Enslaved: A tribute to the riff and the rite.

Norwegian prog metallers Enslaved have released a conceptual video for their brand new single Kingdom, and this is a standalone single, and currently the band have news about a new album! The new video is Kingdom and seems to follow that approach, mixing the band’s metal, prog and other musical influences. I really enjoy 2022 version of Enslaved.

Enslaved did release the Caravans To The Outer World EP last October, and re-worked Bound By Allegiance, originally from the band’s 2004 album Isa, with psychedelic Norwegian proggers Shaman Elephant earlier this year, all of which have built on the more experimental approach taken by the band on 2020’s Utgard.

«Kingdom – a tribute to the endurance of ideas and the people that carry them forward through hardship and fatigue, for the benefit of us all», says guitarist Ivar Bjørnson. The track Bounded By Allegiance,

«Musically, it is a tribute to the riff and the rite: to the Teutonic thrash kings, to space rock, to the ambient pioneers of the 70s. With this we ask you to join us on this coming trek. Thanks for listening!». The band describe them as, «avant-garde extreme metal with a progressive edge».
