Enslaved Interview

[Orgsgrym]

Does anybody know, which song they are playing on 2:23 ?

[SamHartHugo]

@Orgsgrym The song is called 'Return to Yggdrasill'

[sneezeweed6]

Do your fucking research on the band - stop asking shit questions

[musicfolife1]

enslaved is awesome.

[wulfschtagg]

Don't keep stealing the mic when Brutal Grutle is talking, girl.

[WaterlyTom]

WHAT IN THE FUCK KIND OF SHOE DOES THAT GIRL HAVE AT 3:20 FUCK MY ASS MAN

[wedonttastetheair]

@WaterlyTom hahahaha those heels are MASSIVE

[devilred1971]

Enslaved has all the great influences i really enjoy the music whatever type of metal you want to label it .Also Rene is quite nice to look at,"I'm cummin"

[Tomnord1515]

Viking Metal-Cult!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[lordofdoosh]

First time i've heard any metal musician use the word "Bullocks" Also i wonder if he can just go to a job interview and be like "i have the equivalent of a grammy bitch!" and get a job.

[DurintheDeathless91]

So black metal is supposed to be about a rejection of mainstream society right?

I wonder why all the bands sing about hating Christianity. Its like they dont think for themselves, they all right almost identical lyrics, etc.

[Paolur]

@DurintheDeathless91 Listen to "Anti" by Mayhem and then listen to "The Watcher" by Enslaved. How are these identical?

[clefdefa]

@DurintheDeathless91 I think it has to do with many black metal bands are from Norway... They seems to have a hard time accepting Christiannity because it has been forced on them. So black metal bands like them, Mayhem and Gorgoroth just sing about that. If you check History of Heavy Metal : A headbanger journey. You will understand what they think and what they have done in the past.

[TheDrunkLemon]

@DurintheDeathless91 your a dumbass

[EthanEternal]

Goaaawd, he's gorgeous...!!

[moremoxi]

OMG...I just saw them last night, opening for Dimmu Borgir! I'm still spinning from it all, gadz. Grutle walked right past me, into The Regency Ballroom. I didn't really know they were going to be there. I hope it made him feel good when he saw how bright my eyes got when I saw him. I guess that may just happen a lot, though...anyway they were awesome ....

[MrRODAS666]

I`m proud they recorded the drums in Portugal.

[Gutnish]

oh, and the "hot" girl...could she try any harder? if that girl is your idea of "metal" then go hang out in hollywood, and youre watching the wrong band....try hair metal...

[Gutnish]

are the only other people watching this 14 year old boys? they have special videos if you want to go jack off, this is an interview with Grutle of Enslaved....

[InSuchSkull]

This chick looks metal as fuck! LMFAO

[diabolicalnumber666]

Den største band noensinne! hagl Grutle Kjellson

[Egenoth]

@diabolicalnumber666 Hva faen er det du tror? "hagl"? Haha, idiot...

[ska2808]

8:52 Well played, Grutle!

[deathblackthrashing]

She's extremeley hot

[tingtongnidnoi]

Oh ,he's so hung over..

[MrMcmikemike]

yes i think it's quite obvious that boys like attractive girls and more so when the emanate the things they love i.e metal.

enough of that philosiphy though enslaved is fucking sick!

[augustopalma]

Wow she's hot and dumb

[CrankItEveryDay]

@augustopalma aren't most women lol?

[bloddyslayer]

No most are ugly and smart.

[mondoraptor]

I was lucky enough to catch these guys in Nashville (of all places) ,and it shattered every expectation I had of live music. So totally awesome Note for Note !

[Dimdez]

She's a bad interviewer XD

[beer4life101]

wot is the song at 0:55

[634589]

sounds similar to 'Convoys to nothingness', but im not sure

[garrett1118]

it's return to yggdrasill on the album ISA

[Mannazify]

Music journos ask the dumbest questions, man. Here is a band with some of the most profound lyrics of any musical genre Mother Earth has ever seen, and she's asking questions like THOSE? You can almost hear the resentment in Kjellson's voice at answering each question.

[ManiacSerialKilleR]

the interviewer is hot!

[satyriconalex]

how is the song called at the very beginning played at the background?

