Twisted insane tour
Some touring and festival appearances gained them further attention from the punk and metal scenes alike, both genres claiming them as their own. In 2015, it was as direct as any rock & roll album out there. Second album Fools Gold followed a one way track into real music in a climate where fixed genres dominated the scenes. The addition of second guitarist Jens Bäckelin opened new doors to Lizzy-esque harmonies, and when gravelly-voiced Daniel Bragman carried on the torch of original singer Gustaf the band took yet another step in the direction of solid rock. Remember metal without clichés and punk without dogmas, a time when the music itself mattered. It worked, people just seemed to long for direct rock & roll again. The debut gig as openers for punk legends Poison Idea led to a row of strange concerts and tours, where the band stood out as a sore thumb as they appeared along bands like Vomitory, Ghost, Turbonegro, Bolt Thrower.
Through a slew of 7” singles and debut album The Original Sin they gravitated towards a more riff based rock, echoing the days of old. As all these members have quite extreme musical backgrounds, in bands such as Repugnant, Insision, General Surgery and Tyrant, it all started out quite punkish. Iron Lamb was formed by guitarist Johan Wallin, drummer Tomas Daun and vocalist Gustaf Lindström in 2009, soon to be joined by bass player Daniel Ekeroth. Since its formation in 2009, Iron Lamb has made it their quest to search for that original formula and avoid all the trends of late. Eventually the pure formula was lost, the rock just didn‘t roll as it used to. Since then, punk and metal has gradually been twisted into extreme forms, or watered down to commercial blandness. Between them, bands like Thin Lizzy, Ramones, Motörhead and Ac/Dc found the pure essence of hard music and rolled with it. ”Total Noise” is out on all streaming platforms on April 22.Įverybody knows rock & roll gained perfection in the late 70‘s, it‘s a scientific fact. The world is going to hell and it’s too late for redemption, so what can you do? Dance to the Destruction!” Imagine Hawkwind trying to cure a bad acid trip with some speed. The lyrical theme is a slightly sarcastic exhibition in nihilism, and sums up the concept of Iron Lamb quite well. “Total Noise is musically rooted in the monotonous and groovy sounds of 70´s rock but with a darker touch.
