Enslaved «Roadburn Live» 2LP/CD/Digital out today! May 19, 2017. Enslaved «Roadburn Live» – a split release between By Norse Music and Burning World Records. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki—son of a giant—blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. Once, when Thor’s hammer is stolen, Thor must disguise himself as a woman—difficult with his beard and huge appetite—to steal it back. ![]() ![]() More poignant is the tale in which the blood of Kvasir—the most sagacious of gods—is turned into a mead that infuses drinkers with poetry. The work culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and rebirth of a new time and people. Through Gaiman’s deft and witty prose emerge these gods with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long- ago myths breathe pungent life again. There are so many books on Norse mythology out there, especially at the beginner level, that if you were to make a pile with one copy of each it would probably reach. The runes are inextricably bound to Norse mythology. One who aspires to be a user of runes needs a working knowledge of the mythology and writings of the runic era.

The mysteries of the atom and nuclear physics have fascinated me deeply as long as I can remember. Enlightened humans have known for thousands of years that the concept of “god” dwells within the corporal being, and with the atom bomb the proof was definite (to me at least). As scientist in charge Oppenheimer said, watching the first test atom bomb go off: “I have become Shiva; Destroyer of Worlds”. The other aspect of radiation is its communicative powers; of carrying information over enormous distances. We learn things about the universe and its early days from watching bursts of Gamma Ray make its way through the universe.”Watch the “Gamma” video on the band’s You. Tube or our Vimeo account!

The album was recorded during one of the band’s headline shows at the renowned Roadburn Festival 2. Enslaved’s guitar player Ivar Bj. One of the most hard- hitting and progressive bands to come out of Norway, Enslaved has played a significant part in the festival’s history – both musically and artiscally. Not only has Enslaved been our artist in residence, bringing side- projects such as The Armageddon Concerto (the Enslaved / Shining collaboration), Dream of an Opium Eater and Trinacria to Roadburn, Ivar Bj. Enslaved’s 2. 01. Roadburn, and the (underground) metal scene for the past two decades. To have these shows captured on vinyl is a dream come true for me, and I truly hope it’s the same for anyone who was in attendance, or those who want to indulge themselves in the Northern magic of Enslaved.”«Roadburn Live» will be available as limited and exclusive Record Store Day color editions and as Roadburn/Enslaved- Webshop Gold edition including the original A3 Roadburn poster and color stickers !

Bard. Spec has since evolved into a fully fledged band, with Steve Austin on guitars/effects, David Hall presenting the live visual aspect of the project, with the layout created by Josh Graham (Soundgarden, Neurosis, IIVII, etc.). Bard. Spec music combines stirring, hallucinatory synth- sounds with mercurial guitar effects and hypnotic rhythms that navigate illusory landscapes. Field recordings, and other found- sounds also drift and evaporate into the ether. Working intuitively with these elements and with sharpened senses, attuned to inner impulses, this is immersive music, that can exist anywhere, and anytime within the minds of the listener. Whilst Bard. Spec might essentially be the same brain and personality making the music, compared to Enslaved, it is a widely different entity. Thematically and sonically, Bard. Spec is about minimising, subtracting and meditating upon the simplest essence of “things”; the single points: exemplified through the song titles, like “Bone”, “Salt” and so on, the basic elements and foundations that make up the whole. There is an element of “space” in the music, and the artwork, as a representation of the inner workings of the mind and the subconscious.