[loekiemano123]

enslaved - isa

[satyriconalex]

tu m8! awesome:)

[coolman4393]

@satyriconalex

Isa

[melodeath793]

ENSLAVED ON SOUTHPARK??? hahahaahahahahahahahaha

[rotteklo]

"Fucking pole"? Is that a dildo?

[XxGeishixX]

lol south park

[dthmetalrox]

i woud tottaly bone that girl

[C0bfan666]

dam ur right lol

[Inpropagation2008]

me's too's

[Inpropagation2008]

me's too's

[DAKMAIN]

@dthmetalrox My girlfriend doesn't bone idiots who can't spell totally. She's some odd form of journalist, believe it or not.

[dthmetalrox]

@DAKMAIN LIES you just wish she was what are you 14

[DAKMAIN]

@dthmetalrox Nah..... I creep around bars looking for moms so i can take them home and offer kids like you the feeling of what it's like to have a father figure that stuck around for breakfast.

[McLeod54]

She's almost got an aussie accent

[hellspawndarkangel]

hardly

[GenocideKommando1]

Totaly agree with you coldacre. They did their shit and stayed away from all the problems with the other BM bands. Respect

[Coldacre]

I lost interest in Enslaved musically around 95, but they are top blokes who are doing it for the right reasons. respect.

[EverGreeNmaX]

what´s the name of the song in 0.50?

[TheInfinityExpress]

Return To Yggdrasil

[EverGreeNmaX]

Thanks dude

[stuckinmiddleearth]

woo! will see you in derby!

[Dimebag08RIP]

Enslaved are awesome and Vertebrae is a masterpiece!

[patatjejoppiesaus]

she has purdy hair

[Coldacre]

she's fit

[bikibaws]

9 albums...

[Skoojoo]

Enslaved is one of the greatest (prog/metal) bands... Ivar and Grutle are really cool guys

It is funny watching the interviewer... she must have gotten a bit of a workout trying to decide whether Grutle was done or not...

[StatuesBleedingGreen]

Seems like a really cool guy

[DethmetalUSA]

Enslaved was on South Park...damn i missed it

[octavarium008]

oh shit, really?!! do you remember what episode?

[A7XLicksMyNuts]

That was a joke actually.

[cartoonboy8]

Shut up you mother fucking Christian nobody cared about god and jesus on the internet dude...

[detsomengang]

Yeah lorenzo, he is such a faggot. I guess he is the one who gave me all the thumbs down...lol! But idc..

[douk234]

This is a great band!

[666beneath]

They are (as i call it) "healthy" musicians. Their music is not plastic ^_^

[petrseky]

reknete mi nejaky cecho,o cem se keca v tomhletom clanku,dik...

[frostik0009]

Ze to nemaji zas tak lechky kdyz jezdijou po koncertech ale ze je maji radi. Ze posledni dobou byvaji nominovani po neco jako Grammy v Norsku a ze je to proto ze uz se o ne zacaly aji media dost zajimat, ze se to neda jen tak ignorovat. Pak se ho pta jestli nechcou vydat nejakou knizku a on odpovida ze by stejne takovou blbost necetla.

[frostik0009]

Ze jim hudba nevydelava tolik na zivobyti. Pak Grutle rika ze byl pro ne zazitek kdyz hrali v Indii, ze tam bylo hodne lidi. Pak neco nedulezityho se Southparkem :-)

[dubasher]

Hello!  Buy a BOOM MIC ! Ridiculous.

[deathprimate888]

Tour Life Crappy? Five Star Hotel? No Showers? I doubt real Vikings would whine about stuff like that... Is everyone becoming a sissy now?

[Imbamorial]

the problem is that you can't sleep as much as you need and you don't get the energy. have you seen a really bad live act that you know are good othertimes? if you check the tour dates some of them might have been in a hectic stage.

i don't say it is this way but many artists say the same thing.

it's up to the individual.

[EclipseInParadise]

Have you ever been on tour? If you had you'd agree with him! ;-)

[Galwanzie]

Enslaved har Sykt mange bra sanger, Havenless er fortsatt min favoritt.... YEAH!

[Symplol]

enig. havenless!!

[pedroazevedo1]

Of course they have to come to Portugal! Why wouldn't they? :)

[skullvomit666]

I hate seeing the Black Metal bands I grew up with in the early 90's turning into rock stars now and getting mainstream coverage like this, man it sucks.

"THE HOTTEST METAL INTERVIEWS"...what a friggin joke.

