Black vinyl.

Background information über 'Hordanes Land'

This early gem from Enslaved stands as one of the most pivotal releases in Norwegian black metal history, originally emerging from the band's formative years when they were still teenagers pushing the boundaries of extreme music. "Hordanes Land" captures the raw, untamed spirit of second-wave black metal while showcasing the progressive tendencies that would later define Enslaved's evolution. The album weaves together ferocious tremolo-picked riffs, blast beat fury, and atmospheric passages that transport listeners to the frost-covered landscapes of ancient Norway.

What makes this release particularly special is how it bridges the gap between primitive black metal aggression and the more sophisticated songwriting that Enslaved would become renowned for. Tracks like "Slaget I Skogen Bortenfor" demonstrate their ability to craft epic compositions that feel both brutally immediate and cinematically vast, while the inclusion of "Enslaved" as a bonus track provides additional insight into the band's early creative process. The production maintains that essential rawness that gives early 90s black metal its distinctive character, yet allows enough clarity for the intricate guitar work and thunderous rhythms to shine through.

For fans of: Darkthrone, Burzum, Emperor, Mayhem and Immortal
