Enslaved release new live music video for ‘Sacred Horse’

ENSLAVED have released a new live music video!

The new live music video, for the track The Crossing, is taken from the iconic Norwegian progressive/black metal band’s upcoming new live release The Rise of Ymir (Verftet Online Festival 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 new live music video, bassist/vocalist Grutle Kjellson says, Sacred Horse is probably one of our proudest moments in our now three-decade long career, and that song pretty much sums up what ENSLAVED is all about; energy. A very aggressive song, yet also dynamic and mellow. Besides, it’s always a delightful experience to perform it on stage and to see how our audience absorbs it and enjoys it. We’ve even seen people crying at the front row while playing this song, and of course beholding our fans unleashing such emotions, really lifts the whole experience to a pretty much divine level! Obviously, performing it without an audience at an online show wasn’t an easy task, but the memories of our previous endeavours playing it alongside our fans, got us through. Thanks for watching!”

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