Enslaved's Ivar Bjornson Plays His Favorite Guitar Riffs 

"My father gave me a Venom album", ONLY IN SCANDINAVIA :D

Hearing songs like this makes me want to hear Enslaved perform acoustic versions of some songs - that would be cool I think.

To be clear, that was not Kreator’s Flag of Hate; he played Awakening of the Gods. Great song!

Even unplugged these riffs still sound amazing in the hands of this master....

say what you will... but not pluging your guitar and using the kemper to hold your phone is the most black metal/zero shit given thing ever!!

I see he profiled a frying pan with ukulele strings on the Kemper.

He's a totally sympathetic,relaxed and typical norwegian guy.

His neighbors probably complain if he turns on his amp.

All hail Enslaved and Ivar. Amazing talent. I find it surreal that he is only a couple of years older than myself but has given so much to the world of metal and music in general. I love every Enslaved album. One of my favorite bands. Eld was my first taste and then I was branded with the fire for this band!

I love how Ivar is just straight to the point and doesn't waffle about the past too much. What a man and musician

We need to get Akerfeldt on here. Come on, Loudwire!

Kemper holding a phone as he plays an electric unplugged. Interesting take.

frost and the enslaved/emperor split will always be on my top black metal albums for life. SLAGET I SKOGEN BORTENFOR! \m/

Thanks Ivar 👏!!! And thanks for you music with Enslaved, one of my favourites metal bands!!! And of course the greatest Bathory the best influence!!! ☠️🤟

i love this dude

Ahhh... so glad to see Ivar plays Freezing moon THAT way!

Did he use his Kemper only for lighting?

it is nice to hear someone in this series without a 100 watt amp on 1 with the pre amp gain all the way up

Here's my kemper! Let's not use it

Now this is a cabin

So cool. He's incredible

How is that riff on Vetrarnott at 3:52 not on here? It's one of the best riffs in metal.

Heard and saw these guys play live on video yesterday for my first time, you can tell right away these guys are real heads with taste, man. The song I saw them play was "Sacred Horse" btw, on the Verftet Online Festival, outstanding.

“The crossing of bit of lights is a nice 🎸🎸💤▫️▪️▫️”

Ivar: Has very expensive Kemper profiler. Also Ivar: What, you want me to plug my guitar in?!?!

That was sick man!

How did I already know he lived in a log cabin?

Brother. Songs from the soul you love there \m/ Ahhhh Countess Bathory

this is metal

Hi~ I'm your korean fan~

Awesome

That Venom riff sounds like something from Nirvana 😳

no way- Enslaved was influenced by Darkthrone, Mayhem, and Bathory! Who would of thought? :)

cool riffs but it’d be way better to listen to it thru some Kemper rigs....

his neighbors must being really happy jeje

Freezing Moon!

You guys should have one of the guitarists from Skálmöld in one of these videos

Fuckin awesome! Fuck overdrive.

Kreator and Venom. . \m/

what’s the outro song - i mean the loudwire outro. not the thing Ivan played

Las mejores melodias

Of course he lives in a cabin

Hey everyone I'm here and I'm high

turn down the volume Ivar! geez!

Ivar gave you an angle of his guitar playing and separate audio through his Kemper. Pretty disrespectful to a legend to upload it like this to be honest. Lazy.

Woa

nice shirt by the way

🤟

This could easily have been 5 hours long and I would have watched without a break

Bro lives in a cabin

IVAR!!!!

That guitar neck looks like a toothpick in his hands! I'm gonna check out some of his muzak. Love Black Metal but still learning about the greats. 😈

Enslaved MTV Unplugged haha

@Loudwire can you please reupload this with the proper distorted Kemper audio? This is total shit (despite how awesome Ivar's clean playing is)

Who is first?

Countess Bathory sounds like "smell like teen spirit"! Wtf...hoewever what a guitar that..sulte Ivar

they got this kemper lit up like a pinball machine and all you hear is that twangy bedroom tone. feels like i'm being trolled here

👍👌🤘🤘🐈

I'm not mad he decided to use a Kemper solely as a phone holder. I'm mad Loudwire said "yeah this will make a great video" and proceeded to send it. Its the equivalent of "screw it, our viewers don't matter"

song at 8:20 ??

Needs more gain lol jk

I thought he was going acoustic to make the chords/notes more clear for people, but apparently Loudwire just dropped the ball. 😒

No distortion? Hello?

He forgot to turn on the amp

666th like.

Gee, sick tone bro. : /

This was kind of pointless. I love Enslaved and Ivar but.....why not plug in?

Black Metal meets Country!

I love Ivar and how infinitely talented he is but if you bring a goddamn Kemper then just play with it. This is terrible.
