IOTUNN invites you on an expedition into the cosmos. Based on mythical and primordial philosophical themes, IOTUNN wanders along the paths of science fiction, classic heavy metal, progressive motifs, grand atmospheric layers, and melodic extreme metal.

IOTUNN invites you on an expedition into the cosmos. The band has been showered with praise for their album "Access All Worlds" and their live performances, always providing an exclusive experience with their wide range of expressions and sublime stage presence. Drawing on mythical and primordial philosophical themes, IOTUNN navigates paths of science fiction, classic heavy metal, progressive motifs, grand atmospheric landscapes, and melodious extreme metal. Their music prompts us to pause and question everything we take for granted, reflecting on the complexity and fragility of humanity – whether to continue our fleeting pursuits in this temporal world or seek connection with and submit to eternity.

Following the release of their second album "Kinship," the progressive, melodious extreme metallers IOTUNN will play a few but significant and exclusive headliner concerts in early 2025 at some of the country's finest venues – Pumpehuset in Copenhagen and Godset in Kolding.

With "Kinship," IOTUNN has released a deep and ambitious artistic work. The album weaves a mythological narrative drawing on themes of human nature, connection, separation, the weight of choices, all while maintaining the core identity of the band. Across eight songs, the album traverses vast sonic and lyrical landscapes.

"Kinship" follows a tribal man in ancient times, taking us on a journey through mysterious and grand natural settings. In its epic compositions, the protagonist navigates through misty forests, vast desolate deserts, and into an endless soul-journey in space, longing for true inner peace within himself and his surroundings. This introspective quest unfolds in harmony with the wondrous environments as the protagonist seeks to understand his origins and true place in the world – a journey fraught with immense challenges and perhaps never-ending.

IOTUNN has previously impressed both domestically and internationally. In Denmark, they recently headlined Copenhagen Metal Fest in September, and in 2023, they showcased an impressive laser show at COPENHELL. Internationally, the band has performed at festivals such as 70,000 Tons of Metal, Summer Breeze, and Midgardsblot, and supported Insomnium in Germany and Norway.

Thus, a deeply experienced band embarks on a tour of Denmark in January 2025.

Support: BLODMÅNE
Blodmåne started as a solo project but evolved into a full band a year ago.

As they work on music for their debut EP as a full band, they are ready to spread their blackened death metal across Danish stages!
