ENSLAVED share
the following about their new album: “As always, it is hard to
formulate an exact direction ENSLAVED is or is not heading in with the new
album. This duality is part of the essence of the band: The ability to maintain
consistency and a strong identity and, at the same time, surprise both the
oldest fans and even ourselves with new musical directions. The new material is
darker and rawer, more aggressive and direct, yet continues the exploration
deeper into progressive, softer, and more melodic territories with at times
complex song structures, combined with unusually immediate (for ENSLAVED, at
least) elements. The high level of energy in the songs reflects both an
inspired and an ever-harder working band that keeps pushing their own and their
associated genres’ limits.”
The main recording session for the new album took place at Duper Studios and Solslottet Studio in Bergen, Norway with additional recording sessions taking place at Conclave & Earshot Studios (run by band members Larsen and Ice Dale), as well as Ivar Bjørnson’s Peersonal Sound Studios. Additional experimentation and sonic exploration was conducted deep in the woods of Valevåg (south of Bergen), where a mobile studio recorded additional sounds.
In Times was produced by band members Ivar Bjørnson, Grutle Kjellson & Herbrand Larsen together with Iver Sandøy. Mixing was completed by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden.
The hand-painted artwork for the new album was created by long time collaborator and the ‘sixth member of ENSLAVED’, Truls Espedal.
