Enslaved, nytt album

av yngve

UnnamedJa, jeg vet, dette har allerede florert på nett, men her skal det meste ut, og det tar tid.

Uansett er det bøtter av tid til skiveslippet, bergensernes kommende album er ikke i sjappene før 6. mars. Dette er bandet trettende studioalbum, og coveret på In Times er håndmalt av Truls Espedal.

Ivar Bjørnson forteller dette i et presseskriv: "I was so deep into the songs and ideas for such a long time (or have my head so far up my own a**, if you prefer more direct language) that it is hard to have any opinions about them that is anything else than the high-flying mumbo-jumbo of the introvert song-smith. The songs are extensions of my inner and outer life, the thoughts I am aware of having, as well as those that lie too deep to register in everyday consciousness.

The songs are the resounds of grandiose altered states and mundane tiny micro-events. In addition, they are, of course, also the result of inspiration from other music and art. I do think this new album is the most consistent body of work we have so far: It incorporates our blacker past with our influences from prog rock, our present sense of absolute freedom, and the joy of being in this band, if that makes any sense… Ha, ha, ha. It is higher in energy, more aggressive, yet more beautiful and subtle. It simply sounds inspired."
