Enslaved is a metal band from Bergen, Norway. Their style has changed over the years. Originally being an old-school black metal/viking metal act, they now perform a more experimental form of progressive black metal with folk influences. The name was inspired by an Immortal demo track, Enslaved in Rot.
Enslaved was formed in 1991, by Ivar Bjørnson and Grutle Kjellson. Joined by drummer Trym Torsson, they did their first demo in the summer of 1992. While working with the first full length, there came a call from England, resulting in the two 1993 legendary mini albums; Hordanes land and Emperor These two mini-albums was released as a split-record “Emperor/Hordanes Land”. Due to tragic circumstances, Enslaved’s debut album Vikingligr Veldi was held back until the spring of 1994. Enslaved moved their label base to French Osmose Productions, and Frost were released late in the 1994. Enslaved were now known outside the Black / Extreme circles of Northern Europe. This led to the “Winter War Europe Tour ‘95”, and the first Norwegian Black / Extreme tour ever in the US, Canada and Mexico during ’95. The tours were a great success; but Trym Torson moved on to join Emperor as a drummer.
Eld was recorded with drummer Harald Helgeson in 1996, and released the year after. However, working with Harald was no permanent solution, so Dirge Rep (then Gehenna) and R. Kronheim were hired, becoming integral parts during the recording of Blodhemn (’98).

Chill GenesisRIsen. I didn't compare them at all. I justs said they're cut from the same cloth. I'll give those tracks a spin again Cassandra-Leo. I see your name in a lot of shoutboxes saying good things so I'll give 'em the benefit of the doubt!

and by "Slaget om Skogen Bortenfor" I meant "Slaget i skogen bortenfor." My Norwegian is even worse than I thought it was.

Enslaved are one of those bands that started out with the traditional (and inevitable) raw black/viking-metal sound, but changed later on by trying out new styles and directions. More bands out of that 90s wave of bands should have done that. Great band.

How in the fuck can you even compare Enslaved and Amon Amarth? Good fuck. Anyone who thinks that those two are in the same musical genre should just castrate themselves with a cheese grater. Merry Christmas, retard.

cirruswolf: try tracks like "793 (Slaget om Lindisfarne)", "Større enn Tid - Tyngre enn Natt", "Entrance - Escape", "As Fire Swept Clean the Earth," "The Crossing", and "Neogenesis" - those are the ones where Enslaved wear their prog influences most obviously on their sleeve. Though to be honest, the prog influences have been there, albeit significantly less overt, since at least "Slaget om Skogen Bortenfor".

Could someone please explain why Enslaved are so often considered "progressive"? I just can never really hear it in their tracks; I just hear viking metal that doesn't bite so readily into the cliches that are bands like Amon Amarth.
