Ohio based melodic deathcore band The Jötunn (ex-Salt The Wound, Hespera, Years of Fire, The Dagger Rebellion, System Divide) have released their debut EP “Graveworshipper” The band is composed of performances by Paul Kahan (Vocals), Shawn Kahan (Guitar), Cole Martinez (Guitar/Bass) and Nick Amato (Drums). The quintet is self engineered with production and mixing by Martinez who is known for his production work with bands such as Whitechapel, Aborted, Salt The Wound, Above This Fire and System Divide. Mastering was done by Josh Schroeder (Lorna Shore, See You Next Tuesday, For The Fallen Dreams). Additional Engineering was done by Knox Fields Conley. Artwork was done by renowned artist Björn Bauer. The band is releasing “Graveworshipper” online through iTunes, Bandcamp, Spotify, etc. as well as physically through their merch store via CD and limited edition cassettes.
The band came in the wake of guitarist Shawn Kahan catching Covid-19 and thinking his life was coming to an end. He wrote a handful of songs as an epitaph of sorts. Showing his brother, vocalist Paul Kahan, they decided to pursue a project out of the songs. Utilizing their love for all things horror and teaming up with Martinez and Amato, they are looking to take these horrors from Shawn’s brush with death and bring this project en masse.
