Notes
Australian progressive band Ironwood return with sophomore album Storm Over Sea. Mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö at Sweden's Unisound Studios, this new release is Ironwood's celebration of the beauty, majesty, and fury of the ocean - literally and figuratively, for this is an album of spiritual and psychological dimensions as much as it is a deed of nature worship. Refining the fusion of extreme metal, progressive rock, and neofolk elements that garnered an outstanding reputation for their debut album : Fire: Water: Ash: ("Outstanding" - Metal Review.Com; "Truly extraordinary ...9.5/10" - Metal Obsession), Ironwood have created an album of vast horizons, spiralling technicality, and powerful vulnerability. Storm Over Sea represents progression for Ironwood in every respect: sophistication of composition, depth of feeling, and richness of arrangements (including some truly spellbinding vocal harmonies by the band's three vocalists). It is a seamlessly realised expression of the band's animistic and spiritual influences. Presented an in exquisite digipak format as well as digitally, Storm Over Sea will consolidate Ironwood's reputation as an evocative, complex, soulful, and above all unique musical force. Storm Over Sea is available for FREE download at Ironwood's website.
