Enslaved’s 16th album, Heimdal, continues their progressive evolution while honouring their black metal roots. Named after the enigmatic Norse gatekeeper, the album explores transitions—between past and future, light and dark, youth and age. Building on 2020’s Utgard and 2021’s Caravans to the Outer Worlds EP, Heimdal dives deeper into Norse mythology and introspection through a richly layered sonic journey—from icy blackened riffs to psychedelic odysseys and krautrock grooves. It’s a bold, immersive reflection on identity and transformation, marking another fearless chapter in Enslaved’s 30-year voyage.
