ENSLAVED reveal new single ‘Kingdom’ alongside concept video


Enslaved release a stunning new track titled ‘Kingdom‘ alongside an evocative concept video. The unorthodox Norwegians have found themselves at an intersection of sorts, where the momentum of living time rushes forward at an ever-increasing pace, imperceptibly modulated by the primeval echoes of eons past.

With this we ask you to join us on this coming trek. Thanks for listening!
