[That70showroxs]

[InfernalScum666]

[therobgooch]

[MrB0N3SY]

Viking Metal: Better than that faggoty emo music, because we're brutal and we'll chop your god damn head off with a battle axe if you dispute our claims. Hail Ragnorok!

[gwm666]

Fix the computers.

[hammet8]

fucking sick live. singer is dope live too

[ILuvMacNchEeSe]

@kylehuckins213 ...seeing this song live WAS incredible. i wasn't at the show you were at, but earlier in the tour....it almost brought me to tears.

[kylehuckins213]

This was the highlight of seeing them last night.

[darkdrageon]

Most of Black Metal is crap, but bands like this out stand the genre

[Nomekiller]

Theres so much emotion in this song

[PantsaTV]

Always great live

[Widarr]

this is one of the most beautiful songs ever

[felipelibre]

in love with this song. amazing.

[mdfqisthebest]

To Infinity and Beyond!

[gwm666]

R.P. This band is the best from this country.

[facepalm486]

their best song. their best album.

[IntoxicateDead]

Love This Song! I can connect to it in so many ways. ...AS FIRE...SWEPT CLEAN THE EARTH!!!

[jadEReeah]

Enslaved My Heart

[MrDodstink]

Total massacre of anger, wrath and victory!!

[UnusedNamesAreRare]

The high, wailing, few-second-long guitar parts which, on paper, would seem so insignificant, truly makes this song the masterpiece it is.

[leadu13004]

Guys, I just can't stop listening to this song. Stopping cigarets is easier to me :D

Amazing intro o_o

[stonecoldatheist93]

@thorwald350 some of them are lol

[TheDrunkLemon]

@thorwald350 yeah, enslaveds ideology and all that is basically the same thing, they just play it in a more classy, melodic way almost.

[Mutilator6666]

what a shitty song....

Enslaved post-Mardraum is just a bastard entity. Nor black metal, nor psychedelic rock, just nothing.

What a disappontiment.

[Virgilivs87]

@Mutilator6666

do you need to categorize a band at all costs? personally, i really appreciate this record

[chiaromontestephen]

just another top-notch enslaved song.

[deadindisguise]

SKrY209.tk CHECKIT!!

[Qbert909]

does anyone else listen to and like Graveworm?

i think that this song and "A Dreaming Beauty" by Graveworm are two incredibly beautiful songs that are somewhat similar.

anybody agree or dissagree?

also the lyrics for this song are amazingly well written. i am always in awe of the lyrical quality of songs like this. the song captures and broadcast the feeling in the lyrics perfectly if you ask me.

[starchild6776]

@Qbert909 Graveworm is the first black metal band i listened they are so amazing! their cover of loosong my religion of R.E.M is very beautifull too!

[chiaromontestephen]

@Qbert909 graveworm is fucking badass just like enslaved.

[g0d0fgu1tar]

sick album cover. badass outro. fucking love the song

[leadu13004]

Intro and Outro just ROCK !!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG

[MathieuCaWeb]

metal at it's finest, Hail Enslaved !

[MathieuCaWeb]

awesome ! This song and Enslaved are fucking great

[Rukazor]

This is certainly the best song off the album. I can't wait to see them in nov with Dimmu. Be my first time catching them, 4th time seeing dimmu :\

[aspyn17]

the ending is legendary. blast beats ftw

[williambentley1234]

omg when that middle riff kicks in i bang my head SO FUCKING HAAAAARD! woooo!

[Faerlon123]

This song actually makes my mind depict fire sweeping clean the earth.

[RootsOfJarnwid]

That is actually no black metal at all, Enslaved always underline that they consider themselves as an Extreme Metal band.

My favourite song of below the lights ;)

[Surge197]

@RootsOfJarnwid Isn't black metal extreme metal?

[InvisibleSandwichTM]

@Surge197 Black metal is intended to be extreme.

Remember, Enslaved began their life as a relatively straight ahead black metal band (Up to Vikingligr Veldi, I'm guessing) and over time morphed into their "progressive extreme metal" sound.

