Enslaved release new live music video for ‘Fenris’

ENSLAVED have released a new live music video!

The new live video, for the track Fenris, is taken from the iconic Norwegian progressive/black metal band’s upcoming new live release Chronicles of the Northbound (Cinematic Tour 2020), which sees the band fly through a career spanning entirely fan-voted set of favourites. It is one part of their four new live album/DVD Cinematic Tour 2020 collection due to be released later this month.

Speaking about the live clip, bassist/vocalist Grutle Kjellson says,Fenris was perhaps the first song we wrote that got a massive encore demand, and before we actually had a lot of songs to pick from, we even played it twice during a set [laughs]. So, since all the songs on the Chronicles of the Northbound set was handpicked and voted for by our fans, it wasn’t a big shock that the grand old wolf was among the chosen ones. Fenris has been present on many of our setlists for pretty close to 30 years now, and it is still a great song for both ourselves to perform and for the audience to absorb. It’s a very energetic song, and its lyrical concept deals with letting the energy flow naturally without trying to enslave (bish!) it. The consequences can be fatal if you keep the wolf in captivity for too long. Let loose your inner wolf, the inevitable tide, and enjoy!”

Cinematic Tour 2020 is set for release on June 25th via Nuclear Blast Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
