ENSLAVED Guitarist IVAR BJØRNSON To Miss Band’s North American Tour

Enslaved will hit the road with Insomnium and Black Anvil in New York, though you won’t be seeing guitarist Ivar Bjørnson with them. According to a statement by Enslaved, Bjørnson is dealing with immediate family issues while the rest of the band goes on tour. We wish Bjørnson all the best with whatever he’s dealing with.

“Dear friends of Enslaved, due to immediate family issues that needed to be taken care of, Ivar was unable to join us for our upcoming tour in the United States and Canada,” wrote Enslaved in their statement. “However, the rest of us have arrived safe and sound on American soil and will proceed with the tour.

“Our voyage starts at Irving Plaza, NYC tomorrow, and since we are reduced to a quartet at the moment, we invite our beloved audience to become the fifth member! Let’s go New York!”
