Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Eld' marks a critical evolutionary point for Enslaved, heavily incorporating ambitious progressive metal structures into their Norse mythology-obsessed Viking metal sound. The album is incredibly epic and complex, balancing energetic black metal aggression with pagan folklore themes and sprawling compositions.
