#87: Enslaved's Ivar Bjørnson

Enslaved founding member Ivar Bjørnson is our guest this week.
The legendary progressive black metal band's new
record In Times hits shelves in a few weeks, and Chuck
and Godless had a chance to talk to him about his young children,
how close the band has been to splitting up, bouncing back and
solidifying a new line-up, the keys to a good relationship in a
band and his "marriage" to Enslaved bassist Grutle Kjellson for the
last 25 years. We also discuss the metal events coming to SXSW --
including the MetalSucks South By South Death
showcase -- and we go in depth on a recent post by
Sergeant D about Papa Roach going Djent. Does this signify the
coming end of djent? Will the pop-metal titans close the door
on another kind of metal just like they did for Nu Metal? Or should
we be happy the mainstream finally discovered something new to
incorporate? Songs:Enslaved - "One Thousand Years of Rain"Lee
McKinney - "Skylasher" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
