Enslaved is a Norwegian extreme metal band formed by Ivar Bjørnson and Grutle Kjellson in Haugesund in 1991. They are currently based in Bergen. The band's lineup has changed many times. Bjørnson and Kjellson are the sole constant members. The current lineup also includes lead guitarist Arve Isdal, keyboardist/singer Håkon Vinje, and drummer Iver Sandøy.
The band draws on Norwegian Viking cultural and religious heritage for inspiration. Most lyrics relate to Norse mythology. Though they began as a traditional black metal band, their sound has changed over time, resulting in a progressive sound. In 2014, the Norwegian government commissioned members of Enslaved to create a piece celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Norwegian constitution. This was later released as the studio album Skuggsjá (lit: Shadow watch) in 2016. The band has released sixteen full-length studio albums. The most recent, Heimdal, was released in 2023.
