Norway's Enslaved have returned with a new recording which continues the progressive style of viking black metal from their previous releases and this is a review of their 2021 ep "Caravans To The Outer Worlds" which will be released in October by Nuclear Blast Records.
Dark soundscapes start off the ep along with some powerful sounding bass guitars a few seconds later. Keyboards are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the clean playing also gives the songs more of a progressive feeling and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the vocals also add in a small amount of high pitched black metal screams. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard along with some clean singing also being utilized at times and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some elements of prog rock being added into some of the songs and when acoustic guitars are utilized they also add in touches of folk music. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Norse Spirituality themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Enslaved and if you are a fan of this band, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Caravans to The Outer Worlds". 8 out of 10.
