Unfortunately, it appears that Enslaved drummer Cato Bekkevold is parting with the band following a 15 year run. His final show will be at this year’s edition of Hellfest.

His reasons for leaving make sense, citing the physical demands of metal drumming at his age and a desire to raise his daughter properly. You can watch his statement through the video below…


“Friends, as many of you have realized by now; there will be some regrouping within the Enslaved-ranks. So, we’ll just let Mr. Bækkevold speak up (you all know he loves to go on and on and on anyway….)”
