On their early albums, the lyrics were all in Norwegian, Icelandic and various old Norse dialects. As well, they tended to be more consistently brutal (with ''Frost'' being perhaps their most aggressive album). Their first release (other than the usual demos) was the ''Hordanes Land'' EP - three tracks of very primitive sounding BlackMetal with long (7-13 minutes each) songs and the odd synthesizer accent. It was [[UpdatedReRelease re-released]] a while later as a split with fellow BlackMetal band Music/{{Emperor}}. This more-or-less set the tone for their early albums - ''Vikingligr Veldi'', ''Frost'' and ''Eld'' - each of which contained epic-length songs and plenty of aggressiveness, with the occasional quiet part or keyboard to break up the hypnotic, blurry riffing. The most notable change in this period of the band's history is the departure of original drummer Trym for Music/{{Emperor}} after recording 1995's split EP with Satyricon and his replacement with Harald Helgeson, who only lasted long enough to tour and record ''Eld'' before leaving himself.

On their early albums, the lyrics were all in Norwegian, Icelandic and various old Norse dialects. As well, they tended to be more consistently brutal (with Frost being perhaps their most aggressive album). Their first release (other than the usual demos) was the Hordanes land EP- three tracks of very primitive sounding BlackMetal with long (7-13 minutes each) songs and the odd synthesizer accent. It was [[UpdatedReRelease re-released]] a while later as a split with fellow BlackMetal band Music/{{Emperor}}. This more-or-less set the tone for their early albums- Vikingligr Veldi, Frost albums - ''Vikingligr Veldi'', ''Frost'' and Eld- ''Eld'' - each of which contained epic-length songs and plenty of aggressiveness, with the occasional quiet part or keyboard to break up the hypnotic, blurry riffing. The most notable change in this period of the band's history is the departure of original drummer Trym for Music/{{Emperor}} after recording 1995's split EP with Satyricon and his replacement with Harald Helgeson, who only lasted long enough to tour and record Eld ''Eld'' before leaving himself.
For the recording of their next album,Blodhemn, ''Blodhemn'', the drummer's hot seat was occupied by the oddly-nicknamed Dirge Rep. Blodhemn ''Blodhemn'' differed from previous releases mostly due to its cleaner, heavier-sounding production (by Peter Tatgren, Tägtgren, of Hypocrisy fame). Their next album, Monumension, ''Mardraum'', was something of a change in sound for the band- they began to write more complex songs, with more tempo and time changes than before. The next album album, ''Monumension'', took things even further, with the ProgressiveRock influence even more prominent and with the lyrics now in English to boot!

Enslaved are a BlackMetal and ProgressiveMetal band from Norway. Well-known for their interest in Norse paganism, their philosophically-inclined lyrics, their [[EpicRocking long, complicated songs]] and their old habit of dressing up in Viking armor for photo shoots and concerts (they haven't done it in a long while, but they are kinda remembered for it). Their music is characterized by the aforementioned long songs, a combination of HarshVocals and more melodic singing, ProgressiveRock touches (like keyboards, quiet parts and numerous tempo/time signature changes in many of the longer songs) and a strong Norwegian folk music influence. They're generally regarded as the [[TropeCodifier second-most influential]] Viking Metal band in history (after Music/{{Bathory}}, [[TropeMaker who invented it]], and the ones responsible for much of its current definition.
They were formed in Norway back in 1991 by Ivar Bjornson and Grutle Kjellson (also known as Kjetil Grutle). Their name was taken from an early {{Immortal}} demo track, "Enslaved in Rot". While they began playing pretty typical BlackMetal, they began to add weirder structures to their music, as well as writing [[EpicRocking longer]] and [[ProgressiveMetal more complicated]] songs. They also deviated early on from the standard BlackMetal concerns (Satan, the occult, etc.) in favor of writing about NorseMythology. They rejected the label BlackMetal entirely, preferring to call their music "Extreme Metal".
On their early albums, the lyrics were all in Norwegian, Icelandic and various old Norse dialects. As well, they tended to be more consistently brutal (with Frost being perhaps their most aggressive album).