[Headbanger367]

they are all mainstreem, but nowadays is as real as you can get...thats how it is...all times are just a shadow

[WilliamFoul]

Han synes er et veldig hyggelig person, skulle ønske jeg kunne turne med dem!

[Simpson654]

Grutle is drunk, and the bitch interviewing him his stupid. I liked the stuff Enslaved did back in the 90s, but I like very few of newer album songs. Vikingligr Veldi is still my favorite.

[Stratophony]

pretty good interview, even though it gets really ackward when they start talking about that book.

[WilliamFoulFiend]

Jeg ønsker det de ville reise inne det U.S. snart , bortsett fra selv om de did de ville komme alle var like ved meg.

[strupern07]

lol? speaking norwegian with google translate?:P that was bad norwegian:D

[Atern0x]

Who cares?

It looks badass! ;o

[siijolien]

at 51 sec what song and album is that?

[CountryJusticeJ]

"Return to Yggdrasill" off of "Isa"

[siijolien]

what is the album the first song is on?

[skog66]

ISA i think...

[CountryJusticeJ]

it is the title track from Isa

[greatmustis]

esa wera ta rica¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[FrostGrimm]

cool guy, i was standing right next to him on a festival.

I was like.. what i'm i gonna say!!?? i just wanted to talk to him, get aoutographs or something, but i just didn't know what to say:P

[perterlein0815]

He isn't really cool. Very shy, full of neurosis.

[SlapphePikkur]

that will be easy to me. i'm not kidding now, im deadly serious. tom cato, who plays guitar in enslaved is a music and gym teacher at kjøkkelvik high school in norway. he's my class's music teacher, but right now he's on a tour. when i learned this, i nearly freaked out.

[FrostGrimm]

hen faen er kjøkklevik? :P og visste du ikkje at han var i enslaved fra før av eller?

[SlapphePikkur]

nei, men jeg har hørt drittmye på enslaved. fikk vite for et halvt år siden at vi skulle ha tom cato som musikklærer. hørte han var en heavymetal fyr. jeg googlet navnet hans, og fant at han spiller i sahg, og enslaved, og king of hell. kjøkkelvik er en ungdomsskole i bergen.

[FrostGrimm]

kult;)

[ShetlandsLarsen]

Eh... spiller ikke Tom Cato i Gorgoroth?

[skog66]

Not that cato...Cato bekkevold, their drummer.

[java0505]

Enslaved er konge!

[ihab1000]

that chicks banging :)

[wiggmortem]

Enslaved make me want to masturbate and/or steal sheep.

[Bl4ckPantera]

Hah, Enslaved in Southpark wouldn't fit actually. Since they called Slayer Death metal. But it would be cool since alot of people watch it and they get to know what real music is. :D

[Lordbutcher93]

indeed

[Noobcake666]

the lady is kind of hot!

[geganobo]

hail enslaved

[obiestyx]

Hahaha! At 8.52 Grutle gives a sly glance at her cleavage... haha!

[geganobo]

XD lol

[BlackMetalHeart99]

Rofl nice pick up on that

[Vreidir]

Hahah, funny!

[ska2808]

Haha, well he's only human.

[apxeli]

I would check the same thing. And I would love to fuck a British girl. :P

[Valekuollut]

music teacher, I suppose

[BrynhildrEHG]

Hahaha, this was amusing.

Enslaved are excellent live.. excellent period.

[Haereticar]

Funny how candy didnt know when she had to hold the microphone in front of grutles mouth..xD

[Murderermarv]

Her name is rene.

[zavaira]

hehe. the synth guy was a teatcher at my old school. Enslaved are kings!

[BarnacleEd]

I would kill to see these guys live.

and/or get the chick too.

[GRIMSTORMS]

contraband candy is even hotter because of her accent

[sorooshusa]

Chick is fucking HOT x1000 but whats up with the retarted hand movement?

[iiron2maiden]

WTF they don;t make alot of money?!?!?!? but this guys rock

[styxd9]

This bitch is hot, but she needs to shut her mouth or ask better questions.

[Matara]

Stupid questions.Great band.

[dougydarkangel]

Enslaved are one of the most original black metal bands, id like to see mayhem or gorgoroth use an acoustic guitar! haha

[FrostGrimm]

Enslaved aren't black metal, they have said it them self.