[TH3B0N3C0LL3CT0R]

i didnt mean to imply that at all my friend. please dont hastily preach to me about the existence of satan and God with a capital g over a youtube comment, they would hardly appreciate that. nor do i make out enslaved to be satanists. i just want this song to melt my face

[SpavnOvHel]

This is a purely wondrous song. All the different layers, blended together...

Plus, I have heard them/it live as well. Blew me away.

[hoopodi]

This is quickly becoming my favourite BM song... Its so good on so many levels.

[elbuengaspar]

the first time I heard this song I was soo freaked out. I scared the shit out of me.

It felt great.

[garrett8242]

pop is easy to make because it is made for the lowest common denominator.

[jabo20]

not a word can describe the outro.........

beautiful is simply an understatement...

[littlebiggamer296]

Just amazing.

[nfldraftman]

So glad that Opeth brought these guys over and they toured together in the US. What a magnificent show, and pairing of two great veteran bands. Enslaved performed this, and it was one of my highlights of the night.

[nickwaterstraat]

I saw them with Opeth too. It was a great show, and I will not forget their performance of this song. It was so unearthly, like nothing else was real.

[MakeABanana]

I'll always remember this as the first black metal song I heard... on a summer night after my freshman year in high school.

[nivramrelyt]

This song is absolutely epic live, it sounds even more amazing when the double bass drums are making your heart rumble and just absolutely everything. 5/5 stars

[skyskraper31]

Agreed...front row at Wacken for them was surreal to say the least..

[AwesomeoJude]

wow

T_______T

[Zom879]

you spelt fuck wrong dude....

[TH3B0N3C0LL3CT0R]

forgive me, Zom879, although i knew how i spelled it before the message was posted. my intent was only inspire a personal liking to the song rather than complaining to one another, but clearly you have missed the point. oh well, i still enjoy the song

[TH3B0N3C0LL3CT0R]

you are all idiots. just shut the funk up and listen to the god forsaken song for satan's sake

[Neuroneos]

For satan's sake ?? You listen to Black Metal it doesn't mean that you need to believe in satan, kid. I don't believe in Satan, because if he exists, then God exists too.

[DeathGrindHorrorPunk]

@Neuroneos if both of them do exist, that doesn't mean that God is the more powerful of the two. He just happens to be the one with the most propaganda. Side note: Enslaved are Pagans not Satanists

[SonOfSkyrim]

@cardboarddalek Most? Satanism has nothing to do with Satan. Satan worshippers are different though.

[cardboarddalek]

@SonOfSkyrim Wow, you know it's pretty amazing looking at your old youtube comments and realizing how stupid you sounded... it's removed now

[SonOfSkyrim]

@cardboarddalek :D i just realized that it was a very old comment, dunno why i even replied...

[JokerHimself]

Best song on the album in my opinion. Love Enslaved.

[666beneath]

"BM" in each comment, like kids xD - oooh this is bm.. yeeeees and it is prooog... nooooo it is viking... but its commercial so its shiiiit... yeeees and it is mainstreaaaam, it suuuux...

[DethmetalUSA]

Enslaved= Black metal and Viking metal in a perfect balance

[thehollow89]

Don't forget progressive metal :)

[JokerHimself]

Enslaved = Progressive Black Metal

[williambentley1234]

ugh can someone please explain the lyrics to me? i cant figure em out

[666beneath]

they have very deep text so its hard for one to understand it... some of em you can understand just after reading books about runes or northern mythology with explantion

[sls12bal]

as far as the commercial music argument goes, most successful songs and acts have big time money from record companies backing them so it gets jammed the publics throat like a big, horrible cock of banality.

but yes, enslaved is amazing. i saw them with opeth in boston last week. fucking killed it as well.

[ZombifiedPreacher1]

masterpiece

[soerstoe]

2:36!

[BebeYada]

The music is good but I don't like his voice. It would be better if the grunt voice was deeper. But still, I like it a lot.

