Reviews Customer Reviews for Blodhemn      Bloody Conquest      Rating:      another outstanding album from these viking kings of Nordic metal. Enslaved is one of the rare bands that have managed to stay solid in their approach to bombastic, brutal, and brillaintly blackened music. the cosmic strains of "Audhumla. Birth of the Worlds" serves as the intro and it's just a matter of moments until the fury of the second song "I Lenker Til Ragnarok" is unleashed. the first thing i noticed is how the production seems to be a bit cleaned up compared to the Eld album. i like the somewhat misty, murky feel of that record, but Blodhemn's more trebly approach fits the faster tempo and violent nature of these songs. the guitars especially sound meaner and the drumming is more upfront in the mix, giving it all a good "in the midst of bloody battle" feeling. the vocals have always been great with Enslaved, but here they have grown even better. everything from hauntingly clean sung passages, to deathly raspy growls and even a few Slayer-inspired high pitched screams. Blodhemn seems to be a far more violent ordeal than Enslaved's last 2 proper albums. but their fury is never outblown to the point where it loses impact or runs out of steam. each song stands on it own with a brutal confidence and is overflowing with great songwriting and a creative approach; which makes this album more and more fascinating with each listen. Blodhemn, along with Eld and Mardraum -Beyond The Within- are essential purchases for any Enslaved fan.     Customer Reviews for Blodhemn Cd      Hail Blodhemn!!      Rating:      One of the best musical masterpieces in black metal history. I only wrote this review in the "under 13" because I don't have time to make an account for the other reviews. This being my first Enslaved CD, I was impressed, after listening to it for 2 times I was hooked. Believe me I know black nmetal as much as the next guy, this is true norse/Viking/Norwegianblack metal at it's finest I love Blodhemn it is one of my prized posessions. The lyrics are well-thought out they talk about old viking a.k.a pagan viking gods. Brutal vocals by Ivar, Enslaved stands as the pioneer band in the genre they invented, viking metal. Me being a music lover, of course loved the melodic guitar riffs, brutal vocals and well composed and ambient. If you like quality, original after all they invented viking norse with brutal vocals and harmonic/ambient melodics, buy this awesome masterpiece today!