[fftl36cfafi]

haha i dont think theyd even consider using an acoustic guitar ever. go to king and say "hey, why dont you use an acoustic guitar next album" and im pretty sure he'll tell you where to shove your acoustic guitar.

[Sundog79]

ugh, grandfather's guitars...

[GrimNightmare12]

Enslaved is awesome.

[deadandstilldying606]

hahahahah the british support Enslaved more then the Norwegians lol

[rainysquirel]

if you hate naruto anime or AMVS and like metal you should join my group. it's called AMVS SUCK and METAL

[deadandstilldying606]

well i'm not interested in joining, but as a kid i use to watch all that anime/manga shit, and i really hate it when people mix it with metal,spashley Black Metal..

there two very different things on opsite sides of the globe..

[rainysquirel]

join anyways :) I need more people that like metal from nowadays because pretty much everyone loves 80s and only 80s metal in mine... exept some guy likes opeth

[rainysquirel]

what does ruun mean? is it something norse or is it RUUN MOTHER FUCKER! THEY'LL CUT YOUR HEAD OFF!

[Nekron19]

lol, I doubt it's your second option, but that was funny I'll give you that :)

[AeacusCanti]

Ruun, like Rune. Runes like mysticism.

[MaliceDren]

Man, I cant believe how amazing of a band enslaved is. They are so far beyond most metal out there its unbelievable. Whew...just had to let that out.

[fa272]

He seems a little bit uneasy in this interview..despite that Enslaved is an awesome band!

[orre666]

is he and shagrath brothers? they talk the same and the are very like, and move the same.

[rainysquirel]

no... shagrath is a douche muncher and this guy has talent

[CrYsT4LCl4wS]

Come on, Shagrath is not that bad (I prefer Enslaved to Dimmu Borgir, no doubt, but...)

[rainysquirel]

I love dimmus music... but waaahahay too nazi,racist,anti christian for my taste... I mean shagrath is like a non pussy marylin manson. they're a good band I'll give you that.

[ska2808]

Anti-Christian maybe, but Nazi/racist? No.

That implies superiority and inferiority. What Dimmu talk about in their songs is the abolition of the human race entirely and the force of nature prevailing. So in a sense, yes, they are racist. Anti-human.

Even still, though, I think that's just the band's image and their lyrics are written from an alter-personality than the members themselves. Kind of like bands like Cannibal Corpse don't necessarily condone wound-sex.

[churchofruss]

misanthrophy & racisim are 2 different things.

[rainysquirel]

I liked it when he stole a sheep that was just hilarious... WE HAVE A WINNER

[AkumA05]

NORSEMEN ARISE!!!!

[HeathenPride9999]

He's an old guy and he likes the heat = P

[rainysquirel]

how old is he? 30 40 ?

[deadandstilldying606]

his late 30's

[jonathonhughes]

Well @ the moment i'm a projectionist in Luton but i get the minimun wage but in London you get paid BIG TIME for it, So i'm trying to move to London to do it full-time cause it's something I LOVE doing and i want to make a carrer of it.Transformers F-KING RULED by the way but to each his own i guess..

[jonathonhughes]

I know that, I 'm just saying that it's kool How dedicated she is to the buisness.She even did a documentry about something that she loved @ 22 years of age, I'm 22 and can't see myself filming a documentry any time soon. Mine would be about Films that have been under-rated or Overlooked by the public. Films that didn't get the recognition it deserved this year like ' Shoot em' up' or 'Die Hard 4' and of course 'Transformers'

[Dungarth]

haha fair enough, even though those films were terrible.

Also it isn't really hard to be dedicated to something you love.

[jonathonhughes]

Okay i have a question, When does the Rene Ackermann express stop to take a break? I'm serious,It's Murder Music,THEN Download, THEN Metal Hammer Awards, THEN Rockworld T.V Radio,THEN Gallhammer, THEN Enslaved. I Swear, I could shoot a rocket launcher at this woman and she'd still be standing. But i have to give her credit, She's a hard worker and if i was to start myown rock music channel, After i put Jonny H's name down 1st Rene's name would be next. Sweet Interview.

[Dungarth]

they weren't done all at once you know, this is in the space of weeks/months.

[deadandstilldying606]

another professional interview Rene!!

and looking gorgeous as always!!

5 stars!
