Swedish supergroup IRONMASTER, has dropped an official lyric video for its new single “Monolithic Suppressor Engage”. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming album “Weapons Of Spiritual Carnage” – the follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut “Thy Ancient Fire” (February 2022) – out on April 28th via Black Lion Records. Featuring current and ex-members of DARK FUNERAL, SCAR SYMMETRY, RAUBTIER, CARNAL FORGE and FACEBREAKER, this strong follow up album is a natural continuation of the path taken on the band’s debut album.
This time there is even more Death, more Black and more Thrash, the performance level from all the band members has risen a notch compared to the previous album. More powerful and faster than ever at times but the flow of the album has been the focal point of the whole writing and reording process. Everything has been done with the album format in mind so that the experience when you listen thru the album from front to back will be a good and memorable one.
Edvin Skårud has written all the lyrics (except for one song) on this album, his dark and masterful lyrics deal with death, cruelty and the dark side of life, and the blackness of one’s soul.
The band comments on the song: “This Black-Thrash song on the album has some King Diamond inspired guitar in the chorus that’s a bit unusual for us, but adds an evil flavor to the whole thing.”
“Weapons Of Spiritual Carnage” was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Blacklounge Studios between May 2021 and October 2022 by Jonas Kjellgren.
