Enslaved - E

Quote:
We are more than happy to announce the release of our epic new studio album for October 13th, 2017! This 14th full-length album sets our music free from genre boundaries and offers an unprecedented mix of prog, extreme metal and shoegaze on 8 tracks with a playing time of more than an hour. Titled »E«, the album was once again written by the unholy alliance of Ivar Bjørnson (music, lyrics) and Grutle Kjellson (lyrics) and marks the introduction of our new keyboard master and clean vocalist Håkon Vinje.
Interesting that the previous keyboardist/clean vocalist Ivar Bjørnson seems to have been replaced - I thought his vocals on 2015's In Times were great. I'd even go so far as to say In Times is my 5th favourite Enslaved album, so I've got high hopes for this one.

Edit - I'm an idiot and didn't even read the quote I put up - looks like Ivar is still part of the band.

I just heard the new song off the album "Storm Son" and it is... interesting. This album definitely signifies a bit of a genre shift, leaning more towards their progressive rock influences. It's not necessarily a bad thing, they've kind of been riding the wave started with their 2010 album Axioma Ethica Odini, but their two follow-ups since that haven't topped it.

I just hope they don't go full Opeth from here on out and make mediocre prog albums.

Foo Fighters - Concrete and Gold (September 15)

Prophets of Rage - Prophets of Rage (September 15)

Rage against the Machine, Public Enemy and Cyrpus Hill supergroup. I'm all in for that.

You heard what they've released so far? It's the most uninspired combination of them that they could muster.

It's really a lot worse than it sounds.

No then I went and looked it up based off of you saying that and I wish I would have went into it cold turkey. I'm still going to listen to the full album when it gets released but it is a bit underwhelming. I did like unfuck the world though. I have a feeling that the full album will be hit or miss.

It's like Chuck D, DJ Lord, and B Real decided to make a RATM cover band but thought that Zach De La Rocha was too whack to imitate.

I was thinking the same thing. What are your favourite Enslaved albums? My top 5:
Below the Lights > Mardraum > Isa > Axioma > In Times
For me Below the Lights and Mardraum are the best by far, all the others I change my opinion about from time to time.

Pretty similar to yours, just move Axioma up one, and Isa down one and replace it with Ruun.

Below the Lights is an incredibly album, and you can really see the band's shift from their more typical black metal/viking roots towards more psychedelic leanings on Mardraum.
