As Crucial Blast prepares to release the CD version of the “Iron Scorn” debut by Tokyo-based industrialized death/doom duo, LEGION OF ANDROMEDA, the label has issued an official video track stream of the intense album-opening movement, “Transuranic Ejaculation”.
Diabolical in its minimalist approach, unleashing a grinding nightmare of violent, industrial doom/death rooted in a barbaric simplicity, moving in endlessly cyclical percussive patterns, LEGION OF ANDROMEDA‘s “Iron Scorn” wormed its way deep into the Crucial Blast depot upon first hearing it. The band has hacked out a uniquely vicious sound, and shares as much disgusting DNA with the grinding industrial metal of bands like Dead World, Skin Chamber and Streetcleaner-era Godflesh as it does with the putrescent doom/death of Autopsy, Cianide and Asphyx, brilliantly fusing the devastating down-tuned chug of the latter to the repetitive, belt-driven clangor of the former, each monstrous track churning through the black cosmos like a mechanical warbeast comprised of gnashing teeth and interlocking gears, terrifying and trance-inducing, with equal nods to the heaviest strains of industrial metal and the most primitive depths of black/death violence.
Following its vinyl release on vinyl in North America by Unholy Anarchy and At War With False Noise in Europe, Crucial Blast will now reissue “Iron Scorn” on a four-panel gatefold jacket digipak CD with a printed inner sleeve next Friday, September, 11th, to further the blast radius of this immense debut album.
