Review - :
On {^Mardraum} (or "Nightmare" in Norwegian) {$Enslaved} makes use of many new musical influences and approaches to their somewhat unique brand of {\Scandinavian black metal}, most often called {\Viking metal}. Some quasi-progressive riffs and arrangements that call up memories of '70s {\rock} replace the near-constant, almost white-noise sonic attack of {$Enslaved}'s earlier (and generally better-recognized) recordings. While perhaps a little out of focus, {^Mardraum} holds its own against the better recognized {^Frost} and {^Blodhemn}, yet the 2000 release never goes too far, leaving fans of the group out of step with their music. Despite some extreme {\metal} overkill, this record has a feel and determination all of its own that fans of the genre (not just the band) should find quite interesting. While {^Frost} is generally considered the strongest {$Enslaved} record, an argument can be made for {^Mardraum} with its skillful musicianship and frantic arrangements. ~ Vincent Jeffries, All Music Guide
