NEWS: Ironstone avoid the lasers…

Melbourne Progressive Metalcore outfit Ironstone have released a new single titled  “Deadly Laser”, which begins a fresh chapter for the band with a recently altered line up. Mixed by Christopher Vernon and mastered by Acle Kahney of Tesseract, the song marks their first since their sophomore EP ‘The Place I Cannot Find’ premiered in October 2022. Having found themselves at a crossroads, former lead guitarist and songwriter Edward Warren steps  into the position of lead vocalist while his brother Perry Warren returns to the outfit after a three year hiatus to fill his position on lead guitar. New member Sam Angove joins on bass leaving original member Jackson Whyte on drums.

Vocalist Edward Warren comments: “Life itself is an incredibly delicate balance and we don’t stop to think about the sheer improbability of our existence. This song was intended to serve as a reminder of the beauty and fragility of our world, urging us not to take for granted the sliver of ozone layer that protects us from a raging star. There’s an irony that the very thing providing us with warmth and nourishment could under slightly different circumstances erase all life on earth. Even though it has a dark, menacing tone, at the end of the day the message is an artistic expression of gratitude, wrapped in a melodramatic warning.”
