ENSLAVED: 'Vertebrae' Cracks Norwegian Top 20

October 7, 2008

"Vertebrae", the new album from Norwegian masters of progressive/experimental metal ENSLAVED, has entered the national chart in the band's home country at position No. 20.

"Vertebrae" was released in Europe on September 29 via Indie Recordings and will be made available in North America on October 28 through Nuclear Blast Records (via a licensing arrangement with Indie Recordings).

"Vertebrae" was recorded during the first months of 2008 — then mixed by Joe Barresi (TOOL, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE) and mastered by the legendary George Marino in Sterling Sound. Produced by Ivar Bjørnson, Herbrand Larsen and Grutle Kjellson, "Vertebrae" is "one of the strongest albums to emerge from the extreme metal scene," according to a press release. "The sound, songs and atmosphere mark a great leap for the band and genre as a whole."

The album will be supported by extensive touring starting with the the "Vertebrae European Tour" in November/December 2008 also featuring STONEGARD and KRAKOW.

A new audio interview with ENSLAVED has been posted at Metalhead.ro.
