We Interrupt this Review Corner for a Eulogy
RIP ENSLAVED
They Entered This World As They Should Have Left It: Kicking and Screaming
No longer shall we be blessed by the pitter patter of ****ing metal, no longer shall we enjoy the long nights being kept up by the unholy wail. On September 29th Enslaved was involved in an unfortunate accident, the release of their new album. The utter terrible nature of the album killed the band as Isa and Ruun had nearly threatened to. Not even a course of antimardraumbiotics would save the band from their untimely death. While we must mourn their passing there must be some good to come from this, I have yet to find it, but at least we can still enjoy their music from 2003 and earlier, and boy it was some fine music. From the early demos to the first true EP release Hordanes Land all the way to Below the Lights they released gems aplenty, but now that has been silenced forever.
That the band that created the epic “Større Enn Tid, Tyngre Enn Natt” will no longer be able to gift the world with such beauty is the true tragedy here.
Enslaved, dead to my world, alive and well in their wallets.
