Progressive Viking Metal?!

Posted by on Mon, Feb 11, 2013 at 11:01 AM

(Highline) If the idea of "progressive Viking metal" doesn't intrigue you, stop reading this blurb now, Philistine. If it does, rejoice in the coming of Norway's Enslaved, who've been forging a particularly extravagant, chilling, and smart strain of metal since 1991. Enslaved's sound has evolved into something pretty dang symphonic and prog-rock-like on their 2012 album RIITIIR, but vocalist Grutle Kjellson still sounds like he's gargling Beelzebub's jizz when he sings certain passages, so all is well with the world.
