Iron Man to Make UK Debut at Rise Above 25th Anniversary Show

Warms my otherwise frigid heart to see Iron Man making good. The long-underappreciated stalwarts of Maryland doom have announced that they’ll play their first show ever in the UK at Rise Above Records‘ two-day 25th anniversary celebration, to be held just before the New Year in London. Fucking a. By then, the world will have gotten a taste of Iron Man‘s latest outing, South of the Earth (I’m not saying there’s a track premiere coming next week, but I’m not not saying it either), and to advance a review to come, let me just say the thing is a beast. Very doom, very metal, and of course propelled by the landmark tone of “Iron” Alfred Morris III, which has never come across so full or true to its live sound.

Keep it up, gentlemen. And safe travels.

Here’s the official word:

Iron Man CONFIRMED for Rise Above anniversary show exclusive performance!!!

Yes, we are beyond pleased to announce the debut UK appearance from this legendary underground Doom Metal institution! Flights are booked and band leader Al Morris III is as delighted as we are: “I am very excited and honoured to be playing at The 25th Anniversary of Rise Above Records!!!
