Their last couple of CDs (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B001G5ZNHI\/rpcman\" target=\"_blank\">Vertebrae<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B000F1HGW4\/rpcman\">Ruun<\/a>) are very good. Their music is very complex, yet melodic. If you like Opeth, Katatonia, Anathema, or Dimmu Borgir, but haven&#8217;t given Enslaved a listening then you should. They are the type of band that you may not love on the first listening, but after several times through their CDs you find yourself discovering more and liking their sound more with each listening. This is much better than bands you like right off the bat but then find yourself bored with after many listenings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/p1010298.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2161\" title=\"enslaved chico ca vertebrae tour\" src=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/p1010298-800x392.jpg\" alt=\"enslaved chico ca vertebrae tour\" width=\"800\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/p1010298-800x392.jpg 800w, https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/p1010298-150x73.jpg 150w, https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/p1010298-1024x502.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/p1010298.jpg 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The setlist was something like this:<br \/>\nTo The Coast<br \/>\nRuun<br \/>\nFusion Of Sense And Earth<br \/>\nGround<br \/>\nAs Fire Swept Clean The Earth<br \/>\nThe Watcher<br \/>\nIsa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I took a road trip down to Chico, California to see Enslaved and Opeth at the Senator Theatre.
