00:38 - BoxCar Willy Anyone know any good cassette labels in the US or Canada?
00:06 - Jaeryd17 Oh, and responding to some of the posts after mine 10 pages back, Opeth played 5 songs with death growls in the concert. And they sounded pretty good, better than Royal Albert Hall, but he didn't (or couldn't) do long growls.
23:44 - Jaeryd17 Still, 91 year old guy doing what he really wants to do... and it's metal. That's badass by itself.
23:41 - Jaeryd17 Christopher Lee's new stuff sounds a bit better than the other stuff I've heard from him. Of course, that was a tiny sample, so I can't be sure.

From Viking-tinged black metal band to progressive super-heavyweights, Enslaved have constantly evolved with each release. RIITIIR continues the path of progression as it tackles the near-impossible task of following on from their 2010 masterpiece.
If you want to hear about a minute of a new Enslaved track, check out this interview. You will have to scroll down through the article as the song clip is embedded about two interview questions below the photo of the guy sitting at the computer.
From what I can tell, it sounds like a lot of the proggy elements are being brought back.
Absolutely wonderful. Maybe I even like it more than Axioma, which was already superb.
12 albums, 20 years of music, and Enslaved still can't do anything wrong... Hats off.
Still don't know whether i'll give this a 9 or a 10, I guess I should wait for maybe 2 years to decide
Ok, now it sounds to me like a collection of riffs, rather than a collection of songs...
After a first listen I loved it, but not as much as Vertebrae or Axioma...
By the end of my 2nd listen I loved this album even more, and I honestly don't even know how it ranks among my top releases from them.
Enslaved just continues to impress over and over again, this album is so damn beautifully crafted. mind continues to be blown by the material from these guys.
Very good! It's clearly more progressive than AEO and tests the listener but it's worth it. Only the last couple of tracks are a little weaker.
I also suspect "Materal" is a typo, I clearly hear them sing 'maternal' in the actual song, and I don't think it's even an English word in the current form But since the official tracklist seems to be this way we of course need confirmation.
I am glad to see Be'lakor may have the chance to no longer be in the top position of 2012
And, besides Enslaved, i am looking forward to the upcoming release, like Wintersun or Cynic

I actually think 'Forsaken' is one of the highlights of the album. Also 'Materal' as far as I know is the right spelling.
I do not know why. But I was afraid That this album ... what blasphemy ... it will teach me not to doubt Enslaved ... Great Album, all are good. Memories Of Storm alone is boring.
I discovered them yesterday because of this album. I didn't listen to it from start to finish but from what I've heard so far, it's a really good album. I'm definitely going to check out their catalog.
I didn't like the use of clean vocals on this one too much overall. For example, I feel good songs like "Death" and "Roots" were ruined by some bland vocal melodies on the choruses. Like it would be the same (or better) if they were screamed/growled.
There are some really good moments but I think this is far from their best effort. The songs I liked the most were the two ones they used to tease the album.

The clean vocals are the reason that I liked theses songs btw, these are the best songs in the album.
Others to mention: RIITIIR and the two they released before (even though I thought that they were pretty average). The rest is just... I don't know, can't feel the magic.
Loading...
