Enslaved release new live music video for ‘The Crossing’

ENSLAVED have released a new live music video!

The new live music video, for the track The Crossing, captures the band performing the track from last year’s Cinematic Summer Tour livestream series. The livestream series will now be packaged as live albums/DVDs and will be released in June this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.

Speaking about the new live music video, bassist/vocalist Grutle Kjellson says, “the online performance of Below The Lights was indeed a trip. There has been a huge demand for us to perform that album for some years now. Ironically, because there was very little buzz around it in the days of its initial release back in 2003. I guess we fell into the good ol’ pit in-between the chairs back then, and we got pretty puzzled when people started to shout out for those songs 10 years later!

Anyway, we are psyched and proud to present to you a special performance of the whole album, also including a sixth member, Inge Rypdal! Rypdal is a long time friend of the band and has been collaborating with ENSLAVED on several occasions over the years, including a stunning performance on the recordings of Below The Lights, adding a beautiful contribution on A Darker Place. Here’s a little sneak peak! Enjoy The Crossing and have a heavy weekend!”
