ENSLAVED Guitarist To Guest On Norwegian TV

June 12, 2006

ENSLAVED guitarist Ivar Bjørnson will be a featured guest on the "God Morgen Norge" program on the Norwegian TV channel TV2 on Friday, June 16. The appearance is scheduled for 07:45 in the morning.

ENSLAVED's music will feature in director's Victor Sjöström's silent short film "Terje Vigen", based on a poem by Henrik Ibsen at the Grimstad Short Film Festival, scheduled to take place June 15-20. Grimstad is, in fact, where Ibsen himself moved to in order to work as an apprentice pharmacist after he left his parents' home at the age of 15 (we're talking 1843). The Norwegian playwright who is second only to Shakespeare on a worldwide scale, wrote the poem "Terje Vigen" in 1862.

As previously reported, ENSLAVED have posted the video for their track "Path to Vanir" at this location. The song comes off the Norwegian extreme metallers' latest CD, "Ruun", which was released in the U.S. on May 2 via Candlelight Records. "Ruun" was recorded at Amper Studios in Olso and mastered at the Cutting Room in Sweden. The album entered the official U.K. Indie chart at No. 38 last week.

Candlelight will release a limited edition two-LP version of "Ruun" on June 27. Limited to 500 copies for direct U.S. distribution, it is sure to be a highly collectable piece for fans. The label recently issued "Return to Yggdrasil-Live In Bergen", the band's latest DVD release.
