Enslaved Announce New Studio Album ‘Utgard’ And Album Artwork
Written by Johnson Stephen on March 26, 2020
Enslaved have announced that their new studio album ‘Utgard’ via Nuclear Blast is set to be released Autumn 2020.
Enslaved’s official statement reads as follows:
“Due to the current situation, we took the decision together with our label Nuclear Blast to postpone the release of ‘Utgard’ to the fall of 2020. Therefore, as you can imagine, the whole schedule had to be adjusted quickly! We are sure you understand that this is for the best. In the meantime, we’d like to tell you a little more about the ‘Utgard’ cover artwork. This is the ninth consecutive album cover done by Truls Espedal – and like the album itself it is definitely on the wavelength of the long-distance pulse from the Enslaved generator. It is a piece of art that mirrors a massive concept and a band that is also more lyrically and philosophically inspired than ever before. That Truls is a master of his art is established a long time ago, but he has truly outdone himself on this interpretation of our Utgard. Just looking at how the colors and techniques are used to create the depth and grandiosity of the horizon. The perfect travelling companion into these uncharted territories.”
