The sixth album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, organ, synths and vocals.
Three guests added vocoder, synths, minimoog and vocals.
Enslaved goes progressive rock...... Well, not quite right.
Enlaved has branched out on this album from thei viking and black metal roots. Well, they were never really a black metal band, although their music has some clear black metal influences. That also goes for this album.
The band has clear vocals on two of the songs. Which adds a lot of light and contrasts to the normal screamo vocals from Grutle.
The music is pretty avant-garde on this album. And it is also progressive. There is folk music track here too. Enslaved was and is pretty much sailing close to Norwegian folk rock in their viking metal.
The music on this one hour long album is engaging and full of surprises. This is a band on a journey... with an unknown destiny....
The quality is not always good but it is still an album well worth checking out.
2.5 points
