The album maintains a musical style quite similar to its predecessor In Times (2015), although perhaps a little more melodic and atmospheric, following the base of progressive metal traditional. So, of course, it has a deeper meaning, like person and horse, it symbolises the whole concept of relationships and positive dependency. I guess behind each of those runes there was a meaning, and this particular one means ‘horse’, in mythology the most famous horse is Sleipnir, Odin’s own horse, the one with the eight legs. They (the Vikings) used an alphabet, the runes, twenty-four different symbols that were used both for writing, normal stuff like'this guy owns this few cows' and stuff, and then it was also used for esoteric works, or magic, as it were, in popular history. The concept of the symbol (which means 'horse'), is treated in a certain way in "Sacred Horse".Įnslaved songwriter and guitarist Ivar Bjørnson said: The title of the album represents the initial letter of the band name but written with the runic character ehwaz (similar to 'M') on a minimalist and dark wooden cover art, created by designer and painter Truls Espedal. It was given Norway's 2017 Spellemann Award for best metal album of the year. This would also be the last album with Cato Bekkevold on drums before he quit in 2018. This is the first album recorded without the longtime keyboardist / vocalist Herbrand Larsen since 2004, who left the band in late 2016 and was replaced by Håkon Vinje in 2017.
