ENSLAVED - 'UTGARD, THE JOURNEY WITHIN' (EVENT PREMIERE)

I think Enslaved and Devin Townsend are the two musical entities that are making the most of this whole covid situation. Amazing as always!

Enslaved never disappoints. And typical Enslaved video......beautiful sometimes trippy cinematography, majestic landscapes, random person wandering through said landscapes. :metal

The whole ep is out today, and it's great, not that I'm surprised by that.

Someone on the r/Progmetal subreddit posted this link to an Enslaved documentary on YouTube.

I've only watched the first two episodes so far but it's a nice insight into the band  :tup

New single 'Kingdom' has just dropped.

https://open.spotify.com/track/0DfUFmR3IAi6qqXyStk0y9?si=JRRtluKkSeiFZMZDVg3__w&utm_source=copy-link

I just really love this band. They have slowly crept up to be one of my favorite bands. For a band that has progressed their sound over 30+ years I think they have such an impressive back catalogue. Really, so many great albums!

Enslaved are dropping another new single, Congelia,  tomorrow...

Kingdom is great as well. I'm not sure they've given a release date for the new album yet but I'm sure it'll be a banger.

I would follow that! I loves the small docuseries they did on the history of the band, interesting stuff. They really snuck up on me, and have become one of my favorite bands. They have such a strong back catalogue!

They announced it yesterday as well  :lol

Hey, need advice to get into Enslaved.

I’m a big fan of Insomnium and since they are touring with them, I’d rather enjoy Enslaved show as well and prepare for it. I’ve listen to their recent stuff and I think it’s okay but I don’t connect that much with the music. Maybe it’s just that I haven’t heard them enough. On the extreme metal side, I usually enjoy melodic/melancholic vibe such as Insomnium, pain of salvation, an abstract illusion, kardashev, clouds, swallow the sun to name a few. Never really got into black metal much though (more death).

Anyway, any advice on how to get into them and where to start would be greatly appreciated. They have such a huge discography and the ratings on internet are very good on all those albums.

I know I started with Vertebrae, Axioma Ethica Odini and In Times, and I think that was just before E came out.

They are a super consistent band, but I know In Times and E were really the first two to grab me. They are definitely progressive black metal, and they have clean vocals in the mix as well.

To be honest they probably started experimenting and becoming more progressive from Monumension onwards. Everything before that is more Viking themed black metal, although with obvious progressive bits as well.

I don't think you can really go wrong with anything from Monumension onwards, but I think my picks to start with would be Below the Lights, Riitiir, In Times or E.

Oh, also I mentioned earlier in the thread but there is a cool little docuseries on YouTube that goes through the bands history, it's pretty cool.

Luke gave a great overview already...I'll just add a couple of my own thoughts...

I am probably not as into E as Luke...although I admit for some reason I haven't spent a ton of time with it. Of the more recent period, I particularly enjoy Axioma Ethica Odini and In Times.

But yes, Monumension is where they started getting "weird" (in a good way!  :biggrin:). One could argue the previous album, Mardraum was showing some signs already  ;) There's plenty to digest in that period, and most of it is very cool/interesting. In that early-to-mid 2000 run, I have a soft spot for Isa but, again, it's all good.

As Luke says, before Monumension/Mardraum, it really was Viking themed black metal, but I think they were already doing it their own way. I always enjoyed Frost, and if you want an example of an ambitious tune from that earlier period, try the opener of the Eld album, "793 (Slaget om Lindisfarne)", over sixteen minutes of truly epic stuff. Following that, the Blodhemn album is one of their most aggressive...almost thrashy at times.

Let us know how your exploration goes!

All right thanks! I usually don’t connect that much with aggressive or trashy music. I’m more into emotional/melancholic feeling music but if the music is good, it is good no matter the style and I’ll give those albums a try:) hope it does work and I’ll let you know for sure

I really need to start that Enslaved discography thread I've been meaning to do for about a year now.

Nick_z gave a great overview, but ultimately you can't go wrong with any of their albums and each album is unique, with its own style.
You want old school viking metal? Try Frost.
You want something more quirky and avant-garde leaning? Try Monumension.
You want straight up Melodic Black Metal? Try Isa.
You want to know what Pink Floyd would sound like if they were black metal? Try Vertebrae.
You want progressive metal? RIITIIR.
Maybe post rock black metal? In Times.

You get the point 😁

Puppies and Luke, you should go for a combined effort, like Lethean and Litho are doing for Katatonia :)

It’s time for a proper Enslaved revisit!

I don't know nearly enough about the band to be honest. I suppose I learnt more watching that documentary series last year. I'd have to watch again and take notes  :lol

I'm starting to think the 6 album run of Below the Lights, Isa, Ruun, Vertebrae, Axioma Ethica Odini, and RIITIIR might be one of, if not the best 6 album runs in music history.

As great as this run is, I'd say I prefer Ruun, Vertebrae, Axioma Ethica Odini, RIITIIR, In Times, E personally. They do possibly have the best back catalogue in metal, although I'd argue Mastodon is well up there.

Perhaps. I will need to do some preliminary work; another quick discography run through, a little research, and collect my thoughts on it all. Problem is, I've been busier than ever at work the last several months and I don't see it slowing down any time soon.

I've started compiling everything I need to do the Enslaved Discography Thread. It's going to take a little time, but I'm shooting for November to start this. I could probably have it all ready by September, but I'll be out of town for the whole month of October with no time to do updates, so I don't really want to leave it hanging for a month
