    This guys are the best enduring Norwegian metal band. Not a single bad album in a 26 year career.

    I just fucking love these guys. They don’t claim to know how music should be, they do it the way they feel is right and that’s it. I am stocked I will see them in October for the first time.

    I only got into Enslaved recently. I can't believe I missed out for so long.

    • @shawnsmith8558
      @shawnsmith8558 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I just discovered them last year which is insane because they have an amazing catalogue... I find they tend to get overshadowed by contemporary but blander acts

      @danilhaes 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      What an awesome moment in your life! A lot of homework to do! I think I like every song from this band, they're awesome. Vikingligr Veldi/Frost/Eld from the first era. The split with Emperor is awesome too! Vertebrae and The Sleeping Gods EP from most recent times. What an awesome band. One of my favorites for sure!

    • @stevenewsom3269
      @stevenewsom3269 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I only discovered them when Riitiir came out and since then they have become my favorite band of all time.

    I always find these guys very fascinating. they have a completely different take on what Black Metal is.

    • @stevenewsom3269
      @stevenewsom3269 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      One of a kind, unique band for sure.

    Awesome interview! I discovered Enslaved while watching the "Headbanger's Journey" film the first day it was released, and I'm so fucking thankful that I did.

  • @sleepbetraysme
    @sleepbetraysme 6 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    Enslaved is an elite band - as far as musicianship in extreme metal. They are top notch. I only listen to a handful of extreme metal bands...they are one of 'em 🤘🏼

  • @Howbee
    @Howbee 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    I've seen Enslaved 14 times now. I've always viewed them as underrated as I think they SHOULD be up there with your Dissections, Emperors and Satyrions when you talk titans of the genre.

  • @noodle845

  • @matdemaz
    @matdemaz 6 ปีที่แล้ว +46

    These guys are legends. Love their first few albums. I discovered them through Frost, around the same time I was looking at early Burzum, Mayhem, Dimmu and Behemoth. On first listen of Frost I was like, "man, what the hell is this?" Good stuff.

    • @shawnsmith8558
      @shawnsmith8558 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Not as much into below the lights or Axioma Ethica Odini?
      Gotta be honest tho Vikingligr Veldi is one of my fave metal albums.

    • @genustinca5565
      @genustinca5565 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      lol I had the same experience listening to 'Frost' the first time. Lately though I feel they're releasing too many albums too fast.

  • @cstenzy9167
    @cstenzy9167 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    All-time fav band, so glad they don't seem to be slowing down in any way (both songwriting and touring-wise). Can't wait for what the future is going to bring!

    @salmythe1683 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Hakon is a great addition to the band and a genuinely nice dude. After the set he walked over and handed me the setlist directly and I got it and all my other Enslaved albums signed by the band. These are some of the classiest musicians you'll ever see and I love them to death.
    Can't wait till these dudes make their way back to Canada again.

  • @franlovelsimic8421
    @franlovelsimic8421 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Greatest black metal band for me! And the guys are pure gold, they recommended me a few Nordic pop acts which are amazing on their live stream. Skuggsja and Huggsja are also amazing!

  • @iao5013
    @iao5013 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Fuck yes. I didn't expect to see Enslaved in my TH-cam feed not around a time they're releasing something. Needless to say, pleasant surprise. One of the few bands that's become part of my DNA and I'll never forget.

    Just started listening to Enslaved in the past year. I am gravely disappointed I hadn't heard them before. I have yet to find an album by them that I don't like. They are truly the thinking man's metal.

  • @thestarlitwaters
    @thestarlitwaters 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    @willemlenders8272 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    More like this please, Enslaved are one of my favorite bands and they seem like super nice guys too.
    I've watched interviews with some metal bands and they try to come across as dark and mysterious is so hilarious to me. There's an interview on this channel with the clown guy from Slipknot and the whole time he's acting all edgy and tortured it's so fucking dumb whereas Enslaved just act like regular people.
