It’s the second single to be taken off their upcoming studio album Utgard, set to drop on October 2nd. Along with it the band has also shared its official musical video, which pays homage to ancient Norse folklore and sees an Icelandic pristine glacial landscape darkened by sinister events. 

“Utgard bears countless meanings to us; an image, metaphor, an esoteric ‘location’, a word on its own…”says the band on the album. “From Norse mythology we know it as a landscape where the giants roam; where the gods of Asgard have no control; dangerous, chaotic, uncontrollable and where madness, creativeness, humour and chaos dwell.”

“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, 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.”

Last month Enslaved announced their Cinematic Summer Tour. It will feature three digital shows, run in conjunction with three of Europe’s leading festivals.
