Test Of The Iron Mind (Emerald Green Vinyl)

Melbourne’s Iron Mind have been torchbearers for Australian hardcore for nearly twenty years. Their third album, Test Of The Iron Mind, set for release June 13 via Last Ride Records / Flatspot Records.

Aptly titled, the ten tracks on Test Of The Iron Mind nod to Iron Mind’s history, while clearly written with the band’s contemporary vision. Groove-driven riffs, stomping breakdowns, and confidently delivered lyrics make up the bulk of the record. Produced by Otis Bennie (AWOL), recorded by Sam Johnston at The Black Lodge, and mixed by Taylor Young at The Pit, the raw energy found on Iron Mind’s past releases is transformed into a massive, crisp sound that still instills a heavy conveyance.
