| ENSLAVED OFFER MORE DETAILS ON VISIT TO NORWEGIAN EMBASSY + HOLE IN THE SKY FESTIVAL | 156 dni temu | |||
| Guitarist/songwriter Ivar Bjornson offers a more details on the band’s visit to the Norwegian Embassy in Washington D.C. on May 27th, the day of the last show on their North American tour with Opeth in support of their Billboard-charting album, Vertebrae: “We were very excited about visiting the Norwegian Embassy in Washington D.C. and were heartily welcomed by Ambassador Wegger Chr. Strommen and a large group from the Embassy staff. We were invited to talk about the band’s history, our own efforts in the American music market, and in more general terms about the export of Norwegian music; Metal in particular. The staff’s questions were updated and detailed; it turned out to be a very interesting and fruitful conversation. Later that night, a group of five staff members came to the concert – we know this for a fact, as shouts of ‘Go Norway!’ came from the VIP-section when Grutle [Kjellson, vocalist/bassist] told the audience about the visit from the Embassy. We hope we get to meet them again, and that other foreign stations take on the challenge to get as involved in Norwegian culture abroad as the Norwegians in Washington D.C.” In response to the questions posed online about why Bjornson and Kjellson were looking skyward while at the Embassy: “They were looking up to the balcony as people came out from their offices to check out the ‘death metal’ guys.” The video for "The Watcher" – directed by Norwegian Grammy Award winner Patric Ullaeus (Dimmu Borgir, Keep Of Kalessin, In Flames) – is available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGOHk...

Bergen Metal Fest X) — which is scheduled to take place August 25-29 in Bergen, Norway — have issued the following update: "Hole In The Sky X is closing in fast. We give you the lowdown of the spectacular anniversary concert that is set to close the Friday night proceedings. Hosted by the mighty ENSLAVED. "Formed in the heydays of the Norwegian extreme metal scene, ENSLAVED has been a constant and pioneering force for 18 years. "Their history can be divided into three phases: 1. The early years 1991-1996: closest to the black metal scene, from the EP Hordanes Land to the second album Frost. 2. Middle years 1997-2002: experimental and extremely varied, from third LP Eld to Monumension. 3. Present ENSLAVED 2003-present: a synthesis of the roots and the new elements; ENSLAVED has created a sound and a scene of its own, from Below the Lights to Vertebrae. "The 'A Blaze in the Northern Sky' show will reflect these periods and will have the following setup: PART ONE: Present ENSLAVED - The band will be presenting a cross section of songs from Below The Lights, Isa, Ruun and Vertebrae. PART TWO: Hordanes Land - For the first time in history, the legendary Hordanes Land EP (also released as a split CD with EMPEROR) will be performed in its entirety — with EMPEROR members Samoth (guitar) and Trym (drums), who also played drums for ENSLAVED in this period, as guest musicians. PART THREE: Roots - This final part will feature ENSLAVED performing songs from the formative period, in other words, their influences in the early '90s — featuring the frontmen from the original bands as guest vocalists: L.G. from ENTOMBED, Attila from MAYHEM, and the man himself, Nocturno Culto from DARKTHRONE. Nocturno will also be performing on a world premiere of an exclusive ENSLAVED song written specially for the occasion of celebrating ENSLAVED's extreme roots. This song will be the A-side of a 7" EP strictly limited to 500 copies to be released after the performance; more news on this will follow. The show will be concluded with a grandiose surprise song where all the aforementioned singers will team up with ENSLAVED and ex-EMPEROR drummer Faust to make sure this goes down in history in flames." Commented ENSLAVED's Grutle Kjellson: "This is going to be a night to remember. We are sharing the stage with some artists of great importance to the creation of extreme metal, some people that really made the difference and last but not least; some of our greatest friends. We are deeply honored. And, to fans of the greatest metal festival in the world; let's together give Hole In The Sky the 10th birthday party they deserve." _______________________________________ Now available at the Nuclear Blast America Web Shop (http://store.nuclearblastusa.com/Art... and Nuclear Blast Europe Web Shop (http://www.nuclearblast.de/showShopS..., purchase the limited editions of Vertebrae!

