  • I think they like Dream Theater :P

  • Its like Mastodon and Gorogoth totally buttfucked and had a baby!

  • @Awesomo12000 Well, that was incredibly generic of you to say.

  • fuckin brilliant!

    

  • Amazing

    

  • maybe my favorite song ever.

  • This song is a masterpiece. Fuck it. This whole album is a masterpiece!! This is the kind of music that inspires me to push on in life and continue to be who I am!!! Whoever thinks Enslaved is just "some band" has some serious work and reconsidering to do.

  • That's was the best song i had listened to in a long time until i got to lightening!

  • There is so much going on in this album its unreal!!!!

  • This is one of the only bands that actually gets BETTER with each release, It does sound a bit like some Opeth releases but is that really a bad thing?

  • @TabathaFerShiz No it's not a bad thing because Opeth are amazing! I actually saw Enslaved with Opeth and then again with Dimmu Borgir recently.

  • Enslaved have always been oddballs within black metal, their Viking metal releases were pretty standard, but then they started towards a more progressive style. This album is still very black, with heavy progressive elements. You still have tons of blast beats and tremolo picking, with a heavy focus of atmosphere. That's the basics of black metal, mixed with tone shifts and technicality of progressive metal. To say this album isn't black metal is ignorant.

  • WTF

  • hell of an album !! incredible band !!!!!!! hope they come soon to my town : D

  • nice

  • Enslaved used to be brutal norweigian black metal....wtf happened?!!!

  • @jaramungas they got older. people change when they get older man

  • @Carnifex11100 if getting older means u get shitter, then i don't wanna get old... by all means change direction, but change your band name if you do

  • @jaramungas they didnt get shittier they just changed direction like for example i get the feeling your young around teens u really think when your 40 or 50 your gonna wanna be headbanging like crazy and making fast music you wont u slow down i love their old stuff too and their new stuff

  • @Carnifex11100 1st of all i'm 27. 2nd of all they haven't changed direction but started a total new path. 3rd of all if u bang you headbang like carzy to black meteal, clearly u and i have didfferent views and opinions of what black metal is...

  • @jaramungas you can't say they got shittier, because they didn't, they just changed their atmosphere and got more progressed...

  • @jaramungas They got better, that's what happened. I love both frosty, old-school BM and this more progressive newer stuff. The atmosphere they create is better now, which is one of the main objectives of black metal. You'll be hard-pressed to find a 2010 metal record that tops this.

  • @aarongtr180 This is not black metal.... progressive metal at best. You obviously are mislead in what you think the atmosphere of black metal should be. I can name a lot of albums of 2010 that top this 1 by miles, and enslaved have been one of my favourite bands since i could hear. That is why i am very dissapointed with this and it saddens me..... I stand by what i said in my original post.

  • @jaramungas Black metal "should" be contemplative, dark, and emotionally stimulating. This album is all three. Have you looked at the lyrics? They celebrate pagan heritage and condemn its oppressors; much more interesting than rambling on about Satan, who doesn't even exist. The music is not just one repeated idea throughout an entire song, which is sadly what quite a lot of black metal is. I love everything from Transylvanian Hunger to Revelations of the Black Flame to Fallen to this album.

  • @jaramungas They evolved man.

  • @jaramungas They changed style, umad?

  • AVE ENSLAVED!!!! THIS SONG FUCKS DIMMU!! :D

  • This has been my theme song for the past two weeks lol.

    Majestic indeed

    ALL HAIL ENSLAVED!

  • Enslaved! :D

  • fuk this is really cool shit, i just wish there was none of that pussy singing on the verses

  • @bocherks I disagree. I like their clean vocals and I think this song wouldn't be as good without them.

  • @bocherks This is why there are so few innovative bands like Enslaved amongst all the identical metal bands you find these days. Because ignoramuses such as yourself cannot open your minds to something different from the standard norm.

  • cyclic ure a tit prob the best album of the year maybe u should go buy some burzum!!!

  • This song is majestic. All Hail Enslaved!

  • i wear their shirt with pride as often as i can. this is one of the best songs i've heard in a long time, but what adds to it is that its an album closer, which leaves Axioma Ethica Odini on a TREMENDOUS note. its why it was my pick for album of the year 2010.

  • This song blew my mind when I was blazed, and to my surprise it did the same sober. Great fucking song.

  • damn i didnt know enslaved could be that good.im not indifferent to them anymore.im surprised...

  • i like the clean vocals at the start of the song.

