https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7YvaFKKp3QIOTUNN‘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.
The album shows IOTUNN unfold their musical worlds to their fullest scales to date which has been the dream achievement throughout the years creating the album.
“In my mind, Kinship is a grand work of heavy metal art, one that I am very proud to have taken part in creating,” notes drummer Bjørn Wind Andersen. “Musically, it encompasses so many different colors and emotions. It is, in many ways, the music to which I‘ve always dreamt of contributing drums. It is the finest accomplishment this far, for me personally and for the band.”
Bassist Eskil Rask adds, “Kinship marks another monumental milestone for IOTUNN and for myself as a bass player. Our shift to more atmospheric and organic songs has led me to discover new approaches to my instrument and in some areas to reinvent myself as a bass player. I can’t wait to release this record and bring it to the live stages.”
The artwork and art pieces of Kinship were created by ink and graphite illustrator and artist, Saprophial (Hammers Of Misfortune), with the design and layout created by art director Brian Ames at Metal Blade Records. Kinship was mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios Denmark (Arch Enemy, Katatonia, The Black Dahlia Murder, Volbeat, Týr).
