In my opinion this song is pretty weak compared to the rest of the album - I'm not saying it's bad, just that the entire album is awesome and should get waaaay more recognition.
@Haloman777: Nowadays, but their earliest work (I'd say up to Frost) is a rather ambient, ritual sort of black metal - then they started adding the prog elements, and so forth.
@omega1231 Viking Metal came from Black Metal though and is really close to it. Viking Metal has more emphasis on gallop riffs than tremelo picking as a whole. Lyrically it's more based on Pagan beliefs and what not, rather than Satanism and the occult.
@omega1231 Seriously what does it even matter? Why do people say enslaved are a black metal or viking metal band when they are quite simply an AWESOME band?
The BM/Norway portion (where this song plays) clearly explains why they burn down churches. It was supposed to be a reaction to the "invasion" of Christianity to the (then-) pagan lands of Scandinavia.
THATS MY FUCKIN FAVORITE DOCUMENTARY EVER!!!! I can never get enough of it! Thats where i heard this song first.. i then heard it on a Viking metla Vid... i was like.. NEED TO FIND IT!!
awsome song i believe that they play this in the viking/norway/black metal part of Metal-a headbanger's journy? im not really sure, im kinda new to enslaved

I heard this song on Metal: A Headbanger's Journey, so I came here to find it. I don't listen to a lot of black metal, but this song is great.

Enslaved is just progressive metal band. They even said in an interview they prefer that term and want to avoid being called Viking or Black metal.

@Haloman777 Cool, but they're still a black metal band.

@Haloman777 Who cares? Pretty much every band wants to be called progressive.

There is something called Viking black metal.. Like Amon amarth is actualy death metal.. but because it's viking themed it's called viking metal.
