The Norwegian progressive metal band Enslaved has announced a co-headlining tour with the Icelandic band Sólstafir, accompanied by the Norwegian band Gaahls Wyrd as the opening act. The three bands will tour the United Kingdom and Europe in February 2027.
Enslaved is touring in support of their new album “Mið,” which will be released on October 30 via Nuclear Blast Records. Sólstafir is touring in support of their latest album, “Hin helga kvöl.”
Enslaved’s new album “Mið”—an Old Norse word for “center” or “middle”—marks a further departure from the familiar and a new beginning. The band has always explored states of transition, not least on the thematically interconnected, mythologically inspired albums “Utgard” (2020) and “Heimdal” (2023).
“Hin helga kvöl” combines Sólstafir’s signature melancholic sound with elements from their past, creating an album that is both reflective and innovative—not only in its range but also in its songwriting. At the heart of “Hin helga kvöl” are the band’s emotive and captivating personal performances, which underscore Sólstafir’s ability to seamlessly blend genres into something previously unknown.
