about

SHADOW KINGDOM RECORDS is proud to present IRON VOID's highly anticipated fourth album, IV, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

"Slow and steady wins the race," and so it is the same in the doom scene. IRON VOID was originally formed by Jonathan "Sealey" and Andy Whittaker (Solstice, The Lamp of Thoth) in 1998 in order to create an old-school doom metal band, worshiping at the altar of doom legends such as Black Sabbath, Saint Vitus, Pentagram, etc. The band re-formed in 2008, and proceeded to release a live album, an EP, and a digital single, each exactly two years apart, before delivering their self-titled debut album in 2014. The Doomsday follow-up came a year later, with 2018's critically acclaimed Excalibur arriving via new label home SHADOW KINGDOM.

Consolidating IRON VOID's position as proud 'n' pure purveyors of dependable doom metal is the aptly titled fourth album, IV. This new record sees the arrival of "new" drummer Scott Naylor, who's actually been with the band since 2018, and who's renown for his work in Reign of Erebus, Heathen Deity, and Atra Mors among others. Together, this new-look power-trio look back to the old, to IRON VOID's roots, and create a stripped-down DOOM METAL album. Whereas Excalibur had a concept encompassing the historical past and legend, IV by contrast takes a long, hard look at everyday matters: real-world themes that are darker and more tangible, particularly in these days of Covid-19 and political unrest across all nations. Musically, IRON VOID match form to content with direct, hard-hitting doom steeped in the old school, but they're equally adept at varying their dynamics whilst retaining their core sound. Like many bands during these dark days, IRON VOID had to write the whole album remotely during lockdown using file-sharing software, something Sealey says was admittedly "probably the hardest record to write" since they'd never previously done such before. However, the recorded results of IV burst with energy and personality, proving that these old dogs are anything but tired!

No other words needed: IRON VOID are doom metal maniacs, for doom metal maniacs. IV is your unlucky number!

Recently discovered this band. IF their back catalogue, is as great as this I'll be adding them to my collection. To my ears they sound like someone has blended early black sabbath with led zepplin's bluesier albums. A much welcome trip to the 70s hard blues heavy metal. welshwizzardd
