Enslaved Announces "Vikingligr Veld" Vinyl Re-issue

Norwegian progressive extreme metal band Enslaved will issue debut full-length, the now legendary "Vikingligr Veldi," on vinyl for the first time ever.

Set for release on September 23rd, 2016 via By Norse Music, the limited 2xLP gatefold edition includes a new layout design by Z. Bielak (Ghost, Mayhem etc.) as well as four brand new illustrations specially made for this offering. Additionally, the record has been remastered for vinyl by Iver Sandøy.

Initially released in 1994, "Vikingligr Veld" was co-produced with Pytten (Immortal, Mayhem, Burzum, Emperor et al) in Bergen, Norway. The album features lyrics in Icelandic, and is a tribute to the Norse landscape, history, and mythology.

"We have been waiting since the day we recorded it," comments Enslaved's Ivar Bjørnson, "and at last it is happening! It has been a challenging journey, and it has demanded a lot of patience and understanding from all parts involved. The day we held the finished product in our hands was as sacred a day for us as the day we finished recording it."
