A Bloodstock Interview With : Ivar Bjornson (Enslaved)

Releasing their brand new album In Times earlier this year Enslaved embarked on an extensive US tour, working the festival circuit we saw the Norwegians appear at this year’s Bloodstock Festival. After a fantastic set we were able to speak to the theoretical mastermind behind the new album Ivar Bjornson. With our conversationg ranging from such simple things as writing processes of the record to a lot more philosophical and theoretical answers that question the idea of time itself. A fantastic and most importantly enlightening chat from a true gentleman.
