Hordanes Land, by Enslaved

Hordanes Land

by Enslaved

supported by

t0rqreturn2019 Even though this more in the vein of early BM, it already shows their compositional strengths. The tracks sound like journeys, not songs. Some of the synth sounds are a bit dated, but this holds up.

Fyrelight The second release in the history of Enslaved showcases both some mean old-school black metal riffage and the progressive influences that the band would develop throughout their career. "Balfor" features a complex interplay of electric and acoustic guitar and synths that is both menacing and memorable. Favorite track: Balfor.
