The first album has earned it’s spot among the Black Metal pillars of the 90′s, but Borknagar moved away from the genre with the second and third album and is by 2011 considered a «progressive»- metal band.

So what’s up these days with Enslaved? It seems you’re always touring or recording albums…
– We’ve just come home from Mexico, and that was a festival to remember, as a heavy rainstorm knocked out all the electric equipment before we even got a chance to play a single note. Too bad, we were ready to perform, but when the weather proved too much to handle you just can’t do anything. We’d love to come back though. In a couple of days we’re heading to Germany to play at the Rock Hard festival, and then to perform at Norwegian Wood in Oslo with Insense, Gojiira and Read the rest of this entry »
