Enslaved have entered Duper & Solslottet Studios in Bergen, Norway to record their fourtheenth new album. Jens Bogren (Amon Amarth, Opeth) has been brought on to oversee the mixing and mastering of the release. Guitarist/vocalist Ivar Bjørnson commented:
“It is absolutely fantastic to be in the studio with these new songs. So many doors were opened with ‘In Times’ and the times (sic) that followed; for us as a band, for me as a composer and I guess for us all on a personal level. I have never worked this hard to put together music for an album before, and that intensity continues into the studio where everybody is giving their everything, every hour of every day.
We are a tighter unit than ever before, which is obvious sonically. The concept conjured by myself and old war-brother Grutle is the strongest we have worked with. Finally, I am proud that we have taken more risks than ever before, and one in particular – and it is yielding awesome results. What does that mean? Stay tuned to find out!”
