Brisinghamen

[Tekst: Grutle Kjellson] Einsam ho gret, den vakraste av alle Fanga og låst i ei sorg ingen skjøner Gleden forsvann langt, langt der ute. Ei brennande lyst, en ingen håp. Ho lengtar heim, men finn ingen veg. Ein sorgfull lagnad gøymt bak eit smil. Mardol du fagre for fred du blei ofra Du solgte din lekam, men fann ingen trøyst. Det som glimrar gjer ikkje fred for deg Gern du ga deg hen, og slokka…

"I had to take a ferry home from my work", recalls Grutle of Enslaved, a close friend. "On the bay I remember seeing my girlfriend, my parents, her parents, waiting for me and I thought, 'Oh, something is wrong, something is badly wrong.' Everyone gave me a hug and I said, 'Alright, what's up?' and my ex, I remember she was crying and she said, ' Øystein has been killed.' And I knew it was him [Varg], right away I knew it "

ENSLAVED SHOOT VIDEO IN ICELAND

After having returned to the studio, ENSLAVED now tease their fans with new pictures from a breath-taking video shoot that frontman Grutle Kjellson undertook this January, around the south coast of Iceland and Reykjanes.

Grutle Kjellson on the video shoot in Iceland: "Having the time of my life on the Saga Island. Working with some of the most talented people I have ever met, and in surroundings that would make every human totally speechless. Shooting a music video here seems like an easy task, as ENSLAVED and Iceland are truely meant for each other. Alu Alu Laukar!!"

For the new clip, Grutle spent five days in Iceland - together with video producer Gaui H from Gaui H Pic, his production assistant Marita Joensen and the actors Striga and Kolbeinn.

A few months ago, ENSLAVED re-signed to Nuclear Blast and released a stunning new music video for their interpretation of ‘What Else Is There’ by Norwegian electropop band RÖYSKOPP. The song is featured as a bonus track on the digital version of their latest album, E. Watch and listen here: https://youtu.be/7_3WnNAJDRM

14 albums and 28 years into a career that shows no signs of losing neither momentum nor its magical, effervescent creative sheen, ENSLAVED will certainly continue evolving before our ears and eyes. This time, however, even the sky is no limit. Stronger than ever and manifestly thrilled to be in such rude health, life in ENSLAVED has never been more rewarding. And the best is yet to come.

Wednesday, July 26: Enslaved, “Building with Fire”

In Times was an ironic title for Enslaved’s 12th album, since it felt more like the scene had come around to the band’s particular blend of Viking themes and textures and black metal rather than the other way around.  Nonetheless, Grutle Kjellson and Ivar Bjørnson had come a long way from the days of releasing split EPs with Emperor, and In Times tracks like “Building with Fire” showed their growth: the song was epic in length, but mostly rode a consistent groove and only sparingly added death metal growling, opting for clean singing throughout much of the running time.  But even if the tune bore little resemblance to Enslaved’s ‘90s material, it was consistent with their evolution over the past 15 or so years and stayed true to their general ethos.  By this point, Enslaved had earned their confidence and stature, and “Building with Fire” was a nice culmination of their recent work.

Muitte Mu - Remember me

This is not Wow related, but I seriously want to make this post about my definite favourite show on Norwegian television this year.

The show Muitte mu, which means remember me, focuses on the indigenous people of Norway, Sweden, Finland and part of Russia, the Sami people.

The show pays tribute to the sami tradition of joik, which is not singing per se, but a melodic reflection of a place or a person. 

more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joik

In the show we meet six Norwegian artist who have been invited to make a Joik that will be performed for the person they chose and a gathering of Sami people.

 Each artist is under guidance by a professional Sami Joik artist.

I do not own any of these videos or anything connected to the production of the show.

[...] most who met him report that Euronymous was a generally social and friendly individual, an enthusiastic music fan who loved to talk about his passion and enjoyed dealing with others. He certainly had a lot of friends, to whom he reportedly acted with generosity and kindness. One example was Grutle Kjellson and Ivar Bjørnson, founders of Enslaved, whom he not only signed to his label Deathlike Silence but also mentored in their early years. Despite the fact that their interests openly lay with the traditional Nordic Gods rather than Satanism, both men say that Euronymous was only ever supportive and never attempted to preach any Satanic ideas to them. Grutle Kjellson says: “We told him about our concept and he said, ‘Yeah, someone should do that, that’s cool, to preserve the culture. I’m not into those things, but go ahead.’” Adds Ivar Bjørnson, “The thing we spent the most time talking about was musical theory. When he came to visit our hometown—which is a key moment in Enslaved history—he brought his guitar. We had been listening so much to [Mayhem’s] De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas tapes, the rough mixes without vocals. He had his guitar, and I had my guitar, and I could just ask him, ‘How do you do that riff?’ and he would explain it. He would give me a call and tell me that him and the guy from Thorns [Snorre Ruch] had developed this theory on how to record, it was just about sharing that stuff. My guitar style is still seventy or eighty percent those moments, you know, being fourteen years old.” [...] “Euronymous was probably the most extreme guy I ever met,” says Grutle, “he hated Nazism, ’cos he thought communism was much worse. He watched weird movies, he was very misanthropic, but still, he was one of the most friendly people I ever met.” “What he was advocating very strongly was seriousness in the music,” adds Ivar, “and I think that explains the contradiction with how he was when people met him, to how he was in the media. I think he believed in it on some level, but I think it’s possible to want the world to burn and see everything stop, and then go home and wish the best for yourself, your family, your kids. I think it’s possible to have those two thoughts in your head at the same time. A lot of writers are fascinated with the ‘double life,’ a lot of writers write very extreme books and the thoughts the main characters have, these thoughts have to come from somewhere. Are you a homicidal maniac or sexual deviant yourself? A lot of people claim that everyone has these secret double lives to some extent and I think the only difference in the black metal scene was that these people chose to vocalize that double life.”
