Enslaved was formed in 1991 by Ivar Bjørnson and Grutle Kjellson. Joined by drummer Trym Torson, they did their first demo in the summer of 1992. Enslaved released the legendary mini album "Hordanes Land" in 1993 (this was released also as a split-CD with Emperor's self-titled MLP). Enslaved's debut album "Vikingligr Veldi" came during the spring of 1994, at the same time the label base was moved to French Osmose Productions, and "Frost" was released late 1994. This all led to the "Winter War Europe Tour '95", and the first Norwegian Black/ Extreme tour ever in the US, Canada and Mexico during '95. The tours were successes, yet Trym Torson had to move on, and joined Emperor.
