Traditional doom metal aficionados will be happy to learn
that the legendary group, Iron Man, is working on new material. Today on their
Facebook page and YouTube channel, they released a video of a new song
performed recently at a benefit show in Brunswick, MD. The song, “A Whore in Confession,” is
still a something of a work in progress, says original Iron Man Al Morris III.
“What you hear in the video may not be exactly how it ends up sounding on the
recording,” Morris says. Even so,
the band wanted to give its fan base something new since, their last recording,
a self-released EP called Dominance, came out in January 2011. Morris says 2012 looks like a busy year
for the doom metal stalwarts. A new drummer, Jason “Mot” Waldmann, came on
board in January 2012. The group is slated to perform with Blizaro, Blood
Ceremony, Loviatar, Monobrow and Revelation at All That’s Heavy II festival in
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on May 12. They will be heading to the studio to record
a full-length album and more extensive touring is in the works. Their next local show will be at Lallo's in Brunswick, MD on March 3 with Trifecta and Children of the Grave.
