Earlier on this week I purchased a copy of the heralded PROG an English magazine and a staple of modern prog literature. Upon purchasing said magazine, I had discovered that Enslaved were featured on the month’s demo disc for their song “Thurisaz Dreaming” and thought to myself I bet Nuclear Blast release the new song this week sometime…
Lo and behold, I seemed to be right in my assumption. Nuclear Blast decided to unleash this progressive black metal beast right before the week was out. The first true taster of new material from Norway’s Enslaved is setting In Times up to be their best yet. Their thirteenth studio album is set to be one of their most adventurous yet. Beginning as a pure black metal, over time the band have adopted vocabulary synonymous with the progressive genre. “Thurisaz Dreaming” isn’t a departure back to the bands old roots if that was what you were hoping for but instead a confident leap into the new era of Enslaved. Mysteriously fading out before the song ends the video has been edited . The album track will be eight minutes long, the lyric video is only five. A fitting element of mystery behind the new single…
Listen to the track and below and see what you think of the brand new song.
