Bio
Iron Thrones is an independent epic/progressive melodic metal band from Minneapolis, MN. Their debut album, titled “Visions of Light”, was self-released in November 2008 as a free digital download on their website, and as a short run “Limited Edition” CD. Soon after its release, “Visions of Light” garnered many positive reviews on underground websites, leading to a nation-wide re-release and greater exposure in early 2009 by Tribunal Records.
In Spring 2010, just before they were to enter the studio to record their follow-up album, Iron Thrones was announced as the winner of Scion’s “No Label Needed” Contest. They were flown out to the East Coast to record “The Wretched Sun”; a 6-song, 40+ minute EP produced by Will Putney for Machine Shop Productions (Lamb of God, Clutch, Chiodos). The EP was released in July 2010, with accompanying radio, print, and web promotion as a result of the contest, and has received positive reviews as well as write-ups in Decibel and Revolver magazines.
Their sound is primarily influenced by other progressive metal acts such as Opeth, Burst, Mastodon, and Between the Buried and Me, as well as post-metal such as Cult of Luna and rock bands such as Cave In and Thrice.