  • I'm wearing my Enslaved shirt while listening to this song. Coincidence? Yes but Enslaved is awesome so I don't care.

  • 4:53 is one of the coolest things I've ever heard.

  • Their old stuff is a lot better in my opinion. They got too progressive. Still better than most of the music out there, but nothing beats 90's black metal. Blodhem and Eld are 10x better than this.

  • @Dyemonic946 All depends on one's tastes, I think. :-)

  • Just discovered this song/band (though I've heard of the hype) and I'm fucking impressed o0 Awesome song.

  • @Resifreak90 +1

  • FUCKING AGREE! This song is EPIC! Awesome music breaks loose at 45 seconds.

  • Aww... I've found my new musical obsession : Enslaved !!! :D

  • Hails From India !!! Amazing Song ! They were Amazingly Epic Live \m/

  • also, is it just me, or do enslaved improve immensely with each album?

  • @metalsanga it's everyone man! :D hahaha this is legit one of my favorite albums

  • I'm glad bloody rock fire put that up, i was beginning to feel like the only metalhead who doesn't like opeth. I don't think they suck per se, but i can't work out what everybody likes about them. Incidentally, i'm a trained classical pianist with an honours degree, so i like to think i know good music when i hear it, and opeth doesn't tick that box. It's harmonically unimaginative (using the odd extension chord does not make prog music) and very repetitive And yes, i too love bloodbath.

  • @metalsanga I think it all boils down to musical taste. Some people like Attack Attack! and I can't understand why. Just gotta find what makes you happy and go with it, y'know?

  • @metalsanga I too, am a metalhead who doesn't like Opeth that much. Nothing wrong with them, just nothing's ever made any kind of impact. I find it kind of bland.

  • Comment removed

  • @LordRumpusaurus As do I. They possess talent, they do the acoustic progressions well, every member holds their own.. but they just never drew me in too much.

  • @metalsanga Seriously? Opeth uses a variety of chords that gives their music many layers. You call them unimaginative but you love Bloodbath? They're not even technical DM or anything special, they often use just power chords and typical techniques. And I don't consider Opeth repetitive really. They repeat their riffs 4, sometimes 6 times like anyother band. They just write long riffs.

  • Brilliant music!!

  • first listen sounds good

  • I'm not 100% loving the clean vocals that start some of the verses during the "slower" parts. Otherwise, it's great. I like the production better than Vertebrae, but it could still use some more lower end. This album will further alienate black metal purist. Enslaved are the exact opposite of Mayhem today. Sure both were great black metal bands in 94, but Enslaved are the only ones to expand their sound, and abandon the black metal constraints, although your opinion may vary on which is better.

  • @usefulidiot227 pretty fair assessment. I personally got no issue with the clean vox, but hey, to each their own. I still can't believe these guys aren't headlining their own tours. They are better than any of the bands they open for!

  • @usefulidiot227 Fuck black metal purists, really, just a bunch of fucking low-life hipsters.

  • extremely nice stuff;Opeth got me into loving progressive metal all the way;such interesting bands can be found within this scene

  • @bloodyrockfire Opeth sucks IMHO

  • @xi0wnallx "Opeth sucks" oh yeah very clever bub,unless you can give me proper reason why they suck in your point of view.At least state it with a clear referance to your dislikes not just spit your damn hatred upon another prog band.Now I'm waiting for your reply I hope you sure can tell me why you dislike them;it's ok if you do not like their style but that doesn't mean they lack quality

  • @bloodyrockfire i really dont like they style. they bore me to complete boringness. haha. i dont like them because their sound doesnt appeal to me at all. like theres nothing catchy. however i do like mikeal or w/e in bloodbath, if that counts?

  • @xi0wnallx Ok that's perfectly fine I told you if Opeth's music doesn't suit your tastes but it doesn't necessarily mean they suck.Many peaple try to suggest a whole band and fan dare not worth listening to just because of a personal opinion.That's not fair at all you know;of course peaple have the right to speak but as long as their statement has any logic behind it.I don't consider Opeth boring at all,music isn't all about aggresion or catchyness;There's no need for it to make you dance

  • @xi0wnallx or jump out of the chair;you have to try to be patient and experiment it,try to figure the meanig behind it;don't be ashemed of yourself just because they don't play entirely metal;it actually doesn't matter what genre it is,as long as it is good noncommerical and honest music,you may let it go.Bloodbath for instance is also very good;Mikael does an excellent job.There's no point for competition when we talk about true music here.

