Danish progressive power metal band Iotunn have released a 12-minute ‘Acoustic Medley’ performance video containing acoustic arrangements for all seven songs from the band’s latest album Access All Worlds. Featuring guitarists Jesper Gräs and Jens Nicolai Gräs, the clip can be viewed below.
Iotunn issued debut full-length studio album Access All Worlds on February 26th, 2021 through Metal Blade Records.
The outing can be streamed in its entirety via YouTube below.
Access All Worlds was mixed and mastered by Fredrik Nordström at Fredman Studios in Gothenburg, Sweden.
“We wanted to make an epic, strong and atmospheric yet rocking record both musically and lyrically,”said guitarist Jens Nicolai Gräs. “Jón [Aldará, vocals] came with the idea based on space travelers trying to find answers to the apocalypse, which reflects many of the impressions, feelings and thoughts human life holds that originates from something vast, mysterious, chaotic and breathtakingly spectacular. Everything just went berserk regarding the album theme. Is everything occurring in the lyrics just a dream? Is the album an allegory for any individual’s chapters in life? Where does the album actually start and end? Stuff like that. We find that the album can be interpreted in various ways. For us, the album is a truly exciting journey, and we hope it will be for the listener as well, on his or her own terms.”
Cover artwork duties fell to Eliran Kantor, with design and layout by Nicole Kantor.
