Iron Firmament (US) - S/T (Album 2024)

- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- After two excellent EP releases unleashed in 2023, Iron Firmament opens the new year with its debut full-length release, and what a triumphant start it is.
A more mature and exploratory piece of work, Iron Firmament's debut does an absolutely stellar work in upholding the old spirit of 90s Black Metal, its pitch darkness and irreverent might, gathering inspiration from projects like Judas Iscariot, and German Black Metal, creating a powerfull call to spiritual war and enlightenment to force that is also not so different than Taurus's works under Fellwinter or Arbor.
This belligerent spirit seeks inspiration from the highness of the stars and the wisdom of the earth through plaintive and dreamy passages characterized by medieval folk and ethereal ambiance that is also definitely reminiscing of old school Dungeon Synth but also some Cascadian Black Metal projects, while some riffs sometimes have a more swirling, serpentine, melodic approach which also brings to mind Kestrel or Grizelda.
Absolutely fantastic release, put out on digital by the band and tape and digital via Wergild.

Their 2 demos/EPs were some of my favorites of '23. So glad to see a full length from them. They're not necessarily the most "original" band but they're so good at what they do and write compelling songs.
Hail Iron Firmament ⚔️
Absolutely love this project. As others have said the first two EPs were ridiculously good and this doesn't disappoint either.
Really good. Reminds me a bit of Taurus his stuff. Hails!
Treasure: unearthed.
Killer record... keeping the flame alive🔥🗡🔥
Best album of the year already!
Incredible album. Ideal in pretty much every way.
Starting the year very strong. So good!
Wahnsinnig gut ❤️🐺🔥
I enjoyed the other material but I found this full length so good!
L'univers du black métal est vertigineux. De par la profusion de groupes qui fleurissent des 4 coins de la planète. Certes, la qualité n'est pas toujours au rendez-vous ; mais y'a tellement a boire et à manger que tout le monde peut y trouver chaussure à son pied. Bon projet ricain, sincère.
Floating Isles is a banger! The ambient section kinda reminds me of Nacht und Gnosis.
It does! Well spotted
great album!!
Beautiful
Ugh! So good!!
Fantastic, brilliant album to start the year on. Hope this gets a vinyl treatment down the line, but until then, just bought the tape!
Underground very Good!
This is one of the best releases from the last months? Really surprised!
Definitely up there for sure!
A vinyl treatment of this would be nice @urtodvoid 🔥
@@DMZNMC I would be your man indeed. Cheers!
So good, it reminds me of the old 90s French stuff...
Track 8 reminds me of Mastodon a bit. Cool stuff right here
Spoilt with the amount of delicious riffs in this album, the intro riff to Wyvern Pits is particularly great.
Its like a perfect mix of Judas Iscariot, Hate Forest, and maybe some Goatmoon. Beautiful.
О хо, начало конкретное
Nice chords .W0w
Muito bom

NASTY!
why do people keep calling this a 2024 release? It was released in DEC 2023 on WERGILD bandcamp
On their bandcamp:
"WERGILD MMXXIV
released January 5, 2024"
@@ritesofpestilence I dunno why they have two but I thought I did listen to it before the end of 2023. On the record label bandcamp "wergild bandcamp" "released December 23, 2023" and on their band, bandcamp its "released January 5, 2024" on "ironfirmament bandcamp". But then weirdly checking closer, I cant actually find obvious page history dating back past 05.Jan despite what the bandcamp says. So not sure anymore XD.
I did put links but yt blocks them right??
Sounds like something that would have been released over 20 years ago...well played 😎🔥
fucking knife me in the chest type beat
very Satanic Warmaster, good stuff

Totally resurrected within. Bushwhacking my way to the plateau of truth
这个乐队真的很残酷
This "raw black metal" trend, whatever that redundant label means, has produced a lot of pointless crap. This however is a cut above. Totally amazing atmosphere.
The point is that label was basically usurped to mean everything remotely lo-fi done by an idiot with an audio interface and too much free time who found about vampyric BM in 2018, and now makes crappy uninspired, digitally recorded riffs that are basically a ripoff of satanic warmaster, but says its raw bm because he filtered the recordings until they sound crude enough to hide his total lack of creativity behind a mask.
Which is not what it originally meant.
This is not even Raw BM in my book, and its great, yes.
