On their first album of the 2020s, Utgard, Enslaved made a break from the elaborate long-song prog that had dominated their 2010s output in favour of shorter, more compact, and arguably more accessible songs. If it were another band, perhaps one might have braced for subsequent simplification on future albums, but this is Enslaved we’re talking about, and Heimdal is absolutely not an extension of the trajectory Enslaved went in from E to Utgard.

Never would’ve imagined that the day would come when giving a new Enslaved album a 6/10 would feel like generosity. Holy fuck, did they phone it in with the songwriting on this one. It is a monumentally uninspired album, especially by their own rather high standards. Well-produced and well-performed boredom is all this is to me.
