Fresh but Hearty!

On their debut-album “Insidious Black Sea” IRON WALRUS present themselves as an incarnated Doom-/Sludge-/Noise-/Rock-Monster that can’t and doesn’t want deny its musical foster-fathers ST. VITUS, UNSANE, EYEHATEGOD, GOATSNAKE, HELMET and QUICKSAND. But at the same time the band shows proof that music “that raises hell” not necessarily has to originate from America or Scandinavia. Brutal riffing, banging bass-hooks, driving drums and aggressive shouting – that is IRON WALRUS.

Only started in May 2013, it was not the plan of the young team of old professionals to approach things in a calm and relaxed way. After just a short time, two demos appeared on Reverbnation, getting a considerable amount of clicks and when the band shared the stage with TORCHE on their first show, it had everything except a small and intimate atmosphere.

In October 2013 IRON WALRUS had already enough songs written and arranged to be able to enter the studio with Robin Völkert (DEAN DIRG, UNION OF SLEEP, THE NOW DENIAL) and record “Insidious Black Sea”. A couple of weeks and one album-recording later in November, the band was back on stage with PENTAGRAM and UNION OF SLEEP to play a couple of shows.

It doesn’t have to be mentioned that such a racy and confident appearance remains hidden for long and so it’s no wonder that M.A.D. Tourbooking (NAPALM DEATH, CROWBAR), a reliable partner for the live-sector, was as quickly found as the established label Redfield Records.

On this fundament, the story of IRON WALRUS can be continued in 2014, like it has begun in 2013: The debut-album “Insidious Black Sea” will be released on April 11 and shows with CROWBAR are booked along with an appearance on the legendary Rotormania Festival. No one should miss this, because you can be assured: “Everyone who has seen us live, definitely left the show with a diabolical smile on his face.”

Frisch aber Deftig!

IRON WALRUS präsentieren sich auf ihrem Debüt-Album „Insidious Black Sea“ als fleischgewordenes Doom-/Sludge-/Noise-/Rock-Monster, das musikalische Ziehväter wie ST. VITUS, UNSANE, EYEHATEGOD, GOATSNAKE, HELMET und QUICKSAND auf keinen Fall verleugnen kann - und will! Zugleich tritt die Band aber auch den Beweis an, dass alles was „derbe auf die Glocke geht“ nicht zwingend aus Amerika oder Skandinavien stammen muss. Brutales Riffing, krachende Basshooks, treibendes Drumming, wütendes Shouting - genau das sind IRON WALRUS.

Erst im Mai 2013 formierten sich IRON WALRUS. Ruhig und entspannt wollte es das junge Team alteingesessener Profis aber nicht angehen lassen und so gab es bereits nach kürzester Zeit zwei Demo-Tracks und eine beachtliche Zahl an Klicks auf Reverbnation. Auch die erste Show fand zwei Monate nach Bandgründung entsprechend nicht im kleinen und intimen Rahmen statt, sondern man teilte sich auf Anhieb die Bühne mit TORCHE.

Bereits im Oktober 2013 hatten IRON WALRUS genug Songs geschrieben und arrangiert, so dass sie das Studio mit Robin Völkert (DEAN DIRG, UNION OF SLEEP, THE NOW DENIAL) entern konnten, um „Insidious Black Sea“ aufzunehmen. Eine Albumaufnahme später, stand man im November schon wieder für einzelne Shows mit PENTAGRAM und UNION OF SLEEP auf der Bühne.

Dass ein solch rasantes und selbstsicheres Auftreten namhafter Musiker nicht lange unentdeckt bleibt, ist kein Wunder und so war mit M.A.D. Tourbooking (NAPALM DEATH, CROWBAR, SICK OF IT ALL) schnell ein namhafter Partner für den Live-Sektor am Start und mit Redfield Records ebenso schnell ein etabliertes Label gefunden.

Somit kann die Geschichte von IRON WALRUS 2014 genau so weiter gehen, wie sie 2013 begonnen hat: Am 11. April erscheint das Debüt-Album „Insidious Black Sea“ und Shows mit CROWBAR stehen ebenfalls bereits auf dem Tourplan, genau wie eine Show auf dem legendären Rotormania Festival. Verpassen sollte man das auf keinen Fall, denn es sei versichert: „Wer uns live erlebt hat, geht in jedem Fall mit einem diabolischen Grinsen im Gesicht nach Hause!“

SiMÓN: New album "The Inner Traveller" will be released via Redfield-Digital on the 6th of December



If you are an artist of any discipline, you will completely understand the unstoppable urge to create your own art. The unexplainable force that makes you want to express yourself. This is the same for the Dutch alternative metal band SiMÓN: they can’t help making their dark, raw, dramatic, but melodic sludgy music. Of course, you could point at the state of the world, the destructive nature of men, the personal affections for the darker things in life or the joy of hanging out together and make great music.

From the beginning of the band in 2005 SiMÓN has always been about sharing the passion for creating and performing. Where the debut “Slices Of You” (2009) can be seen as a musical interpretation of brutally tearing the world to shreds, the band’s new album “The Inner Traveller” (2013) describes the journey afterwards, musically as well as lyrically. It contains longer and epic compositions in a comprehensive mix of heavy, bombastic metal, psychedelic and melodic rock.

In addition to the production of “The Inner Traveller” the band spent a few weeks recording in the famous Leidsche Schouwburg theatre, which is an over 300 years old Dutch theatre with a lot of history. The ambience while recording was monumental, haunting and isolating, which is the foundation of this album. The guys from SiMÓN have engineered, produced and mixed the album themselves and had it mastered by Jochem Jacobs at the Split Second Sound Studio in Amsterdam. “The Inner Traveller” will be released by Redfield Digital in December 2013. The members of the Rotterdam based band have been active in the Dutch music scene for many years and have been involved with bands like Face Tomorrow, Dreadlock Pussy, Viberider, Dead By Dawn and Sk;rl. Having played and worked with bands such as Textures, Torche, Pelican, Callisto, A Storm Of Light, Karma To Burn, Tank 86, Izah, Amen Ra and many others.

Recommended for fans of Posthardcore/Sludge Metal in the style of NEUROSIS!!!

"The Inner Traveller" is out 6 December 2013.



SiMÓN are Ilja Traas - Guitar/Vocals, Bart Heuts - Guitar/Vocals, Tijs Hop - Bass, Sjoerd van der Knoop - Drums, Theun Sponselee - Keys/Sounds
