Description
Formed in Haugesund,* Norway in 1991 by Bjornson *(then 13 years old) and Kjellson *(then 17) and named after black metal band Immortal's demo track *"Enslaved In Rot,*". Enslaved completed their first full-length album,* Vikingligr Veldi,* for Norway's Deathlike Silence Productions *(Euronymous of Mayhem's label) in 1994,* and was successfully followed-up that same year with the highly-acclaimed Frost album on France's Osmose Productions. * Recorded in the first quarter of 2008,* Vertebrae was the band's third studio album and it's elegant music was such a perfect blend of beauty and darkness that it went on to win the 2008 Norwegian Grammy for *"Best Metal Album." The praise for 2010's Axioma Ethica Odini was no less fervent. Besides winning their 4th Norwegian Grammy for *"Best Metal Album" in a row,* the album also won Terrorizer Magazine's Reader's Poll for *"Best Album of 2010,*" and repeatedly ranked in the Top 10 on *"Best Albums of 2010" lists around the world. * * * For 2012's RIITIIR,* *(and Nuclear Blast debut) continued their tradition of driving concepts for their albums,* increasingly following a progressive path. Bjornson elaborates: *"The title is a self-made *'Norse-ified' version of the words *'Rites' */ *'Rituals.' RIITIIR *= *'The Rites of Man,*' to put it in a formulaic and easy way." *.Whether you're drawn into the genesis myth of the album's opening track *"Thoughts Like Hammers" or experience the stratosphere with *"Veilburner,*" ENSLAVED continued to explore their perception of place in the natural world and challenge the limits of their own self-knowledge,* thus ever-expanding the landscape of their musical ecology.Once again,* Enslaved saw themselves adorning critic's and reader's year-end polls while a long-overdue touring assault saw them headlining *(and selling out) UK clubs and a show-stopping set at Hammerfest 2013
