Having toured the world many times, Enslaved have become one of the most recognizable blackened metal bands currently playing. The band’s previous album “Riitiir”, which was released in 2012, debuted at #8 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart in the US and charted in the Billboard Top 200 in countries all over the world like Norway, UK, Finland, Germany and more!
Composed and produced by Enslaved members themselves, “In Times” is the band’s 13th full length release. Recorded in Norway as well as deep in the woods of Valevåg, south of Bergen, “In Times“ consists of 6 tracks with a total running time of fifty-three minutes.
“The songs are extensions of my inner and outer life, the thoughts I am aware of having, as well as those that lie too deep to register in everyday consciousness. The songs are the resounds of grandiose altered states and mundane tiny micro-events. In addition, they are, of course, also the result of inspiration from other music and art,” continues the band’s guitarist, Ivar Bjørnson.
Enslaved will headline a tour in March 2015 that will take them all over North America.
