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. Read more ›› |

I don't think they'd be coming out with a new one so recently after Axioma Ethica Odini... but if they are, BRING IT ON!!!

Written by Auntie Sahar on 25.04.2012 at 22:23 Well, they said they did, so they did. And it wasn't so recent, they even released two EP's in the middle.

If they can drop this album better than "Axioma Ethica Odini" I surely pick the CD from stores and will flaunt about it.

Written by Auntie Sahar on 25.04.2012 at 22:23 Axioma was released in 2010, it's 2012, so 2 years. Their usual pace is exactly like this, so no surprise here.

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.

I really loved Axioma, but after a few listens I think this is better. Hot damn.

I love those catchy clean vocals with awesome guitar in the back ground ... you don't need to slow down to use clean vocals

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

Written by Risto on 29.09.2012 at 18:44 I actually think 'Forsaken' is one of the highlights of the album. Also 'Materal' as far as I know is the right spelling.
