Announce Dates w/ Weedeater, Play Sound Sound and Fury Fest in Support of New Album, "The Sleeping Eye," out August 4th on Tee Pee Records!
With a maladjusted hardcore assault that's part galloping Motorhead and Clevo Hardcore's Ringworm but with the strength of High On Fire, Iron Age have announced that their new album will be released by Tee Pee Records. - BrooklynVegan
Shortly after announcing their new album, "The Sleeping Eye," set for release on August 4th on Tee Pee Records, as well as their recent Philadelphia and New York shows w/ Sex Vid and Mind Eraser the band who's been stirring up some controversy as of late around the wide world of sports, Austin, Texas' IRON AGE have just announced a series of dates around their home state opening for friends and all around heavy dudes in Weedeater.
In addition, the band has also announced they'll be performing at this year's SOUND AND FURY FESTIVAL taking place in Los Angeles from July 31st - August 2nd with some of our favorite bands including Trash Talk, Floorpunch, Blacklisted, Ceremony, Shai Hulud, and many more.
With The Sleeping Eye, Iron Age remains a modern torchbearer for the long tradition established by the crossover classics (Corrosion of Conformity's Animosity, Crumbsuckers' Life of Dreams, Cro-Mags' Best Wishes, etc), but twists the influential NYHC-inspired thrash of their debut to create something bigger and darker, enhancing the violence of their former efforts with mammoth Lovecraftian atmopshere. Gargantuan guitar riffs conjure images of astral behemoths while unnamed terrors lurk in the unwavering, resolute rhythm section. The demon doesn't truly emerge though until the blood-curdling, blasphemous growls of Jason Tarpey crawl to the startling forefront. Fans of the vocal madness of King Diamond or G.I.S.M.'s Sakevi can rejoice at this reverb-drenched shrieking.
The Sleeping Eye is a sprawling modern heavy metal opus that doesn't forsake its hardcore roots, but follows them to their sonic extremities, forging a sound that honors the crossover forefathers while treading new ground in brutal atmosphere and doomy ambiance.
