Following last year's "In Times" album (reviewed here), Enslaved's next release is “The Sleeping Gods - Thorn," which drops November 11th via Norse Music and collects experimental material from 2010 - 2011 together in one package.
Costin Chioreanu of Twilight 13 Media (Roadburn Festival, Opeth, Darkthrone, At The Gates, etc.) once again did the beautiful new layout. The songs originally appeared on extremely limited EPs between the full-length albums “Axioma Ethica Odini” and “Riitiir,” and were recorded both in Solslottet Studio in Bergen, as well as the band member’s own studios and partly in the deep woods of Valevaag on the south-west coast of Norway.
The album has lyrics sung in both Norwegian, English and Old Norse, and the theme centres on mythology and the esoteric side of the runes; as well as contrasting the Norse ways as a polytheistic belief system to the monotheistic plague of the big world religions.
If you missed it the first time around, the original "Sleeping Gods" EP can still also be streamed after the jump. More...
