Danish/Faroese progressive metallers IOTUNN today unveil “Iridescent Way” and its accompanying video. The moving acoustic track appears on the band’s second full-length album, Kinship, set for release on October 25th through Metal Blade Records.
IOTUNN’s Kinship is a massive album arising from the primeval sea. It’s a mythological journey through eight tracks that span immense spheres both musically and lyrically, exploring the deep roots of human nature, its connection and disconnection with everything and everyone, and how our choices have always defined ourselves and the lives lived.
Comments guitarist Jesper Gräs on “Iridescent Way,” “It has been our wish for years to make an acoustic song. [Guitarist] Jens Nicolai [Gräs] and I have origins in playing classical guitar and this, combined with the folk tradition in the North as well as in the West as such, has been a huge gift and inspiration throughout the years. The intro and outro part came to me in a dream, and I woke up and played it. It laid a foundation for this song which is very special to the whole band, and we hold it very dearly.
Jens Nicolai agrees, “It’s clearly a stand-out song on the album. Finally, we pulled ourselves together to do something like this. There’s no brave or out-of-box decisions here. Just us doing something that also feels natural to us.”

IOTUNN’s "Kinship" is a massive album arising from the primeval sea. It’s a mythological journey through eight tracks that span immense spheres both musically and lyrically, exploring the deep roots of human nature, its connection and disconnection with everything and everyone, and how our choices have always defined ourselves and the lives lived.
Notes guitarist Jesper Gräs, "The creation of Kinship has been the most extensive and wild journey we’ve ever been part of. Like trekking up the Galdhøpiggen mountain in Norway, we have crossed peak after peak and seen things continuously brighter and wider until we reached the top, the end. Never have we been prouder and more pleased, and we hope our fans - old and new - will take this album into their hearts and let it unfold from there.”
Set in primeval time, Kinship unfolds the story of a tribesman who is part of a prehistoric tribe. It tells the story of life’s many conditions as themes of unity/disunity, light/dark, body/mind, nature/culture, good/evil, creation/destruction, and human/inhuman unfold throughout the album.
“Everything is related, everything has an impact, and we all must find our ways to our true selves and true freedoms in our choices in this interconnectedness of everything,” elaborates vocalist Jón Aldará. “The album explores themes of conformity versus following your own path and the consequences your choices have for relationships. It is also a consideration of the mind-body connection; especially with regards to how you interact within yourself, how you are influenced and controlled by the arenas of life and the interaction with nature. All this influences your identity, your choices, and your individuality.”

Majestic. Can't wait for full album release.
magic song
Спасибо!!!! Супер!!!
Beautiful. Thanks Iotunn 🤘
Beautiful
I dont doubt this has been stated before, but it's my first introduction to the band and damn if I dont hear shades of Roy Khan (while still having an original sound) and that's one of the best compliments I can give. This is fantastic.
You should listen to his OG band. Its called Hamferd (the d is the icelandic one)
Ancient music 😢😢😢❤❤
Iotunn always gives me Goosebumps!!
Can't wait for that Album to come!

Since several years I'm a big fan of Hammered because of Jon. In my Eyes he's nearly the best Voice in this universe!! I'm absolutely happy about the formation of Iotunn with Jon as new Singer and ACCESS ALL WORLDS is one of the Best Releases I've ever heard. "The Tower of Cosmic Nihility" is my absolutely favourit, but the refrain of this Song is so exaggerated beautiful😍😍 I can't get enough of this and can't wait of the release of the whole Album🤩🤩 BIG BIG CINEMA🖤💥

Missing the drums, and the metal. Look, it's not a bad song, but not what I am interested in or excepted from Iotunn. It seems bland coming from them without distorted riffs, soaring leads, skilled drumming, and prime death vocals mixed with some great clean vocals and occasional acoustic parts to help accentuate the heavier parts.
the album is pretty long, will be plenty of that...
