man this is extremely good music, little more to be said except that it's even more epic than usual

This band is frigging amazing. That is all.
― Clarke B., Tuesday, 29 January 2013 04:50 (eleven years ago) link
No doubt, though I consider Isa to be one of the few missteps in their entire catalog.
― Nate Carson, Tuesday, 29 January 2013 04:54 (eleven years ago) link
I've never heard it! Just reviving a band-themed thread... Still working my way through it all, but I just got Monumension today and it's really doing it for me. And Eld blew me away last week. And Vikingligr Veldi and Hordanes Land the week or so before that. I think it's time for Frost next.

I just have Ruun and Vertebrae and like them both a lot.

They're all great. My only issue with ISA is in the production. The songs/vision are fantastic.
I'm a huge fan of the Mardraum / Monumension / Below the Lights era.

Eld has the weird combination of awesome drumming and a completely shit drum sound.
― Siegbran, Tuesday, 29 January 2013 07:36 (eleven years ago) link
haha nate totally in character here!
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Tuesday, 29 January 2013 07:58 (eleven years ago) link
Eld is my fave for sure
I remember playing Ethica Odini to Siegbran in soundrop and his reaction was "what happened to these guys :( "
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Tuesday, 29 January 2013 08:00 (eleven years ago) link
Eld is amazing, but I kinda agree with Siegbran. Then again I hated Isa at first and eventually came around to it.

Hammerheart1981 3 years agoEnslaved thx for do Real Metal!!!!
― am0n, Tuesday, 29 January 2013 15:19 (eleven years ago) link
Eld is their best one IMO
― dog latin, Tuesday, 29 January 2013 15:21 (eleven years ago) link
I can see myself listening to Eld with great frequency, but Vikingligr Veldi... I feel like that's gotta be #1. It may even be my favorite of the early '90s Norwegian canon (that I've heard).
― Clarke B., Tuesday, 29 January 2013 15:24 (eleven years ago) link
Interestingly enough, these are literally the only three albums of theirs I haven't heard. Given your endoresement, might be time to fix that.

What did ppl think of the EP that was released for free through the Scion website?
― hibernaculum (Jon Lewis), Tuesday, 29 January 2013 16:29 (eleven years ago) link
Got Vertebrae for €0.20 today in a library sale. I know I like Isa so... nice.
― OG requiem head (Call the Cops), Friday, 8 February 2013 12:26 (eleven years ago) link
I've been in an Enslaved mood lately. Re-listened to Eld, Isa, Below the Lights and now Monumension. Great band. Need to catch up with the post-Isa stuff, I think.

hunt them down, bring them to silence, my will is the law
― markers, Thursday, 6 June 2013 05:51 (ten years ago) link
What's their best album? The only one I have is Axomia.

"what is the best enslaved album" is a question i have been trying to answer for at least five years
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Thursday, 6 June 2013 16:17 (ten years ago) link
Top 3?
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Friday, 7 June 2013 15:06 (ten years ago) link
vikingligr veldieldmonumension
you can't go wrong with any of them though for real. even when i've thought a new enslaved record was boring i'd listen to it later and it'd turn out to be 100 percent awesome
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Friday, 7 June 2013 16:47 (ten years ago) link
^^^ Yeah with post-Isa Enslaved I seem to be in this cycle where I hear the new album, thinks it's okay but nothing too exciting... and then later I realize its great.
Listening to Axioma Ethica Ghostdini uh Odini right now though and i'm thoroughly enjoying it.
― RID US OF SPACE BORES (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Monday, 23 December 2013 13:26 (ten years ago) link
i am in that cycle too -- again with this new one, in times. i think maybe they're just so fucking good they're easy to take for granted
― reggie (qualmsley), Friday, 6 March 2015 20:25 (nine years ago) link
Looking forward to the show in a couple of weeks. With Yob!
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 6 March 2015 20:32 (nine years ago) link
i go see them
― Infostealer.Steamfishi (am0n), Monday, 23 March 2015 23:05 (nine years ago) link
They were great, I thought. Tons of fun, though too many people left after YOB.

"nauthir bleeding" rules. holy fuck
― reggie (qualmsley), Tuesday, 24 March 2015 18:13 (nine years ago) link
missed yob. enslaved played the opening trax of 'below the lights' which is mostly all i cared about. and 'the watcher' :B despite the small crowd and bad sound they still poured it on, cool dudes

Didnt we poll all the Enslaved albums a while back?
― spiritual hat gaz (Drugs A. Money), Sunday, 17 January 2016 01:26 (eight years ago) link
If the cheapest copy I can find of Vikingligr Veldi is a thrashed one for $20 (and it starts at $200+ on Amazon) it might be time for a reissue.
― The Fortnightly Intruder (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Wednesday, 13 December 2017 11:39 (six years ago) link
On CD, I mean, the LP is readily available.
Has that album ever been remastered?
― Siegbran, Wednesday, 13 December 2017 12:31 (six years ago) link
Looks like all the single disc VV reissues were represses but not remastered. Just discovered there's a 2cd VV/Hordanes Land reissue that claims to be remastered from 2004 on Candlelight though.
― The Fortnightly Intruder (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Wednesday, 13 December 2017 14:21 (six years ago) link
Christ on a bike do those original pressings really go for the crazy prices that Ebay/Discogs suggests? I’ve got moving boxes full of black and doom metal CDs I bought in the early 90s.
― Siegbran, Wednesday, 13 December 2017 16:52 (six years ago) link
Dude it's a crazy world out there. I remember seeing some Abigor original CD go for ridiculous money. I mean I like Abigor but not for $88 and it's a CD who gives a shit

the singer in me can't listen to "Entrance-Escape" without cringing at how off-pitch the harmonies are (due to the lower voice being flat as fuq)....but otherwise Mardraum RULES>...
seeing them in a few weeks. mostly going for Wolves in the Throne Room, who I missed last year, but i've started to get heavily into Enslaved in recent years.
Khemmis is fun too.
