Enslaved - "Sacred Horse" (Verftet Online Festival)

Through air

Along the path I laid
Saw it race by
Memories in tow
Into the belly of the earth

Light of dawn,
All alone
Char-like shadows,
Slither away
Through water
Wounded, burned
And without site
Not waiting for
Another night

Now headed for the wild
Called from afar and within
Through soil
Leaving lost wars behind
Wildfires of need,
Calm waters of the mind
Through thought

Battle cries now resounded
On a field at the world's end
A clash of gods and giants
In the centre of the mind

Through emotion
Through reality
v Saw a mound
Had to bury
Sung for another me
Had to do (it), so that I could be
One for sight
Two for flesh
Three were the norns
Four corners of the worlds
Five the number of a man
Six one two and three
Seven streams of blood
Eight-legged child of Loke

Άκρως δραστήριοι δισκογραφικά μέσα στο 2021 οι Enslaved, αλλά χωρίς νέο υλικό. Οι Νορβηγοί viking metallers θα κυκλοφορήσουν (ούτε ένα, ούτε, δύο, ούτε τρία, αλλά...) τέσσερα live albums το καλοκαίρι.

Πρόκειται για τέσσερις "ψηφιακές" συναυλίες της μπάντας που πραγματοποιήθηκαν πέρυσι (το καλοκαίρι του 2020) μέσω αναμετάδοσης και ηχογραφήθηκαν - φιλμογραφήθηκαν. Τα τέσσερα live θα κυκλοφορήσουν αυτόνομα σε βινύλιο (στις 25 Ιουνίου) και όλα μαζί σε (τετραπλό) cd υπό τον τίτλο "Cinematic Tour 2020"...

Δελτίο τύπου: «'Sacred Horse' (live) is taken from their upcoming Cinematic Tour 2020 recording: The Rise of Ymir (Verftet Online Festival 2020). Despite being locked down in space, Enslaved take us on a tour through time, with classic tracks and fan favourites resurrected and revitalised by a formidable and accomplished live performance.

This performance of 'Sacred Horse' is taken from their upcoming live release Chronicles of the Northbound (Cinematic Tour 2020), which sees Enslaved fly through a career spanning entirely fan-voted set of favourites. It is one part of their four new live album/DVD Cinematic Tour 2020 collection due to be released on June 25th.»
