English term or phrase: inevitably headed

The latter of these ideas almost sound like the beginning phases of Pelican's The Fire in Our Throat Will Beckon the Thaw, and one could conjecture that this is where Mortimur was inevitably headed, though it seems unlikely that a band with the aforementioned influences would settle with such elementary goals in mind.

Selected answer:unavoidably going in this direction

Explanation:
Although you really have to include the previous paragraph, in general "where Mortimur was inevitably headed" ..... means that it was unavoidable that Mortimur would go in the directino that they did. if you would include some more of the passage maybe i can be more specific

the direction (in terms of sound) in which the group is clearly developing

Explanation:
We are talking about rock bands here, I think. What is being said is that the band Mortimur sounds as if it is going to develop into the same kind of sound as Pelican in the music mentioned.
