For the fifth time in their long career, ENSLAVED have been awarded the "Spellemann Prisen" - considered to be the Norwegian equivalent of the Grammys - as best metal act of the year after the release of their progressive opus »E« in October 2017.
Singer Grutle Kjellson comments:
"Yes!!! What an honour it is to win another Spellemann-award! As you can all imagine, it's a pretty tough race to win such an award in Norway. Not that music is competition, but there are quite a few fantastic heavy metal bands in our country. Just look at the list of nominees this year! We wanna thank everybody that was involved in the process of making this album we are getting increasingly proud of! Iver, Truls, Kjetil, Daniel, Einar, Jens, Tony and Simon + wives, family and friends!!
On behalf of Enslaved,
Grutle"
