The eight album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, organ, piano and vocals.
Some guests added synths and vocals, including members from Immortal and Darkthrone.
Enslaved changed their setup on this album. A new drummer and a new piano/organ/keyboardist.
That did wonder for this album and the band.
The album starts out very playful and continues this way..... all the way to the end.
The music is very hard, but it has a lot of quirky, eclectic details too. The title track is pretty commercial with a great choir.
The track Lunar Force is almost superb and one of the best track in this genre. The rest of the tracks follows suit.
The vocals is still screamo but there are also some more clear vocals here. The music is full of surprises and joys. Gentle Giant and King Crimson springs to mind, although Enslaved's music is so much harder.
This is indeed one of the best albums I have ever heard in the extreme metal genre and a classic album.
Check it out.
