After spending over two decades amassing a striking collection of releases, Norwegian progressive black metal band ENSLAVED will be hitting Australian shores in June for the first time in their illustrious career. The ‘Australian Winter Rite Tour 2013’ will see the band tour throughout the nation in support of their extremely well received 2012 release, ‘RIITIIR’.
ENSLAVED’s twelfth album ‘RIITIIR’ was released to a flurry of positive reviews as well as earning it’s place at #1 in UK magazine Metal Hammer’s Top 5 albums of 2012. Enslaved are no strangers to this type of success with an impressive list of accolades under their belt including 4 Norwegian Grammy awards in the “Best Metal Album” category for their last four album releases.
With countless positive live reviews emerging from their recent USA and Europe tours, ENSLAVED’s energetic live show is not one to be missed. The long-awaited Australian tour will satisfy all those who have been eagerly awaiting a visit from the Norwegian quintet as they deliver an intense set covering material from throughout their lengthy career.
This is not just a huge event for the fans, but for Enslaved as well as they send this message to their Australian fans: “So this is finally and actually happening! They say that the millionth time’s the charm; that’s about the times we’ve almost made it to Australia – but now the time has come, and we’re ready for it to say the least. We’ve got twenty-two years of music to select from, and a live-reputation we now need to prove true in Australia. Finally we get to meet the fans that have supported us so loyally from the other side of the world through all these years. Now it is our job to prove that the wait was worth it! See you soon!”
