Enslavement of Beauty is a Symphonic black metal band from Norway.
The band combines synthesized instruments with guitars and a somewhat throathy black-metal vocal. The instrumentalizations are very orchestral, rich, and intense. The lyrics are usually concerned with sex and love and generally consist of a very rapid and angry/sad rhyming poetry. The poetry is inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, William Shakespeare and the Marquis de Sade.
The Story
Enslavement of Beauty was formed in January 1995 by Ole Alexander Myrholt (vocals & lyrics) and Tony Eugene Tunheim (guitars & composing).
The band spent the subsequent years composing and recording material and thereby developed their expression.
In the summer of 1998, Enslavement of Beauty recorded the demo CD “Devilry & Temptation” which gained them a deal with Head Not Found / Voices of Wonder.
This resulted in the 1999 release “Traces o’ Red” which received very positive response. In November 2000, the beauticians headed back to the studio to record their second album, “Megalomania”, accompanied by drummer Asgeir Mickelson (Borknagar/Spiral Architect) and bass player Hans-Aage Holmen.
Musically the band still sounds very melodic and deeply inspired by classical music but with a sharper metal edge and a truly hell-bent rock ‘n’ roll attitude. Lyrically Enslavement of Beauty is more direct approach but still highly influenced by the poetic beauty of Shakespeare and De Sade’s works.

1999 and 2001 year's albums, Traces O'Red and Megalomania - masterpieces . I hope they will record at least 30% (awesomeness %) of these albums in future. To MrEdenspring , if u looking for bands with growling that makes losers feel like men - watch Commercial bands with 1mil+ plays, like CoB or DB. gl.

No one care about them because no one bother looking at the lyrics. The wall of sound it's all that matter today, that and tough growling to make losers feel like men. Too good EOB didn't disband, the new stuff is good enough, it's not like they ve gone POP like Sirenia...
