    I used to walk my dog (a lovely Siberian Husky) through the woods and beach while listening to this song. Now... I just walk while listening to this. I miss that dog so much...
    Thank you Enslaved.

    Herbrand Larsen was always my favorite part of Enslaved. His vocals brought so much to the table in terms of atmosphere and emotion. Was very sad when he left the band but Håkon is an excellent successor! Love "E" and the two new tracks from the new album. Herbrand and Cato will be missed dearly

    Darkness...
    Fear...
    Life...
    Cold...
    Left alone with no will
    Walking in footsteps of the fallen
    Blinded by lack of reason
    Indulging the tales of doom
    "Farewell
    May the darkness bind them
    No one will
    Remember the pain when we are...gone..."
    Desolate...
    Unconscious...
    Lost...
    Where lies the ones I've slain?
    Did I become any wiser?
    Will their anger hunt me down?
    Did I sacrifice in vain?
    "Farewell
    Hear the sound of solitude
    No one will
    Walk the bridge, to darkness overcome"
    Settlement...
    Trust...
    Relief...
    Dawn...
    Guide me, watcher in the skies
    Transform the forces of the dead
    In my dreams I'll hunt them down
    I now know the truth

    I used to be really annoyed this video has never been available online in high definition.
    Now I watch it on my 4k in 144p for pure nostalgia.

      +Ian Bach (Razorface) very mesmerising in songs which has the heavy vocals.

      +Ian Bach (Razorface) can you suggest a few songs like this one?

      abyssphere - again and again, insomnium - while we sleep, paradise lost - frailty, evadne - one last dress for one last journey, when nothing remains - i forgive you, officium triste - my charcoal heart, agalloch - you were but a ghost
      here are some that came into my mind, hope this helps

    Never heard of these guys till I saw them live when they came with Insomnium recently during the US tour. Now I am a fan! I particularly like this song a lot!
