ENSLAVED - Grutle Kjellson talks ‘Heimdal’ the album, philosophy and Krautrock in Metal | INTERVIEW

Hey there guys, been a minute I know but ahead of their performance at Incineration Festival on May 13th I wanted to, at last, unveil my interview with Grutle. We talked all about ‪@enslaved‬ 's brand new album Heimdal, how it expands their sound musically and of course the mythos surrounding this enigmatic idea.
I will say that there were a couple of problems with Grutle’s line so there is a slight lag but I did as much as I could to fix it. Anyway, hope you enjoy the chat and let me know in the comments below 👇 Subscribe bit.ly/Subscrib...

Nice interview! I've listened to this album so many times by now. Pretty sure I'd rate this among Enslaved's 4-5 best albums, and that is saying something.

Nice interview! He's such a fun guy and really interesting to listen.
I agree with you that it's an hard album to listen to but it keeps getting better and better. Hope to catch them live soon!
