Norwegian progressive black avantgardists Enslaved have completed the recording process of their 14th full-length masterpiece. It was recorded in the renowned Fascination Street Studios and mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren just like its predecessor ‘In Times’ which stormed European magazine rankings. The metal veterans from Bergen still never look back and keep on expanding their horizons and this spring they’ve created a ‘spectacular sound chimera of experimental prog filled with majestic melodies, epic sound landscapes and stirring black metal moments’ – all united in a ‘grand storm’ that will reach us this autumn.
“I’m always psyched and proud when we finish an album recording, and this is no exception!” states singer Grutle Kjellson. “It was a really exciting process this time, with the line-up change and everything, so although it wasn’t a dramatic change, the band dynamics were suddenly different. But, it was like a little re-boot, a fresh start so to speak. The studio sessions were great, and we all feel that we have done something truly amazing. We hope you’ll enjoy it. Ugh!”
