To the Grave

Five full-lengths into an unremarkable career, it's hard to get too worked up one way or the other about IRON FIRE.

New Metal Leader

Not that I don't appreciate what they do; I just kind of lost interest some years back, but still cherish golden 80s albums like "Fighting the World", "Hail to England", and "Kings of Metal".
