Mother Iron Horse Announce Tour Dates With Bone Church & Snake Mountain Revival
Salem, Mass-based sludge metal four-piece Mother Iron Horse will head out on tour beginning July 20. They head out supporting their 2021 Ripple Music debut and second album overall, Under the Blood Moon (review here), which was offered as a part of a series curated by Rob “Blasko” Nicholson.
And this is going to sound kind of random, but the sound of that record is one I can’t help but associate with New England. And more specifically, New England in Fall. Weird, maybe — and I didn’t see Mother Iron Horse live until 2019 (review here), after I’d moved out of Massachusetts — but the only time I can remember getting such a strong, particularly New English, cool-air-smell-of-burning-leaves-seems-to-be-getting-dark-just-a-little-bit-faster-paper-bag-from-Newbury-Comics is from Cannae‘s Troubleshooting Death in 2000. I can’t believe I haven’t talked about this before — and in fact I have — but whatever reverb frequency that is, it just sounds like cold on skin to me. I’m not sure if that’s what Mother Iron Horse were going for or not.
Connecticut’s Bone Church will join Mother Iron Horse for the entirety of their upcoming run of shows, which hold a slot for the latter in Austin at RippleFest Texas as their centerpiece, and Snake Mountain Revival will join on after. Even later this summer, Mother Iron Horse will be out again, this time to Psycho Las Vegas, and they have a Boston show slated for Aug. 28, though whether or not anything’s set for between, I don’t know.
Either way, I didn’t want to mention it earlier because I feel like I’ve been talking about that weekend a lot, but I did just see Mother Iron Horse a few weeks ago at Desertfest New York and they were killer. So there.