[St37One]

amazing atmosphere!

[Getty420]

They are fucking talented musicians and if say this isn't music then your a moron

[ObscurantisMetal]

it is made better than any commercial music

[JokerHimself]

What do you mean its made better? That its harder to make or what???

[ObscurantisMetal]

clearly! it´s progressive music, it´s dificult to play, it has changing times, and it has relation with the jazz.

Long live to BM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Long live to Enslaved! prog BM!!!!!!

[JokerHimself]

Of course. its true, but what do you know about how to make hip hop and so on? However, Enslaved are one of the few bands in the world that are "well-thought-trough-music" haha ... xD listen to the album Ruun. Its their best album, the Vertebrae og Ruun-albums are the only one I got, I love those albums.

[thefucingchamp]

You think its easy to make a commercial song? If it was that easy to make popular music that sold millions of albums there'd be many more people doing it.

[luparul]

Making a commercial song is like becoming a prostitute. There will always be men to pay to screw you. And there you have the musical prostitution. Compare the first and last Dimmu Borgir albums for better understanding. They say it's musical evolution... I call it prostitution.

Now, compare the first and last Enslaved albums. This is where evolution stands, in better sound and composition.

I listen to both mentioned bands, but it's easy to realize whose side I am on.

[thefucingchamp]

I agree, and I don't listen to most mainstream bands. However, I still say its not EASY to make a pop song. Its very hard to be that catchy and appeal to millions of people, and thats why people get payed so much money to write songs like that for pop stars.

[thehollow89]

The problem isn't that it's easy to make a catchy song. The problem is that most artists that do so are doing it for the money, and disregarding the music that's in their heart.

[thehollow89]

Pop not as much, but rap is fairly easy to do. I have a friend of mine who can churn out songs that people would find catchy, and they generally do. All it requires is a simple and catchy beat, which are so easy to make, and basic lyrics and some "rhythmic talking" lol.

[Nomekiller]

Well, some pop artists make an album with three good songs, and they make musicvideos for those select three. But the other songs might be crappy, because the advertisement the whole album gets makes people buy it.

Some famous rock bands do this as well, but the other songs are usually better.

I think it's relatively easy to make a pop song if youre working on a record. What so many bands fail to do is to exclude those songs which aren't good Enough.They often have too many songs to include.

[thehollow89]

Enslaved is also a lot more art-sie than Dimmu. Enslaved is more about atmosphere, where as Dimmu is much more symphonic. Enslaved is very similar to Opeth in my opinion.

[rene1OOO3]

you're deaf.

[Badelaire]

The best of prog BM Enslaved.

[Oplexicon]

Their good..Love them but Akercocke who also is Progressive and fuses Black Metal and Death is quite a contender.

[monsalvo666]

cant stop crying! fuckin masterpiece

[agtronix]

yeah, this song is amazing...

[cghit23]

The best band in fucking scandinavia!!!!!....period

[Faerlon123]

The melancholy of this song makes a shitty day better, Enslaved is awesome, i will say no more.

[Cthulttio]

My favourite song from them.

[Doobie41224]

I consider it viking metal. Dig the runes on some of the album art.

[dark09skies]

They are one of the best black metal bands out there!!

[VoidOvNihil1134]

no matter how much time passes, but i don't hear anything bad about enslaved... thus proving this is one of the best BM bands out there...

[SubstantialAbuse]

Strangely enough, it's not black metal, prog metal, or anything like that. They say it's just something else entirely.

[VoidOvNihil1134]

i don't even care if it is BM or not, it surely has some influence... and prog metal, ya i've seen that a lot. many music sites classify enslaved as that. but yes this is so much more, and one of their best albums indeed. have most of their stuff, pure art!

[Isnaard]

TY for this, bukkake33 (:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD your nick sucks though).

Just the perfect song to break my head completeley.

ps. drunk!

[NorwegianMetalDude]

I would have this played in my funeral
