Album Notes & Community Reviews

Enslaved continues their progression from black metal roots to progressive rock grandeur on 'RIITIIR'. The songs are epic in scope, featuring complex structures, clean vocals, and Mellotron keyboards alongside harsh screams. It is a dense and philosophical record that weaves Norse mythology with existential themes.
