Enslaved managed to release 2 fantastic albums in 1994, and it’s a toss up between which is better. They have surprisingly different sounds to them, but due to Frost’s further foray into Viking Metal, it fills a niche as the best Viking Metal album of 1994.

Frost is an incredibly well-played album especially in the world of Black Metal. Songs are approaching Progressive territory with how many changes they have, and there’s a great variety to the drumming as opposed to some of the other Black Metal of the time. Music is dense and often features acoustic instruments and keys backing the primary Metal ensemble. The acoustic guitars especially do a great job adding some extra melodies and a folky atmosphere.

One real problem here… it’s not really Viking Metal. It’s got the lyrical content and some of that folky feel, but overall, the music here is very much Black Metal. Another problem is the song Yggdrasil, which is an awful slog to get through… the rest of the album is strictly great material.

Bathory이후로 바이킹적인 냄새가 짙었던 Enslaved 의 2집 입니다.바이킹블랙?하면 바쏘리 이후로 후배 밴드들에서 많은걸 물려줬던 스타일을 고스란이 계승?한 느낌이 상당히 강하며,Trym Torson->Emperor 의 드러머 도 재직?했던 시절에 나온 90년대 초반에 나온 바이킹 블랙이며,전형적인 템포체인지 와 어쿠스틱한 부분적인 흐름 그리고 전체적인 심플한 흐름이 복잡하며서도 짜임새 있게 이어지는 바이킹 블랙 입니다.

역시 Enslaved 답게 좋은 멜로디와 리프릴 가지고 시원시원하게 달려준다. 하지만 1집이 너무 훌륭하기도 했고 이 앨범 Frost는 듣다보면 살짝 지루해지는 감이 없지 않기 때문에.. 좋기는 하나 약간의 아쉬움이 남는 앨범. 85점.

Fierce & evil in a way that implies hardship, suffering, & struggle. That icy intro does a lot to set the mood. Highlights like the wicked laughing at the end of track 2 show they really put thought & effort in. More importantly, they did the same with the instrumentation which is full of interesting twists & turns while keeping the fury & attitude that define great black metal.

Second full masterpiece record that promoted them to play overseas. True 90s viking metal atmosphere/arrangements/production

A staple in black/viking metal

멋진 인트로와 특유의 빠른 템포의 리프, 맛깔나는 언클린 보컬 인슬레이브드에서 가장 좋아하는 요소들이 잘 들어갔다. 앞뒤작품에서 보여준 에픽함에 대해선 애매해보여 아쉽긴 함

1집과 3집이 너무 명반이라 사이에 있는 2집은 평범하다

데뷔작 Vikingligr veldi 에서 보여준 놀라운 서사와 마치 수도꼭지에서 물방울 떨어지는듯한 톤으로 빚어냈던 몽환적 흐름을 기대하고 들었기에, 그만큼 실망감도 크게 다가온 작품으로, 전작의 발끝을 간신히 쫓아가는 듯한 인상을 줍니다. 아마추어 카피밴드가 Vikingligr veldi를 듣고 감명받아 어설프게 만들어낸 작품같이 들려 아쉽습니다. 거친 마감이 매력이자 흠.

인트로 Frost를 들으면서 우두커니 앉아 음반자켓을 보고있자니...노르웨이의 신선이 되어 득도한 기분이다

나에겐 이들의 앨범은 음악적(연주적) 역량은 당대의 같은 나라의 누구들보다 뛰어나지만 그것을 포장해 내어 놓는 재능은 참으로 반에도 미치지 못하는, 정말이지 재능을 이다지도 못 살리고 지루하고 작위적으로 만들 수 있는가.. 하는 느낌을 준다. 물론 고개를 주억거리게 하는 부분이 없는 것은 아니지만서도.