| ENSLAVED - NORWEGIAN EMBASSY STAFFERS ATTEND RECENT SHOW IN D.C. | 168 dni temu | |||
| Kiki Ryan and Jeff Dufour of WashingtonExaminer.com report: You can't say the Norwegian Embassy doesn't take seriously its commitment to supporting the country's art. Even when that art happens to be death metal. On Wednesday night, the Norwegian progressive metal band ENSLAVED played the 9:30 Club, its first show in D.C. And, to the crowd's surprise and delight, there were a group of embassy staffers in the VIP section, getting a shout-out from front man Grutle Kjellson. Anne Myklebust, a cultural adviser at the embassy, said she and four of her colleagues went to see the show. But that wasn't by any means the beginning of their support. She said the embassy helped the band out with funding for its U.S. tour. So "they asked if they could see the embassy," and Wednesday afternoon, the band met with Ambassador Wegger Strommen for an hour.

| ENSLAVED - TEAM UP WITH GIBSON GUITARS! | 201 dni temu | |||
In the world of extreme music, Norways ENSLAVED have always been a force to be reckoned with - and one that will not rest on its laurels: After almost two decades in the game, ENSLAVED have developed and widened their scope of pure dark music, incorporating progressive and atmospheric structures in their brand of Black Metal, giving Pink Floyd a make-over in hell, if you will. To achieve this sound between depth and brutality, Ivar Bjornson (guitar), Grutle Kjellson (bass) and Ice Dale (guitars) have been using GIBSONs for a long time - so long in fact, that’s it’s time to make this partnership official: GIBSON MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS welcomes ENSLAVED to the family! Comments the band: “For any youngster GIBSON is a name held in great reverence; from the point you decide to become a guitarist onwards. When we saw Jimmy Page, Ace Frehley, Euronymous or Slash making magic happen on their GIBSONs, there was no turning back: it had to be a GIBSON. Sure, you could catch us red-handed buying a pair of Levi’s lookalikes to save a buck, but with the guitars and basses there’s no question. We are where we dreamed of being back then, we’re recording albums and travelling the world to play live. Loyalty surely paid off; now we have been admitted into the exclusive tribe of GIBSON endorsed artists. The guitar work and sound is one of ENSLAVED’s most distinctive features – it can only sound like that with GIBSON, as simple as that." ENSLAVED’s latest opus Vertebrae was released in September 2008, the band is currently preparing for the festival season and is currently on tour with Opeth in North America. _______________________________________ _ Purchase Vertebrae at: BUY - NB USA BUY - NB EUROPE BUY - NB MP3 SHOP BUY - eMusic BUY - Napster BUY - Rhapsody BUY - iTunes BUY - Amazon BUY - FYE BUY - Barnes and Noble | ||||

| ENSLAVED GRANT USE OF THEIR TWO NORWEGIAN GRAMMYS TO GARAGE IN BERGEN COME APRIL 1ST | 229 dni temu | |||
| Norway’s ENSLAVED has checked in with the following: "The time has come to do what Bergen artists do: give their Spellemannspriser (Norwegian Grammy Award) to their local pub Garage. And yes, this time we'll be bringing two of them. Last time around, the men's room got a new door knob (pardon the pun); this time we've aimed for the top of the beer taps. The award for Ruun have been marinating on shelves since 2007, waiting for local brew to return to the mentioned taps. Some waiting was added after this year's price for Vertebrae due to the challenges with mounting the bronze harps. We hope everybody with an opportunity takes a trip down to Garage for a double celebration with scandals. Real men and women don't mind firing it up on a Wednesday." ENSLAVED won a Spellemann Award for Best Metal Album in 2008 with their latest offering, Vertebrae, Best Metal Album in 2006 with Ruun, and in 2004 with Isa. Tour dates for ENSLAVED’s upcoming North American trek with Opeth can be viewed online at www.myspace.com/ENSLAVED and at www.ENSLAVED.no.
