To those who may be asking why there's a another re-release of IRON MAN's second album within a relatively short time, I can give a simple answer. Due to the sudden decline of Leaf Hound Records, who released the first edition, it is now almost as difficult to find ...
There is little to no doubt that IRON MAN's first album had become a classic over the years. Originally released in 1993 by Hellhound Records, 'Black Night' showed once more the musical variety of Maryland's heavy rock/doom scene. Although all bands from that federal state in the USA ...
Just as the name is unusual, so too is the music of this Belgium improvisational band. However, iH8 CAMERA is more like a musical collective than a real band and, even if their music had been influenced by early Pink Floyd, Neu! or Ash Ra Tempel they don't belong to the ...
With its fourth album, Maryland's IRON MAN reaches top performance levels. This does not mean that the previous releases have been bad, especially the last one with the title 'Submission' gave us a taste of the indisputable technical abilities of the new ...
It's been seven years ago when I received a copy of IRON GIANT's debut album 'No Longer Sleeping'. This album didn't blew me away, but it was a pretty good start. Heavy guitars, raw vocals and plenty of grooves reminded me to bands like later COC and Orange Goblin and it ...
I'm not sure if IRONWEED have named themselves after the novel by William Kennedy or if they've just smoked some strong grass, but one thing is for sure: the band was born from the ashes of Greatdayforup. 'Indian Ladder' is their debut for Small Stone Records in 2008 and the most ...
Sometimes it’s unbelievable how good Small Stone Record’s taste in good music is. This time it’s the debut album from IOTA, a heavy psych three piece from the USA., which has been released in 2008. ‘Tales‘ consists of five cuts with a different running time between three and almost twenty-four minutes, ...
All my praises goes out to Leaf Hound Records for re-releasing some of the most important Doom Metal albums of all times. Among this classics we also find the two albums of IRON MAN, which have been released on Hellhound Records in the early 90's. Originally released in 1994 'The Passage' ...
The roots of Maryland's mighty IRON MAN go back to the late 70's, when guitarist Alfred Morris III formed Force, but the group never released anything official. Then in 1987, Alfred Morris III decided to start a Black Sabbath tribute band, and a name like IRON MAN couldn't have been more ...
Oh, holy mother nature, what for an impressive piece of epic doom metal do we have here! I’m still overwhelmed from ISOLE’s first album „Forevermore“, but this one is more than a dignified successor. Not only the production is top-notch, but also the complete song arrangements as well as the entire ...
