Enslaved managed to release 2 fantastic albums in 1994, and it’s a toss up between which is better. They have surprisingly different sounds to them, but due to Frost’s further foray into Viking Metal, it fills a niche as the best Viking Metal album of 1994.

Frost is an incredibly well-played album especially in the world of Black Metal. Songs are approaching Progressive territory with how many changes they have, and there’s a great variety to the drumming as opposed to some of the other Black Metal of the time. Music is dense and often features acoustic instruments and keys backing the primary Metal ensemble. The acoustic guitars especially do a great job adding some extra melodies and a folky atmosphere.

One real problem here… it’s not really Viking Metal. It’s got the lyrical content and some of that folky feel, but overall, the music here is very much Black Metal. Another problem is the song Yggdrasil, which is an awful slog to get through… the rest of the album is strictly great material.

메탈은 과연 반 '종교' 음악인가? 나는 아니라고 생각한다. 물론 메탈을 이루는 본질 중에는 반 '기독교'는 있을지라도 과연 반 기독교를 넘어서 모든 종교를 비난하는 반 종교의 속성이 있냐는 생각을 얼마전부터 하기 시작했는데, 바로 기독교라는 기존의 신격화된 권위를 까내리는 과정... Read More

Bathory이후로 바이킹적인 냄새가 짙었던 Enslaved 의 2집 입니다.바이킹블랙?하면 바쏘리 이후로 후배 밴드들에서 많은걸 물려줬던 스타일을 고스란이 계승?한 느낌이 상당히 강하며,Trym Torson->Emperor 의 드러머 도 재직?했던 시절에 나온 90년대 초반에 나온 바이킹 블랙이며,전형적인 템포체... Read More

2집과 비교해서 속도가 쫌 타이트하게 빨라졌다는 것 빼고는 전체적으로 무난한 흐름이 인상적이었던 Enslaved 의 3집 입니다.90년대 후반에 바이킹 블랙앨범 중에서 어느정도 완성도가 높았고,완급조절 이 적절하게 흐름을 짜임새 있게 이어주고 있는 바이킹 블랙메틀 앨범 입니다.끊어지면... Read More
