Asking yourself that question in regards to an Enslaved album is like asking why we need all five of our major organs-It's pointless because the answer is obvious. I do not know who the hell they?? That all happens in the first two minutes. The intro to "Thoughts Like Hammers" comes out of nowhere — three seconds in and we're bludgeoned by decibel-damaging feedback, chaotic chord voicings and stuttering blast beats. It would take me a month to write a review like this and it still would suck in comparison. Enter Enslaved's 12th album: We now find ourselves in , a year that is thought by many idiots, geniuses, call them what you will to be the end of the world.

In particular the dominating force of Kjellson's bass work provides 'Storm of Memories' with a doomy yet Rock 'n' Roll influenced sound to the overall song. Asagraum - Dawn of Infinite Fire. As the clean and harsh vocals of both Kjellson and Larsen complement each other in as boog a way riotiir ABBA did in the seventies, their voices both contribute to the nature of the lyrics.
The guitars kick in and Larsen spits some raw philosophy, and for a minute, it genuinely seems like the song is in its final stretch. The song develops some of the spoken ideas enslavex the opener, using throaty semi-whispers to top a bouncingly proggy guitar line during the bridge before Larsen takes over for the pre-chorus and chorus.

Tarja Turunen In The Raw. If any of the bands mentioned here excite you, or you are into atmospheric progressive metal in general, this will definitely be an album to watch out for.

This idea is continued on the much more melodic yet similarly stunning 'Veilburner', a song that almost takes you on a journey as both Larsen and Kjellson pass the honour to each other in exchanging both blgo, guttural and hypnotic, dream-like vocal styles. Death in the Eyes of Dawn Throughout, Enslaved bask in their own indulgences and put them to good use, leaving no avenue in ruitiir songs unexplored or underdeveloped.

But then the song goes through several transformations: Fans will have their favorites throughout the catalog — that goes with the territory — but Riitiir makes a grand statement that Enslaved continue their relentless evolution and remain one of the most pivotal acts of any metallic subgenre, whichever one or seven you might want to lump them into.
Storm of Memories You are hypnotized by its repetitive keyboard and synthesiser effects, helped to be all the more consistent thanks to heavy yet concise guitar work that could easily give anyone a thumping headache, yet just as you are about to expect more of the same, Kjellson arrives with his horribly harsh vocals and sounds like a demon as he rips through the song, itself changing and meandering all the way to a point where you wonder if you're even on the same album.
Given what Enslaved have so far done on Riitiirit would just about have to be. Enslafed would take me a month to write a review like this and it enalaved would suck in comparison.

Enslaved – RIITIIR
Say that I'm being too fanboyish, or that it's hugely ruitiir, or even that it's being reviewed too soon. A mean groove turns into a pumping Angus Young riff, which then sneaks into a syncopated, King Crimson -y organ. With a multitude of musically successful albums under their belt, 'Riitiir' does not appear that significant-Yet it is still a masterful work in its own right.

Roots of the Mountain The intro to "Thoughts Like Hammers" comes out of nowhere — three seconds in and we're bludgeoned by decibel-damaging feedback, chaotic chord voicings and stuttering blast riiitiir. The ugliness of the harsh vocals accentuate the eerie atmosphere put forth by the other instruments, and they also provide a great contrast to the smooth, soothing clean vocals.
RIITIIR is at least competitive with its peers, and perhaps one of the most enjoyable, unique experiences of the year. The bass and drums generally act as a shadow of each other, yet the way in which they are presented in each song suggests that there is focus to be found on these instruments as well as the enslavdd and keyboards.
