Album Review

An important release for the extreme music subgenre of Viking metal, Frost represented a sizeable creative leap for Norway's Enslaved. After only a few years of existence, several record labels, and a few member changes, Enslaved had settled into a bit of a groove on this 1994 release. Bassist/vocalist Grutle Kjellson leads the way with plenty of throat splitting call-outs to various Norse gods and apocalyptic battle descriptions, while Ivar Bjørnson (guitar, keyboards) and Trym Torson (drums) plow through plenty of destructive riffs of their own. The music oscillates between spooky, plodding keyboard intros to black metal so fast and furious, barely a beat or melody is descernable. Highlights include the relatively decipherable "Fenris" and the slow, dissonant "Yggdrasil," but in general, all the tracks on Frost bear enough of a resemblance to make this 1994 release a fine black metal listen. Fans of the Viking metal subgenre certainly need to add this to their collection, but metal fans, even lovers of the sonically similar (but much more American) death metal genre, might not respond to Frost.

What!?

If this is Enslaved's best album ever, then why did u give it 4 stars, dumbass.

a brilliant album

This is a great album, a very icy cold sound here, its perfect for viking metal fans, but other black metal warriors will like this too, its raw and pritty intense. The opening keyboard into (track 1 ) is one of the best musical pieces I have ever herd. A very powerful album, fans of the newer Enslaved material might turn away from this. But its certinly worth giving a chance.

Classic

This is probably the best Enslaved album ever. This album is a great example of what Black Metal should sound like. If you like the early albums from other Black Metal bands like Satyricon or Dimmu Borgir then you will like this album. This is Enslaved second album and in my opinion the best. I think this is better than their most recent album Ruun by far.
