Band Biographies: Ironthorn

Ironthorn, Hard'n Heavy Metal band formed in 2014 in the Province of Agrigento (Sicily), the band decided to recall, albeit in a modern key, the music of the most famous 80’s/90’s Hard Rock, Heavy and Thrash Metal bands.

Thus began a long musical journey that will bring the band in search of that sound and emotions that today represent the music of Ironthorn, sometimes with classic Hard Rock riffs and Heavy sounds accompanied by a scratchy and melodic vocal line while keeping intact the desire to renew and personalize a genre that has made the history of music and lives in the hearts of many.

All this without adopting too many mental schemes, leaving space to the emotions and contextualizing everything with a very contemporary language and themes.

In synthesis from this research comes the album “After The End”, the first studio work of the Sicilian formation, published on November 30th 2017 and composed by 9 tracks. “After The End” is an album that represents a “concept” that describes society, not infrequently alluding to a power that would plagiarize the minds and to which one can and must rebel. Several topics are treated, including conformism, social alienation, social networks, corrupt politics, all due to the main idea of rebellion. 

The graphic illustration of “After The End” is made by Francesco Montalbano, and acts as a visual feedback for the interlocutor while listening to the CD.

The booklet is in fact a comic book that guides the listener through an experience of full involvement.  

The album was produced by the same Ironthorn and it was recorded, mixed and mastered by "Drakonerius Production" of Maurizio Liberto.

Ironthorn is currently in the studio for the preparation of their next album "Legends of the Ancient Rock" under Sliptrick Records.
