ENSLAVED: New Album Title, Release Date To Be Revealed Tomorrow

July 14, 2010

Norwegian psychedelic post-black metal band ENSLAVED will reveal the title and release date of its new album on the group's MySpace page on Thursday, July 15 at 12:00 CET.

ENSLAVED's eleventh studio album was recorded at three different studios in Bergen, Norway: 1) Duper; 2) Earshot (belonging to ENSLAVED members Herbrand Larsen [keyboardist/backing vocalist] and Ice Dale [lead guitarist]); and 3) Peersonal Sound (owned by rhythm guitarist/songwriter Ivar Bjørnson). It is the follow-up to 2008's "Vertebrae", which sold over 1,100 copies its first week of release in North America and debuted on the American Billboard Hard Music chart at #11 and on the Billboard Heatseekers chart at #49. In ENSLAVED's native country, "Vertebrae" entered the official chart at #20 and earned the band its third consecutive Spellemann award (the largest and oldest Norwegian music awards show, which is often referred to as the country's equivalent to the American Grammy Awards). "Vertebrae" also won Terrorizer magazine's coveted "Album of the Year" award for 2008.

Imhotep's Paul Kearns recently conducted an interview with ENSLAVED guitarist/songwriter Ivar Bjørnson. Watch the chat below.

ENSLAVED will embark on the "Circling Above and Within Tour" of Europe in October.
