ENSLAVED Enter Norwegian National Charts
October 8, 2008, 16 years ago
Norwegian metallers ENSLAVED have entered the National Chart in their home country at #20 with their new album, Vertebrae.
Vertebrae was released in Europe on September 29th through Indie Recordings. An E-card for the album, due out through Nuclear Blast Records on October 28th for the North American territory, can be found here.
Recorded in the first quarter of 2008, mixed by Evil Joe Barresi (TOOL, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE), mastered by the legendary George Marino (METALLICA, IRON MAIDEN, LED ZEPPLIN) at Sterling Sound, Vertebrae was produced by Ivar Bjørnson, Herbrand Larsen, and Grutle Kjellsonthemselves. Considered by all band members to be their strongest album in the seventeen years of their existence, Vertebrae’s sound, songs, seasoned guitar tone and time-travelling solos, and overall atmosphere marks a crowning achievement for the band and the genre as a whole.
Seasoned performers, Enslaved will be embarking on a European tour of 41 shows in support of Vertebrae that will launch in early November in Copenhagen, Denmark and end in late December in Bergen, Norway.
A tour for the US is in the works and more details will be revealed soon.
Vertebrae tracklist: 'Clouds', 'To The Coast', 'Ground', 'Vertebrae', 'New Dawn', 'Relections', 'Center', 'The Watcher'.
