron and black metal, man, I was SOLD.

Great group. A friend of mine who is both a bassist and music elitist (despises DT of course) turned me on to Enslaved a few years ago.

Yeah, I'm pumped for this.  It's always interesting to hear where this band is going -- they're like a model for how to evolve with grace and purpose.

Not really an Enslaved fan, but that is an awesome cover right there.

Just popping in to say that I saw these dudes last week and they put on an awesome show! Also, the new album and Vertebrae are my favorites from them.

RIITIIR is totally colossal and amazing. i hadn't listened to Enslaved since Below the Lights was released (!), so the alterations in style and production were surprising and awesome for me.

RIITIIR was good, but I never listened to it as much as I wanted to. Hopefully this one is also on that level. I wasn't too wowed by this song, but I'm not going to write it off

This review has me so stoked!

On a side note, I was recently listening to the debut album Vikingligr Veldi and it's by far my favorite of their pre-Isa period. Pure black metal with subtle hints of the progressive tendencies that were later to come. Great stuff!

I liked some songs off Riitir and I usually find hard to love bands using mostly growls in their songs, but after this preview I'm excited for the album! I'm searching for the full version of the song to see how it ends, but even with the cut the song is already beautiful

all i've been listening to is Enslaved since that song was posted! i never took the chance to dive into their discography until now (outside of RIITIIR and Below the Lights when they came out – they blew me away!), and i'm impressed how far back you can go to get the same brilliance before it 'devolves' into pure second wave black metal. i'm sure the new album is as solid as the last few have been!

I've decided to hold off on new tunes until I get the album. With only six songs, I don't want to spoil it haha.

The new album is great as expected, even if it's not grabbing me quite as much as Riitiir did. One Thousand Years of Rain and the title track are my standouts so far.

I'm going to have to give it a more careful listen, and then some, but I enjoyed my first quite a bit. Not sure there are any tracks here which have the strength of... say Roots of the Mountain, but that's okay

Nothing quite as amazing as Roots of the Mountain, but there's a few songs that get close and the rest of the album is still amazing. Don't know how Enslaved do it but they put out yet another incredible album.

Thousands Years of Rain is great, but I'm not sure I like it any more than Building With Fire. Really consistent album overall, too.

It's incredible how every song it's perfectly written considering their lenght! Two months ago I didn't have any hype about this album and now it will be probably the best album of the year unless my favourite bands put out other masterpieces like this. Maybe the transition at 6:00 in Nauthir Bleeding is the only little problem in the songwriting, however is my favourite off the record; an original song with a lot of inspired sections and two super epic moments.
Trying to do a ranking after 4 listens of every song I'd say:
Nauthir Bleeding
Thurisaz Dreaming
In Times
One Thousand Years Of Rain
Building With Fire
Daylight

I put all the other favourite songs of the people in this thread in the last places ;D They are all perfect to me, but the first three of my ranking are the ones with my favourite sections, and from 1st to 6th there's a small difference
