Germany's Metal Hammer recently conducted an interview with Ivar Bjornson (guitar, keys) and Grutle Kjellson (bass, vocals) of ENSLAVED.
In this video interview, the guys talk about being on tour, being featured in the New York Times, differences between touring in the USA and Europe, that the situation for touring bands sometimes is worse in the US than in the Ukraine or Russia, and much more.
Check out the interview at this location.
As previously reported, the recent Norwegian Grammy winners will be direct support for OPETH on their upcoming North American tour. The 23-show stint will launch on May 1st on Sayreville, New Jersey and end on May 27th in Washington, D.C.
Bjørnson comments: "I am stoked that we are going out with Opeth. We have been admirers of Opeth's work for years, specially the direction of their newer works. This is great news for us to take back to our loyal fans and friends in North America at this point; the reception for our newest album Vertebrae has been fantastic and unforgettable. We can't wait to present the songs live; we promise you won't be let down! Finally, we wish to express our sincere gratitude to Opeth for giving us this opportunity."
