ENSLAVED
Utgard NUCLEAR BLAST
Norwegian prog metallers release the album of their career.
There’s no doubt about it, Norway’s Enslaved have been edging ever closer to this moment for more than a few years. Certainly since 2010’s Axioma Ethica Odini, the prog metallers’ sound has been getting ever more experimental, more overtly prog and less obviously black metal. That path has reached a current apotheosis with Utgard. In honesty, one can only marvel at where Enslaved might go from here.
