Blodhemn is the fourth studio album by Norwegian metal band Enslaved. It was released in 1998, through Osmose Productions.

Background

The album was produced by Peter Tägtgren, and is the only Enslaved album recorded and produced at his Abyss studio. Allmusic says that Blodhemn is Enslaved's "blackest" album, and a step forward in songwriting, due to its shorter, cleaner songs and compressed sound.[1] Allmusic also describes the song structure as having rock and roll elements in the songs "Urtical Gods" and "Nidingaslakt".[1]
