MyGen Profile GeneratorWelcome to the Myspace site of Jotun.
JOTUN
The name Jotun is taken from Norse Mythology. The Jotun were a race of giants in opposition to the Gods of the time. The band has influences rooted in the classic metal bands of recent years. Metallica, Slayer, Testament, In Flames, Lamb of God, Mastodon, and the like, all combine together to give Jotun a unique blend of sounds and styles
The band's lineup is Simon Mitchell (Guitars & Vocals), Alex Collins (Guitars & Vocals), and Kieran Mitchell (Bass & Backing Vocals).
2007 was a good year for Jotun, their debut gig at the Golden Cross in Coventry generated a record number of noise pollution complaints from the surrounding neighbourhood, which was pleasing to both the band and the audience in attendance. Jotun have built on the success of their debut and never looked back, support slots alongside the likes of The Mirimar Disaster (Undergroove Records), Errander (In At The Deep End Records), Carrion of Vigrid, Carpathia, Castor Troy, Fume, Mel Gimpsuit, have further helped the band hone their live performances into a blisteringly tight metal act. The band has also headlined an unsigned band showcase at The Charlotte in Leicester.
2008 started with the departure of their original drummer Andy Hardie, but the rest of the band has continued on and have just completed their first demo, March of the Giants, which was entirely self-produced. The band are now looking for a new drummer to complete the lineup, so they can start gigging again and take their unique brand of metal to the masses.
The rest of 2008 is set to be another great year for Jotun, so become one of the Giants, so you can say you were there from the start!
Stay fucking metal!
