  • Grutle Kjellson, vocalist, bassist and founding member of legendary Norwegian metal band Enslaved, took some time to discuss the bands album art work, their musical influences and inspiration. They've worked with the same artist, Truls Espedal for most of their career, and continue to evolve as a band. Their 2022 Cinematic Tour was an audiovisual feast fit for a Viking king, and we're eagerly awaiting the next album, Heimdal.
    As long time Enslaved and progressive rock and metal fans, we are grateful for Grutle taking the time, it was a log of fun hanging and talking music for a little while.
    Thanks for watching!

    Just a quick note: We incorrectly credited the 7" single cover for "Homebound" to long time Enslaved collaborator Truls Espedal. It was actually created by the amazing Brazilian graphic artist Marcelo Vasco!

    I am an old metal head and was really into the thrash scene of the 80s 5:04 and other more expiremental stuff celtic frost and candlemass as well.Then as time went on drifted away and during the 90s got into prog and inducstrial. Fast forward to 2003. Was really bored with music decided to check out the current metal scene. Checked out metal mags and one band got high praise Enslaved. Picked up Isa based on a review. Having never been into black metal. Isa was a challenge but by the third full listen was in love. I missed a couole rekeases dueto sime heavy personaloroblems. But got bang into enslaved on the m album. Best metal band have been on board for the ride and never looked back.

    Less than a month until Heimdal! Singles so far are amazing!

    Ruun might be my favourite album simply because its the one that I experienced in full before any other album and constantly come back to. In Times might be their greatest achievement in terms of just pure objective quality and a clear and concise example of exactly where Enslaved has come from and where they're going. Their discography is truly monumental and every release is simply excellent in it's own way.

    You’re doing really excellent work. What a great interview! Thanks for making it happen. I especially related to Grutle’s thoughts on the Maiden art. I too had to make the pilgrimage to the Ruskin Arms. 🤘🏿🙂🤘🏿
    Hard to pinpoint a favorite Enslaved album as their body of work is glorious front to back. A new record is always an event. Excited for the new one that’s coming!

      Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, definitely one of our favourite interviews we’ve done!
      It’s true what you say, and there’s an evolution to each record so it’s hard to even compare them half the time!
