It’s Facebook official, folks: Below The Lights, ENSLAVED’s seventh studio album first released in 2003, has now entered Decibel Magazine’s esteemed extremely extreme Hall Of Fame.
Not only did our favorite Norwegian progressive, extreme metal band get an 8-page feature, but Below The Lights also ranked in at #57 on the Decibel Top 100 Black Metal Albums of All Time. That’s right, “All Time.” As in “Going Back 14 Billion Years To The Big Bang.” That’s kvlt to the Higgs Boson bone. \m/
