Well, it's time to get excited and curious about a new Enslaved album! Excited because it's Enslaved, and curious because not only is this the band's first album with keyboardist and clean vocalist Hakon Vinje (Seven Impale) after the departure of longtime member Herbrand Larsen in 2016, but also because Enslaved has dubbed this upcoming record one that's riskier than ever before!
Enslaved states that album is due out sometime this autumn via Nuclear Blast, and will be mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (Dark Tranquillity, Daylight Dies, Leprous, etc.). at Fascination Street Studios. Here's what Enslaved had to say about the album, as well as where it'll be playing this year so far!
