DESCRIPTION TRACK LIST
Enslaved iconic debut album! The vinyl layout was done by Z. Bielak (Ghost, Mayhem, etc.), and includes four exclusive illustrations especially made for this legendary album. Z. Bielak has stayed true to the ideals of the era (it was originally scheduled for release on vinyl in 1993). All tracks have been respectfully remastered for vinyl by Iver Sandøy; preserving every bit of original dynamics.
Enslaved's 1st full-length album was co-produced with the legendary Pytten in the world famous Grieghallen Studio in Bergen, Norway. It was originally released on Deathlike Silence Productions, an Oslo based independent record label founded in the late 1980s. The infamous label was run by Euronymous, the late mastermind and guitarist behind Black Metal pioneers Mayhem. This album has lyrics in Icelandic, and is a tribute to the Norse landscape, history and mythology. The compositions and production matches these themes with long horizontal songscapes, dense atmospheres and winds from the past.
Enslaved was formed in 1991 by Ivar Bjørnson and Grutle Kjellson, and did their first demo Yggdrasill in the summer of 1992, while the legendary mini-album Hordanes Land was released the year after in 1993. Vikingligr Veldi came in the spring of 1994 and is Enslaved’s landmark debut album.
VIKINGLIGR VELIDI LINE-UP: Ivar Bjørnson (guitars, keys), Grutle Kjellson (vocals, bass), Trym Torson (drums).
