Our Take
Our Take
In their latest opus, "Heimdalin," Norwegian black metal veterans Enslaved prove that they are still at the top of their game. The album's opening track, "Fenris," sets the tone with its relentless blast beats and furious riffing, showcasing the band's trademark blend of aggression and melody.
As the album progresses, Enslaved delve deeper into Norse mythology, with tracks like "Freya" and "Loki" summoning ancient gods and demons with their hypnotic grooves and haunting vocals. The band's musicianship is top-notch, with guitarist Ivar Bjørnson and drummer Cato Bekkevold showcasing their technical prowess on tracks like "Odin" and "Frigg."
But what truly sets "Heimdalin" apart is its sense of atmosphere. From the icy windswept plains of Midgard to the fiery depths of Muspelheim, Enslaved paint a vivid picture of the world of Norse mythology through their music. The production is crisp and clear, allowing every instrument to shine through, while the vocals of Grutle Kjellson soar above the chaos like a Valkyrie on the battlefield.
Overall, "Heimdalin" is a triumphant return to form for Enslaved, proving that they are still a force to be reckoned with in the world of black metal. Fans of the genre will not be disappointed, as this album is a true masterpiece of epic proportions. So grab your mead horn, don your battle gear, and prepare for a sonic journey through the Nine Realms with Enslaved as your guide. Skål!

Enslaved are not your typical black metal band. Hailing from Norway, this eclectic group has been pushing the boundaries of the genre since the early 90s. Known for their progressive and experimental approach to music, Enslaved have carved out a unique niche for themselves in the metal scene. With a discography that spans over 14 albums, Enslaved have proven time and time again that they are not afraid to take risks and explore new sonic territories. From their early black metal roots to their more recent forays into progressive rock, Enslaved have never been content to rest on their laurels. One of the standout features of Enslaved's music is their use of intricate melodies and complex arrangements. Their songs are a masterclass in dynamics, seamlessly blending intense aggression with moments of introspection and beauty. Enslaved are also known for their thought-provoking lyrics, which tackle topics ranging from Norse mythology to environmentalism. This intellectual approach to songwriting sets them apart from many of their peers in the metal world. But don't let their intellectual lyrics fool you - Enslaved know how to bring the raw energy and power of a live performance. Their shows are a high-octane mix of blistering riffs, thunderous drums, and guttural screams that are sure to leave you breathless. In short, Enslaved are a band that defies categorization and transcends genre boundaries. Their music is a journey, a sonic adventure that will challenge and inspire you in equal measure. So strap in, crank up the volume, and let Enslaved take you on a ride you won't soon forget.
