Iron Blanket
Astral Wanderer (red)
Sound Effect (Greece) and Copper Feast Records (UK) present the debut album from Australian heavy-psych band Iron Blanket! Sydney riff wizards Iron Blanket formed in 2020. Born out of the huge weed haze that was lockdown one, the band set about ripping it up on local stages as soon as they were allowed. Initially the five-piece bonded over a love of seventies rock music... drawing influence from the heavy licks of Black Sabbath, Pentagram and the psychedelic exploration of Hawkwind and Pink Floyd. But as the jams got heavier and the fuzz pedals got weirder, thick and dirty nineties inspired grooves and feedback started to appear, to round out the band's sound. After a year of gigging as much as possible (with the likes of Sasquatch, Dozer and Astrodeath) the band was ready to record their debut album 'Astral Wanderer.' 'Astral Wanderer' is a natural continuation of the band's sound with mammoth fuzz riffs, rhythmic choruses and dark psych soundscapes felt with tension, inspired by occult worship imagery and Australian barren landscapes. This distinctive sound has quickly given Iron Blanket the reputation of one of Sydney's best stoner/psych bands.
