Seattle, Washington-based sludge bringers OLD IRON today unveil a brand new video for “Planetesimal.” Now playing at BrooklynVegan, the track comes by way of the band’s split 12” with
Montpellier, France’s doom/hardcore practitioners VERDUN.
Initially released in Europe last Fall, the four-track offering will
see release in the US via Satanik Royalty Records February 25th!
Notes OLD IRON
of the track, “‘Planetesimal’ places the listener in a forbidding
pocket of space surrounded by primordial chaos. Particles of dust are
smashed together by incomprehensible cosmic forces with violent results.
The woods still aren’t safe!”

OLD IRON
aspires to weave sprawling psychedelic sludge tapestries. Jerad Shealey
(The Helm, Heiress) and Jesse Roberts (Sandrider, Kid Congo Powers, The
Ruby Doe) started writing music with original drummer Brandon Ramses
during 2011 with the goal of getting loud, heavy, and weird. Later that
year their first self-released full-length Cordyceps
(2012) was recorded in Jesse’s basement. Current drummer, Trent
McIntyre, joined the ranks soon after. With McIntyre in the equation
their second record came into focus. With Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Botch)
at the engineering helm, Lupus Metallorum
(2016) was recorded at The Red Room in Seattle and released on Good To
Die records in 2016. Shealey crossed paths with Florien of VERDUN
while touring with Kid Congo Powers and a lasting friendship was born.
They kept in touch and eventually the idea of a split came up and the
rest is history.
Forged in 2010, VERDUN
made a name in the realm of slow and heavy music on the basis of a
simple three-track demo, leaving a strong impression on every witness of
the band’s thunderous live shows. The band has since released two
full-lengths: The Eternal Drift's Canticles (2016) and Astral Sabbath
(2019). Far from simple amplifier worship, the band excels at tinting
their sludge/doom roots with metallic hardcore toughness,
burden-of-the-world melodies and charismatic vocals, switching between
echoed screams from outer space, spoken words or mournful clean vocals. VERDUN develops its hybrid doom/hardcore through a composition of new track “Narconaut” and a very personal rendition of Morbid Angel’s classic “Dawn Of The Angry.”
The split will be released via Satanik Royalty on vinyl (clear and orange smoke) and is available for preorder HERE. Find digital preorders at THIS LOCATION.
