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.

In Times is the thirteenth studio album by the Norwegian extreme metal band Enslaved. It was released on March 10, 2015 by Nuclear Blast. As the title suggests, the album's central theme is that of time, considered philosophically, historically, and mythologically. In Times marks a further move to a more progressive sound following similar trends on their last few albums.[3] Some reviewers see Herbrand Larsen as responsible for this change, with Exclaim! stating that "the secret star of the record may be keyboardist Herbrand Larsen, whose role in the band has expanded markedly over the past few albums and really comes to the fore on In Times".[4] Loudwire agree, writing in their review that "with each passing album, keyboardist Herbrand Larsen has become a more integral part of the band utilizing his soothing clean vocals to contrast and compliment Grutle's uncompromising rasp".[3] Ivar Bjørnson of the band told Blabbermouth in an interview that In Times "is the most consistent body of work we have so far: it incorporates our 'blacker' past with our influences from prog rock, our present sense of absolute freedom, and the joy of being in this band".[2] According to Bjørnson, the title "reflects the existence of multiple realities across 'places' and times; both physically and metaphorically. Every bit of thought or reflection involves a variety of times, unconsciously - the past, the present, the future, mythological times, deep time, psychological timelines and so on. So this album is a meditation on the concept of being aware and working with times actively to achieve new situations according to the will. The title makes me think of life, death, runes, esoteric traditions/magic, mythology, gods, quantum physics... everything and nothing and everything".[5] In a separate interview, he said that "it is about "times" and existing in and across several times, the same way you have in mythological or a mystical perspective of time, creation and the forthcoming, the end of the world. It was interesting enough that we have philosophies and science, not like in mythology, (in this) everything is certain. It was Christianity (and other religions) that first introduced the concept of the world ending, with no more beginnings after that. So that's one perspective.
