Only Heavy Metal

020-04-08 - Norway's avantgarde metal heroes ENSLAVED release their new album "Utgard" in fall 2020. Today, the band already reveals new details about the upcoming record that dives the listener deep into the world 'between' as the musicians explain: "'Utgard' bears countless meanings to us; an image, metaphor, an esoteric 'location', a word on its own etc – on different levels and layers. From Norse mythology we know it as a landscape were the giants roam; where the gods of Asgard have no control; dangerous, chaotic, uncontrollable and where madness, creativeness, humor and chaos dwells. The album is a journey into and through 'Utgard'. It is a place of unification of that which is above and that which lies below. It is not about avoiding fear of the pitch-black darkness (it will keep on growing until the next confrontation), but to go into the darkness itself. This is the rebirth of the individual. In a world that has become so obsessed with the false lights of greed, jealousy and egotism this is a necessary journey.
'Utgard' is not a fairytale, it is a vital part of both your mind and your surroundings, and it has been since the dawn of mankind. Acknowledging that this realm exists and is a vital part of the self, has inspired us deeply since the early days of our lives. Enjoy our journey to the outer limits."

2021-08-06 - COSMOS TREMBLED WHEN IT CAME TO BE FUSION OF SENSE AND EARTH...

There is a desert which is very old, very dry, and very dangerous. Few have ever dared to cross it, and fewer have returned. Some say that it is a desert between places, others say that it is a desert between worlds. Those who have crossed it and returned swear that the desert is another world in itself - an astral bridge, which swallows all but the most well-prepared travelers.

Enslaved are such seasoned voyagers. In their last venture, they descended into Utgard, deep in the dark beneath their native Norway. Now, they are preparing to set off again, not down this time, but out. They intend to cross the desert, into it and perhaps beyond it.

Travelling by sonic pathways, Caravan To The Outer Worlds will set off October 1st, inviting the listener to explore the esoteric spaces which call out from just beyond the dunes.

Bergen visionaries Enslaved have announced their 16th studio album, Heimdal, set to be released on March 3rd 2023! Today's news is accompanied by the release of a blistering new single, titled 'Congelia' - watch the video here: https://youtu.be/hfJ0NsUyhKw
