ENSLAVED are pleased to announce a month-long, North American co-headline tour with INSOMNIUM. The run will take place in April 2023, shortly after the release of ENSLAVED's new studio album, Heimdal, out March 3rd. Support on the road will come from BLACK ANVIL.
Ivar Bjørnson commented,
"Neither you nor we will BELIEVE how much we are looking forward to coming back to the US of A and Canada in April 2023! We have a new album (and more if you want to be technical), Heimdal, to show you - spoiler alert: it will lay venues waste. Yes, we are that confident. We also have some rather cosmically awesome (!) bands joining the trek in co-headliners INSOMNIUM and support BLACK ANVIL - how could this become anything but the most spectacular event of 2023?"
Tickets will go on-sale Friday December 16th @ 10am (local time).

HEIMHUG - an ENSLAVED Heimdal album release event
Grutle Kjellson commented,
“Sometimes the answers and the truths lie under your very nose, or where the journey starts, where you first set sail towards horizons unknown. This was very much the case when we started working on Heimdal; we stepped back and looked a bit inwards and also at our immediate surroundings, at the area we hail from and where we still dwell today; Hordaland. On these shores people have been living and dying, worshiping and crying, laughing and lying ever since the Stone Age. History has been written here, history will still be written here and we will continue to dwell here until the end of our days.
Built around this historical narrative, Heimdal was created, and on the 3rd of March 2023 we would like to invite you to celebrate the album release with us and pay homage to our history.
Under the “Heimhug”-banner, we’re gonna perform a two-set release concert at USF Bergen with very special guests, we’ll have an art exhibition with the specific photographs and drawings we used for the artwork on the album and also an exclusive showing of last year’s The Otherworldly Big Band Experience.
See you in Bergen in March!
Alu Alu Laukar!"
ENSLAVED's 16th studio album, Heimdal, will be released on March 3rd 2023, via Nuclear Blast Records.

Heimdal tracklisting
- "Behind The Mirror"
- "Congelia"
- "Forest Dweller"
- "Kingdom"
- "The Eternal Sea"
- "Caravans To The Outer Worlds"
- "Gangandi" (Bonus Track)*
- "Heimdal"
Heimdal, is both a departure and a communion with roots forged over three decades ago in the turbulent birth throes of Norway’s black metal scene. The record is named after Heimdal, arguably the most mysterious entity in Nordic mythology.
The record features psychedelic track "Caravans To The Outer Worlds" from last year's EP of the same name. Album bonus versions contain an extra track, "Gangandi", alongside a Blu-Ray copy of 2021's stunning Otherworldly Big Band Experience streamed event - the band's boldest project to date, featuring fellow Norwegian prog band SHAMAN ELEPHANT. The kaleidoscopic stage show features a stellar setlist, covering ENSLAVED's career, both past and present.
