"Hliðskjálf" (in English, Hidden Opening into Asgard or Secret Ritual-Site) is an album by Norwegian black metal solo project Burzum. This album was the second to be recorded by Varg Vikernes while he was imprisoned for murder and arson.

Vikernes has said that he will no longer make music, at least under the name Burzum, making "Hliðskjálf" likely to be the final Burzum album.Fact|date=September 2007 However, in a May 2005 interview, Vikernes said he will most likely continue to make music after his release in a typical metal style. [ [http://www.metalcrypt.com/pages/interviewsframe.php?intid=170 The Metal Crypt ] ] He also mentioned that "Dauði baldrs" and "Hliðskjálf" were created with synthesized instruments as he was not allowed any other instruments while being imprisoned.
