Iotunn will release their new record Kinship on October 25 and is now streaming the massive new single "I Feel The Night".
"The creation of Kinship has been the most extensive and wild journey we've ever been part of," said Iotunn guitarist Jesper Gräs. "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."
On the single itself, Gräs added: "'I Feel The Night' is the result of many years searching for a certain kind of song. Big lyrical and musical storylines of songs such as 'Stairway To Heaven,' 'Child In Time,' and 'Fade To Black' – to mention a few – have been at the core of inspiration for Iotunn and we searched to make our song full of dynamics, feelings, and huge storytelling. This is 'I Feel The Night.' Lots of atmosphere and lots of heaviness."
Fellow guitarist Jens Nicolai Gräs added: "When Jesper came up with the two core ideas that the entire first half of the song builds on, it was clear that we should make a song with a mellow verse and heavy chorus. I really enjoy the tone in this song. Then, for the last part of the song, it just kept expanding in the creative process but with the final part everything seemed to reach its natural final breath."
