Iotunn interview (10/2024)


With: Jesper Gräs
Conducted by: RaduP (video)
Published: 24.10.2024

Band profile:

Iotunn


One of 2021's biggest surprised was seeing Hamferð's Jón Aldará fronting a progressive metal band on newcomers Iotunn's Access All Worlds, an album I really enjoyed, despite some issues I had with its mixing. Now with a new album out in just a couple of hours, I got to talk with Jesper Gräs about Kinship.

Nice one. This band really stands out. I am surprised at how satisfied he seems to be with the mixing/production, since, to me, it is the only flaw I can find in their -otherwise- splendid albums. I laughed at how you sneakily led him to finally say "David Lynch"

I noticed the comments are off on youtube, maybe keep them on to drive engagement and conversation? I know about trolls and all but that's still engagement

I believe the reason that the comments are off is to have the conversation here, rather than on YouTube. It's a question whether it's better to post video interviews or transcribe them and publish them instead.

We're not looking for engagement. Youtube is a means to host videos for us. What we're interested in is building a community here. Not on Facebook, not on Youtube, and not anywhere else. You will see that our videos aren't monetized, just as we don't run ads on here. We're building a safe space for a great community here on Metal Storm, not trying to drive people into the hands of companies that treat their users as goods. And we're perfectly fine with that being a small community as long as it is an inclusive one with as little toxicity as possible. That doesn't align well with algorithm-driven content providers.
