Hey, remember that time Vince and I were interviewing Grutle Kjellson from Enslaved and Vince accidentally picked up and started to drink Grutle’s beer? Holy shit, that was hilarious. And I think Vince may technically still owe Grutle a beer. I may never be able to think about Enslaved without thinking about that moment again. ANYWAY, [...]

Progressive/psychedelic Norwegian black metallers ENSLAVED recently entered the studio to begin recording their new album for a tentative October release via Nuclear Blast Records.

i came home my honey made me figs poached in honey seaflowers pressed in white parchment crisp white bread and crimson wine a goblet of green glass i slosh it down thirsty my hand stretched towards the table laid in damask the plates and the urns turned in red earth the nymph dressed in black fishing net against these cream walls as year one begins an albino snake is born its red eyes in winter as we sit before her fire two of her creatures collected together but the wine makes me warm so deep inside then afterwards everything we ...

Alas, not a day goes by when the unspoken demise of the Super Furry Animals doesn't return to mind in order that it may cruelly torment round these parts. Head honcho Gruff Rhys has of course been more than accommodating over their absence, lavishing those enslaved in lament with a variety of wide-ranging side and lopsided projects (perhaps most notably last year's superlative Hotel Shampoo  solo effort ). This from SFA bassist Guto Pryce deviates rather more from paths collectively ambled however: a collaborative endeavour alongside Cardiffian Lindsey Leven, Game Love is a nostalgic joy bathed in a shimmering ...

Heaps upon heaps of mellotron combined with heavy prog rock guitars and emotional vocals ensure that this debut by the Norwegian six piece is firmly ensconced in the retro catalogue. This is proggy folk rock at its most haunting and with an eerie cinematic feel in its instrumental passages that would sit well in any psychological horror. The "out in nature" aspect of this album with its extensive use of field recordings works in places but fails in others -- such as in the pot-of-boiling-potatoes of "In the woods". A lot of the music itself is quite reminiscent of the likes ...

Their lo-fi mix of psychedelic melodies and a nostalgic 60's vibe have been winning over fans since February last year after they released their first single 'The Mountain Dogs'. Since then they have recorded the single 'I Am The Rain' at Abbey Road Studios, played with the likes of Tune-yards and Slow Club and their music has been played on Radio1 and BBC 6music. October 2011 saw the release of their EP Noah and the Paper Moon and now 2012 is looking to be quite a big year for Stealing Sheep , the all girl trio from Liverpool, with the ...

It's not exactly surprising in any way whatsoever, but anyhoo: Enslaved has signed a worldwide deal with Nuclear Blast and will be releasing a new album this fall. Their last couple releases, aside from that Scion A/V EP, were handled by Nuclear Blast in North America and abroad via Indie Recordings.

Stormcrow are a now defunct crust/metal band from Oakland whose sole album, Enslaved in Darkness , was recently released by Selfmadegod records. The EP is pretty damn good with some heavy, thrashy tunes that make you want to hit the repeat button over and over. While the production is pretty muddy and the vocals are pushed back in the mix a bit too far, the thing is that this type of sound suits this style of music, and actually enhances, instead of detracts from it. A little bit more polish would have ruined the whole thing.
