Danish/Faroese epic progressive metal collective Iotunn are pleased to unveil their video for “Earth To Sky.” The crushingly stunning track is featured on the band’s “Kinship” full-length, out now on Metal Blade Records!
A monolithic album arising from the primeval sea, Iotunn’s “Kinship” is 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.
This song is, in many ways, inspired by the tradition of film music. It is progressive and yet simple at its core and presents a sound full of themes, moods, and feelings which truly unfold in the mid-sections but are constantly present throughout. When we were done with the album, we all got hit by this one in a very special way which we had not foreseen, and we found it to be a natural single from the Kinship album. It holds many things which we hold dearly, includes many of the core ingredients which is IOTUNN, and it has some of the most brutal metal of the album.

This song is built on two connected ideas except a couple of minor detours, so it’s a way of writing that we’ve done before – to see how many colors we can paint within very limited settings. As it turned out, the frame got bigger and bigger and rich on motifs, and it’s got lots of cool transitions. Jens Nicolai
