UK-based doom heavyweights IRONRAT are back and ready to conquer the heavy music scene once again with their highly anticipated new album, Beneath It All, set for release on February 28th, 2025, via Argonauta Records. This marks the band’s triumphant return nearly a decade after their acclaimed debut album, Monument (2015).
IRONRAT’s sound is a blend of raw sludge and doom with the emotive edge of grunge, drawing influence from iconic acts like Red Fang, Alice In Chains, Corrosion of Conformity, and Mastodon. The band’s journey to Beneath It All was not without its struggles, as they faced the departure of their vocalist, Chris, due to health reasons. However, they emerged stronger than ever, regrouping with a revitalized lineup:
During their hiatus, IRONRAT maintained a prominent presence in the heavy music world through explosive live performances alongside acts like Orange Goblin, Phil Campbell, and Psychlona, and appearances at prestigious festivals such as Bloodstock, SOPHIE Fest, and Manor Fest.
Beneath It All was recorded at the renowned Foel Studio and produced by Chris Fielding of Conan fame. The album showcases the band’s evolution with massive riffs, crushing tones, and a newfound melodic depth in the vocals, while staying true to their core sound. Fans can expect a thunderous and electrifying preview of what’s to come, with the release of a new single and video accompanying the album announcement.
IRONRAT is back, heavier, bolder, and more unstoppable than ever. Prepare for an epic sonic journey with Beneath It All—a testament to their resilience, growth, and unwavering commitment to the heavy music scene.
