MetalKult.com has issued the following:

"On November 8th, 2007, when Norwegian progressive black metal group ENSLAVED came through New York City to play BB Kings Blues Club in support of their 2006 full-length, Ruun, MetalKult invited guitarist Ivar Bjørnson and bassist/vocalist Grutle Kjellson to stop by our Manhattan headquarters for a little Q&A; action.

The two founding members accepted and in the resulting interview, Bjørnson and Kjellson discuss their roots in Norway’s notorious Nineties black metal scene, their reverence of Seventies prog and modern noise rock, and why they have abandoned the “viking metal” moniker. Oh and the two also shed some light on their recent “sheep downloading” incident.

NOTE: Due to a malfunction in Bjørnson’s mic, some of his comments are distorted. We apologize for the less-than-pristine quality, but felt his comments were too insightful to omit."
