May 10, 2024 sees progressive metal veterans IVANHOE release their much-awaited, new album, “Healed By The Sun” via Massacre Records. Available as CD Digipak, Ltd. Vinyl LP and Digital formats, the pre-sale has just recently started at https://lnk.to/healedbythesun

After the band assigned “One Ticket To Paradise” with their latest, first album single, today, IVANHOE present us a second track taken of “Healed By The Sun”! A lyric video for “Headnut” is premiering below, the song is out now on all digital streaming providers at: https://ivanhoe.bfan.link/headnut

“Headnut” describes the psychological burden of COVID, from the restrictions caused by lockdowns, the uncertainty in dealing with governments as well as the psychological consequences and how we deal with them. We weep for the victims while “the beast” roams hungrily around the globe. Our dreams and plans fall short and we see them burning like a light (candle). (As in “Healed By The Sun”, the light is again manifested as hope and healing, which is solidified in the album’s title),” says new IVANHOE member, guitarist Chris Lorey.

Musically, “Headnut” is one of the heavier, faster and more profound songs on the album and explores new paths. It’s more metal than progressive but still features the typical IVANHOE riffing. Chris already worked on this song when he was not yet part of the band.

Although “Healed By The Sun” introduces new band members Chris Lorey and drummer Mathias Biehl, the songwriting process turned out to be a journey back to the roots of the band. Revisiting all previous IVANHOE albums, according to the band, yet the songs on “Healed By The Sun” are catchier and more accessible, and the compositions more sophisticated. Their ninth studio offering was produced by Giovanni Soulas and Lorey, and was mixed and mastered by Andy Horn at The Red Room Studios. The cover artwork was created by Michael Krebes.
