Consolidating IRON VOID's position as proud 'n' pure purveyors of dependable doom metal is the aptly titled fourth album, IV. Whereas Excalibur had a concept encompassing the historical past and legend, IV by contrast takes a long, hard look at everyday matters: real-world themes that are darker and more tangible, particularly in these days of Covid-19 and political unrest across all nations. Musically, IRON VOID match form to content with direct, hard-hitting doom steeped in the old school, but they're equally adept at varying their dynamics whilst retaining their core sound. Like many bands during these dark days, IRON VOID had to write the whole album remotely during lockdown using file-sharing software, something Sealey says was admittedly "probably the hardest record to write" since they'd never previously done such before. However, the recorded results of IV burst with energy and personality, proving that these old dogs are anything but tired! No other words needed: IRON VOID are doom metal maniacs, for doom metal maniacs. IV is your unlucky number!
