Haha, yeah, I didn't expect them to be prog � la DT! Black metal bands slowly changing their style to something different (-> progressive) usually means quite interesting results (� la Ulver), so I won't be avoiding Enslaved's recent releases.

Speaking of Hawkwind, that is another project from the prog side that I am going to check out some day, I believe I could dig their stuff.

...and remember when I say progressive I don�t mean Dream Theater. More like progressive ala Pink Floyd or Hawkwind.

Thanks, that'll be helpful! I'll see to the band in the future - probably starting from the beginning.

I can highly recommend starting with Isa, but if you enjoy the more old school sound ( I know you do) the first couple of albums are probably more down your alley. The most old school sounding are http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/enslaved--vikingligr-veldi.aspx and http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/enslaved--frost.aspx.

http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/enslaved--eld.aspx and http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/enslaved--blodhemn.aspx are pretty much alike. Eld is usually the one with the "classic" status though.
 
From then on Enslaved began to incorporate more and more progressive elements to their sound with each album culminating in the release of Vertebrae where almost all black metal elements except for Grutle�s raspy vocals are gone from the music. They�ve morphed into something very unique over the years IMO.

Once again a band that I should have checked a long time ago, but still haven't. Perhaps soon...

Wow that�s a great track. A bit sharper sounding than the laid back Vertebrae ( which I also enjoy greatly). I can�t wait. Enslaved quickly became one of my favorite acts when they released Isa.

Enslaved's newest is set to release this September. Anyone else stoked for it? I was one of the few people who enjoyed Vertebrae thoroughly, though I do agree that they could have improved some parts.

Anyway, check out the first track on the album. It seems pretty awesome to me. I love the first half or so, and the guitar solo's pretty sweet, but I don't know about those clean vocals at the end. They seem to channel Muse and/or Coldplay, and I'm not sure how I feel about them.

Anyway, new Enslaved album, new track, discuss.
Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.