  • @bloodyrockfire well i also listen to other ambient music. and i do experiment with other music haha, if you have a look a my ipod you will see its defiantly not jsut metal. i just do not find Opeth exciting or even worth while to listen to. Agalloch is supposedly like Opeth, as i see that on alot of posts. however, they most certainly are not. i like other prog music to, theres jsut something about Opeth that does not tickle my ears to jizz.

  • The Best Band Of The World

  • what a fuckin album.nice1

  • this is so fucking good

  • Escucho y escucho este disco y me vuela la cabeza ...

  • I just found out Enslaved released a new album, this sounds fucking amazing. I love how they keep changing up every album, one of the most important metal bands out there

  • @satyrisci Yeah, you're definitely right.. it's a shame because stuff like Hordanes Land, Frost and Vikingligr Veldi is so good.

  • @satyrisci oh go dig up some old mayhem and immortal albums and lock yourself in your mom's basement, and let the rest of us listen to real music in peace!

  • For this treason I want to see them....... BUUUUUUUUUUUUURN!

  • I just bought it like a week ago and its more different then the last one but clean vocals aren't new here. Its awesome!!!!!

  • For this treason, I want to see them..... BURN!!! So powerful!

  • @Kangapoo87 hunt them down, make them understand the power I possess

    very powerful indeed

  • yo, buy this at cmdistro, theyll throw in a shirt with the cd for like 20 bux

  • Damn great stuff lotta different kinds of things going on in here. Much approval this is awesome

  • I came. 

  • 3:30 ^_^

  • holy fuck. how have i not stumbled on these guys before now? my two favorite genres: prog metal and death metal...BUT IN THE SAME BAND!!! AGAIN!!! (opeth, gojira, etc. also kick excessive ass)

  • @PsychoticPulse

    I agree. Plus, anyone who's a Kings of Leon fan should go have their heads examined if they think that band is somehow deep!

    Enslaved are fantastically excellent, along with Nachtmystium (Addicts just blew me away!) I think we're living in VERY INTERESTING times nowadays, at least music wise.

  • Enslaved and Nachtmystium have produced the most awe-inspiring, creative music of the year. Those Kings of Leons fans really need to open their minds and get into something a little deeper like this.

  • @PsychoticPulse insanely deep- the ethical principles of Odin, the metaphysics of the runes and human soul's journey

    Addicts scared the shit outta me though, pretty disturbing stuff

  • @emperorofthenorth5 Haha especially Blood Trance Fusion. That song is one of the grimiest I've ever heard, but no one can say Nachtmystium isn't skilled as hell at creating dark atmosphere.

  • @PsychoticPulse oh hell yeah dude, No Funeral freaks me out good

  • @emperorofthenorth5 -- all concomitants of the nordic branch of the white race. It's great that Enslaved extols and invokes the pan-pagan ethic and idyll in their songs. I just wish they would overtly support the white race. After all, race is a empirical and forensic reality and not a "social construct". And white people are being car-jacked, raped, robbed, home-invaded and murdered by non-whites everyday all across Europe and the U.S.. It's genetic, not socio-economic.

  • @Gravelandart I believe the metaphysical elements of their music takes precedence over an overtly prideful message. Although I agree that those with Anglo/Saxon heritage and/or Scandinavian ancestry need to have pride and understand their origins, every race on earth can complain the same way: that they are exploited daily. What shall set the Nordic peoples apart from the rest will be an unyielding devotion to their own history and pride in tradition. Enslaved are fulfilling this through music

  • @PsychoticPulse lol, KOL are ironically far more edgy than Nachtmystirum, who are utter trend hopping garbage.

  • @PsychoticPulse they are two of the most interesting bands pushing the boundaries of black metal today

  • AMAZING! Very intense song! I so fucking need this new album ^^°

  • Enslaved are gods! One of my alltime fav bands! This song reminds me a lot of Opeth, especially the beginning, but that's ok. It fits very well! Great album, need it!

  • luuuuuv it!!!

  • this album fucking rules!

  • The best on whole album, this is a truly masterpiece !!!!

  • This is probably the most epic song I've heard in a long time.

  • @ArntorFTL ENSLAVED IS GONNA TAKE OVER THE WORLD....

  • Waaaah, a rcih one, great!

  • One truly amazing album this, and Lightening is one hell of a masterpiece!

  • Realy great band and song.

  • Upload more

  • Wow, not only the first comment, but the first view. Album is beast, song is beast. I love it
