Twilight is the latest single from Danish/Faroese progressive metal collective IOTUNN. The epic new track comes off the band’s second full-length album, Kinship, set for release on October 25 through Metal Blade Records.
“Somehow this song is coherent, but it’s got lots of twists and turns and references within its own frame. It’s always very exciting to be in search of the perfect balance when there’s too many ingredients. Also, it’s a rocking song that’s going to be fun to play at concerts,” comments guitarist Jens Nicolai Gräs.
Guitarist Jesper Gräs further elaborates, “‘Twilight’ is all about energy. The fundamental main riff was written during the time right after [Motörhead’s] Lemmy [Kilmister] died and I wrote this to celebrate his legend and musical influence. From the get-go, it was about high speed, flow, and groove and with the creative process together with Jens Nicolai and later the full band, it evolved into soundscapes of atmosphere as we know it from the IOTUNN sound – combining the heavy metal with the atmospheres. Lots of Nordic touches to it; lots of epic-ness.”
