Enslaved is turning 30 this year! Enslaved was founded in Spring 1991 and is celebrating 30 years of unprecedented, genre-boundaries altering presence in the Extreme Metal and Prog scenes. To celebrate this milestone, By Norse Music and Nuclear Blast proudly announce the release of the Enslaved “Cinematic Tour 2020” on June 25th, 2021!

All physical formats also contain a download card for all 4 streams!
“The Rise of Ymir” was performed as part of the Verftet Online Festival in Bergen during spring 2020. As the band celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2021, "The Rise of Ymir" is a powerful gathering of some of Enslaved’s all-times favourite hymns.
"Chronicles of the Northbound” was performed in the spirit of and in collaboration with Roadburn Festival at USF Verftet in Bergen, Norway, during a psychedelic day of Summer 2020. The setlist was assembled 1:1 from an online voting by fans. Enslaved salutes their fans for their efforts in choosing a list that was also 1:1 with their "dream set".
"Below the Lights" was performed in league with Beyond the Gates Festival at USF Verftet in Bergen, Norway, during a dark day of summer 2020. The event witnessed Enslaved perform their acclaimed opus "Below the Lights" in its entirety, featuring the guest musician Inge Rypdal - aka The Sixth - who performs brilliantly on guitar throughout this entire concert (as he once also did on "A Darker Place" on the original recording)!
“Utgard – The Journey Within” was performed with power from Summer Breeze Open Air, at Nowhere in Sotra, Norway during a day of might in Summer 2020. "Utgard - The Journey Within" was Enslaved’s virtual release party for their latest album "Utgard" and marked a strangely upbeat end of a strange year for the band. Even though 2020 was a year connected with struggle and hardship for everyone, it was also a year Enslaved will forever associate with a strong sense of community around the band.
