UNCUT 2024 INTERVIEW with GRUTLE KJELLSON (ENSLAVED)
Uncut interview with GRUTLE KJELLSON (ENSLAVED)
Interview conducted on September 5, 2024.
Enslaved is set to return to Brazil in November, bringing with them their acclaimed blend of black metal and progressive rock. With over three decades of career, the band led by vocalist and bassist Grutle Kjellson continues to defy genre conventions, always seeking new ways to reinvent themselves. Their latest album, "Heimdal," explores themes of Norse mythology with a musical and lyrical approach that departs from previous works, reflecting the band's constant desire for artistic evolution. Completed by Ivar Bjørnson (guitar), Arve Isdal (guitar), Håkon Vinje (vocals and keyboards), and Iver Sandøy (drums), the quintet has created a sound that is both familiar and fresh.
In the interview you are about to watch, Kjellson emphasizes the band's aversion to being confined to pre-established formulas. For him, creating the same album repeatedly would be uninteresting for both Enslaved and their fans. With "Heimdal," the band not only explores ancient concepts of mythology but also advances its sound by incorporating influences from 1970s krautrock and progressive rock, without losing its extreme metal roots.
Additionally, Enslaved promises a memorable show in Brazil, despite the inevitably high temperatures that Kjellson humorously anticipates. For those who have followed the band's trajectory, this will be a unique opportunity to experience live the power of a group that, after nearly 35 years of career, remains relevant and innovative in the global metal scene.

    It’s just good to see Marko come through the other side of his ‘mid-life crisis’ - next, nostalgia will come to mess with his head. It’s not uncommon for creative souls to feed off the positive affirmation of those that admire the things we do - and we all do it for attention to varying degrees, and we’re all affected by the negative too, and it’s usually around 3:30am when the human body is a it’s lowest ebb, if the mind is awake (as it so often is as we age) then deep sleep is affected, we don’t rest fully, we no longer feel the same natural ‘high’ from the things we do, life can become very miserable very quickly, anxiety takes over and it’s a frightening position for an otherwise confident man to be in - it can be a very surreal and disturbing period in a person’s life - a time of great change. I’m glad he came through it relatively quickly, but it’s still a journey in progress, on average taking up to ten years to complete - happiness does return though, for most. It’s encouraging to listen to him as he learns new things about himself and people in general - life is no picnic, especially after it’s felt like a picnic for quite some time. I wish him all the best for his future, he’s in charge of his own destiny, nobody else - but he likes to please other’s - he’s clearly learned to say ‘no’ more often, I’m very happy for him.
