ENSLAVED: In Recording Mode

Norwegian extreme metallers ENSLAVED are currently at Amper Studio recording the follow-up to their Norwegian Grammy- and Alarm award-winning album "Isa" (2004). Despite "some misplaced amps, stolen guitars and a small fire," everything is going "smoothly" in the studio, according to a press release. A May release via Tabu is expected.

ENSLAVED will take some time off in early February to head up to the city of the northern lights, Tromsø, to headline By:Larm, Norway's answer to SXSW (South by Southwest). They will be playing two gigs, and audience and press can catch them on February 9 and February 10. They will also play a gig in their hometown of Bergen on March 24 at Club Bizarre.

ENSLAVED will be teming up with KHOLD and VREID for a European tour in the fall. More information will be made available soon.
