Enslaved present Tales of Trees, advancing the path toward their seventeenth studio album Mið, released by Nuclear Blast on October 30th, 2026.
Tales of Trees examines the relationship between nature and the human condition.
Grutle Kjellson describes trees as metaphors for the human mind: capable of growth, brilliance, decay and destruction.
Ivar Bjørnson highlights rhythmic structures inspired by folk music and the adventurous spirit of progressive rock.
Musically, the track merges complex progressive structures, black metal atmospheres and folk‑influenced elements.
Visualiser directed by Marius Marthinussen Søreide, produced by Eirik Svensen, executed by KolibriMedia.
