Official press release:
Under the starry skies of Copenhell 2023, Danish/Faroese progressive metal outfit IOTUNN took the stage by storm with a performance already etched into the festival’s history. A sea of specially designed laser beams cut through the night, as the band delivered some of their most majestic and emotional compositions – a concert experience that elevated both the audience and the music to cosmic heights.
Now, IOTUNN releases this unforgettable moment as a live album: Waves Over Copenhell. The album captures the intensity, the magic, and the unique atmosphere that can only arise when music meets the night sky and thousands of devoted souls gather before the stage.
With this release, IOTUNN invites fans and new listeners alike into the heart of a concert where time and space dissolved, and where the energy of metal was transformed into a radiant ritual under the open sky. This is more than a live album – it is a monument to a band in their true element: raw, majestic, and unforgettable.
