Speaking exclusively with Metal Sucks about the new track, Hannes states, “This song is probably one of the catchiest songs I’ve written so far. Still, you can clearly hear my signature. Hence I’m stoked to share this new single from my upcoming album with you all.” Going on, he adds, “The new album features my most melodic, heaviest material so far. Compared to my previous releases, I focussed even more on straightforward songwriting than ever before.
"In The Glacier's Eye" is off of Hannes' new studio record, 'To Where The Light Retreats', which will be released independently on June 1, 2021. PRE-ORDER HERE
