Enslaved is a progressive metal band hailing from Haugesund, Norway. Formed in June 1991 by Ivar Peersen (aka Ivar Bjørnson) and Kjetil Grutle (aka Grutle Kjellson), the band has made a name for themselves as pioneers of viking metal. While their current sound still carries elements of black metal, it is heavily influenced by the British progressive rock bands of the 1970s.

The current line-up consists of *Ivar Peersen* on guitar since 1991, *Kjetil Grutle* on vocals and bass since 1991, *Arve Isdal* on guitar since 2002, *Håkon Vinje* on keyboards and clean vocals since 2017, and *Iver Sandøy* on drums since 2018.

Enslaved's unique blend of genres has earned them a dedicated following over the years. Fans of similar artists such as Borknagar, Emperor, Windir, Kampfar, Satyricon, Keep Of Kalessin, Arcturus, Primordial, Immortal, Melechesh, Ihsahn,Taake ,1349,Dødheimsgard ,Summoning,Tsjuder,Sigh,Ulver ,Moonsorrow,and Naglfar are sure to appreciate Enslaved's captivating music.

" In true Enslaved fashion, the Bergen voyagers' 16th album, Heimdal, is both a departure and a communion with roots forged over three decades ago in the turbulent birth throes of Norway's black metal scene. Founded in 1991 by the then precociously young Ivar Bjørnson and Grutle Kjellson, Enslaved were determined to set out on a different course from their Satanic, church-burning peers, turning their attention towards Viking lore and writing the majority of the lyrics for their 1994 debut album, Vikingligr Veldi, in Icelandic for it's proximity to Old Norse."
