Dänemarks IOTUNN verbinden auf ziemlich einzigartige Weise Death und epischen, beinahe opernhaften Metal. Ihr neuer Longplayer “ Access All Worlds“, von dem auch ‘The Weaver System‘ stammt, ist gestern erschienen.

IOTUNN kommentieren den Song so:

“‘Weaver’ has been in our creative loops for several years since back when Jesper came up with the very first clean guitar part. We always knew it would appear on our debut album. For us, it’s an album highlight on its own terms, and to this day, it still sounds fresh to us. With Jón’s vocals and lyrics, the composition has found its home, and when Costin did his visual art and film, ‘Weaver’ got weaved into new spheres and perspectives. We are very proud of this collaboration and hope you’ll like what you see and hear!”

Lyrics:

A howl runs on glistening tethers

That hold this utopia

Shadowed in vast lilac fields

Returns again as light from afar

 

Here the weavers discovered paradise

Created and immortalized their bonds

No fear of night

Erected heavenly armory

The weavers erased their parasites

Denied the politics of I

Saw with higher light

That flows continuous undefined

 

I am witnessing a depth where thought and speech prevails

Above the whispered solar crosswind

Free to access all worlds

Gently sways the Garganey

 

Above the whispered solar crosswind

Glazed with cosmic rays

The old world so far away and now

Before we forget, we must build a passage from starlight to firelight

 

Here the weavers discovered paradise

Created and immortalized their bonds

No fear of night

Erected heavenly armory

The weavers erased their parasites

Denied the politics of I

Saw the higher light that flows eternally

 

What is lost, recovered

All is lost when uncovered
