Enslavement of Beauty is a gothic/black metal band from Norway.
The
band was formed in January 1995 by Ole Alexander Myrholt (vocals & lyrics) and Tony Eugene Tunheim (guitars &
composing).
Enslavement OF Beauty combines synthesized instruments with guitars and a somewhat throathy
black-metal vocal. The instrumentalizations are very orchestral, rich, and intense. The lyrics are usually concerned with
sex and love and generally consist of a very rapid and angry/sad rhyming poetry.
The band spent the subsequent years composing and recording material
and thereby developed their expression. In the summer of 1998, Enslavement of Beauty recorded the demo CD "Devilry & Temptation"
which gained them a deal with Head Not Found / Voices of Wonder. This resulted in the 1999 release "Traces o' Red" which received
very positive response.
In November 2000, the beauticians headed back to the studio to record their second album, "Megalomania", accompanied by
drummer Asgeir Mickelson (Borknagar/Spiral Architect) and bass player Hans-Åge Holmen. Musically the band still sounds very
melodic and deeply inspired by classical music but with a sharper metal edge and a truly hell-bent rock 'n' roll attitude.
Lyrically Enslavement of Beauty is more direct approach but still highly influenced by the poetic beauty of Shakespeare
and De Sade's works.
