Frost

This is Enslaved's third release counting Hordanes Land and Vikingligr Veldi, and it's a lot better. Good material and recording plus good production. The only thing that’s missing is that little extra that just a few bands got, else it's very good. They are still playing their fast Viking metal style and a couple of tracks are really sweating out. Over all this is a very good album but that little extra is missing. Too bad.

The Kings of viking metal is back after a long time and now the competition has hardened. This album starts with a 16 min. long song with some great viking feeling. The album reminds much of "Frost", but it has better material and production. They are also using more normal vocals then before, which I like alot, more of that guys! The music is still fast as a few others and very brutal at parts, but I like the slower stuff with feeling better. The atmosphere is superb in several parts of the album, but it's not consistent. A total playing time of over 58 min. gives you an idea of the length of the songs (7 songs). One thing annoys me. The drumms sounds like a fucking bread basket, not good at all.
