Enthral is a Black Metal Band from Norway

Current line-up:
Kjetil Hektoen: Vocals, Drums
Gunnhild Bratset: Guitars
Kai Åsvik: Bass
(Session live vocals by Mannevond)

Ex-members:
Martin Rafoss - Bass, Cello
Espen Simonsen - Lead, Rythm and Acoustic Guitars

1995: The band was formed by Kjetil Hektoen and Gunnhild Bratset in their home town of Sunndalsøra, Norway. The purpose was to perform atmospheric music in the guise of black metal. After a relocation to the capital of Oslo, the band continued rehearsing and developing their music.

1996: The band, having now taken the name Enthral, recorded their first demo with a session bass player in the month of March this year. “Demo 1996” was primitively recorded on a 4-track portastudio and released in an extremely limited number. Following a summer of much rehearsing, the band recorded the track “Awaiting the Rise of the Forestgod” in August. Some days later, a video recording of this track took place, though it has never been officially released. The audio track nevertheless appeared on the Hot Records compilation CD “The Rape of the Holy Trinity” in 1997.

1997: Enthral was offered a recording deal by Hot Records and recruited bassist Martin Rafoss as a permanent member and integral part of the band. May saw the release of “Prophecies of the Dying” - Enthral’s first album, recorded in the short time span of four days. In the following months, the band grew, obtaining a second guitarist; Espen Simonsen (ex-The Flesh), as well as a keyboardist, Stian Aarstad (ex-Dimmu Borgir).

    The first two albums are masterpieces, in my opinion of couse :). VERY underrated! My favourite Enthral song is Awaiting the rise of the Forestgod, followed by A divine tragedy.

    Great band, although I like the first two albums a lot more than the death metal influenced last one.
