Enslaved - Blodhemn (1998)

The fourth album from this band from Norway.

The band is now a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

Enslaved had done some changes in their lineup. The core of the band, Ivar Bjornson and Grutle Kjellson, was still at the helm and are indeed still at the helm in 2022.

The band was still leaning towards black metal on this album.

The band still managed to make their music pretty interesting despite of the raw sound and vocals. The guitars are also very raw and dripping with blood.

The riffs, themes and melodies are also pretty progressive and is driving the band and the scene forward. 

Enslaved was and still is one of a kind. Never really a black metal band although they were sailing pretty close to being one on this album.

This is an interesting album without the big, memorable songs and moments. It is still a decent album who still offers a lot to the listener.
