Enslaved are masters of Norwegian black/Viking metal who have, since the early '90s, consistently employed a forward-thinking approach to their craft while retaining their extreme roots. They offer a vastly more complex compositional style and reject the term "black metal" as limiting. With its warm production and clean vocals, 1997's Eld was followed by releases like 2003's Below the Lights, which explored emotional and psychological states with myriad instruments. 2015's In Times peaked at four on the Heatseekers chart, while 2017's E won Norway's Spellemannprisen. 2023's Heimdal peaked at six in the U.K.
Members of Enslaved include, or have included, Ivar Bjørnson, Grutle Kjellson, Cato Bekkevold, and Herbrand Larsen.
