After “The Zealot Gene” of 2022, the band's first album in two decades, Ian Anderson and the band are back with a 12-track record based on the characters and roles of some of the major deities of ancient Norse paganism, while also exploring the “RökFlöte” – rock flute – that Jethro Tull made iconic. The first single from the album was also recently released, along with the splendid animated video for “Ginnungagap” (created by Costin Chioreanu). The song is inspired by the god Ymir, the proto-being, a primordial being, born from the poison that dripped from the frozen rivers called Élivágar and who lived in the grassless void of Ginnungagap.
THE Jethro Tull they first appeared under this name in 1968 in London's famous Marquee Club and from there they immediately managed to build a large following, playing up and down England. The real success – even a bit of a surprise – came at the Sunbury Jazz and Blues Festival in the summer of 1968. Jethro Tull recorded and released their first album, This Was, with the original lineup of Anderson, Cornick, Bunker and Abrahams. After the replacement of Mick Abrahams with Martin Barre, about 30 other musicians took turns in the ranks of Jethro Tull, a brand that survives to this day and lasts over time: Ian Anderson generally performs with the band for about a hundred shows every year around the world.
