IRON FATE have now found the time to record its successor a full eleven years after their debut album. The second work is called "Crimson Messiah" and was mixed and mastered by Jost Schlueter in the PureSonic Studio.
It was produced by Schlueter and the band themselves. Once again we can look forward to heavy metal with a US-American touch with thrashy parts and hard rock elements. With a playing time of almost an hour, the album offers space for epic, melancholy and aggressiveness.
"Metal II" stands out as a fully re-recorded, newly mixed by Mike Fraser (AC/DC, AEROSMITH and many more) and remastered album in a new lineup, featuring Dave Lombardo (SLAYER) on drums and Stu Block (ICED EARTH) on vocals. The guest list on the album is huge: Willie Adler (LAMB OF GOD), Alexi Laiho (CHILDREN OF BODOM), Steve "Lips" Kudlow (ANVIL), Dan Beehler (EXCITER), Jesper Strömblad (IN FLAMES), Angela Gossow (ARCH ENEMY), Jeff Loomis (ARCH ENEMY, NEVERMORE), Anders Björler (THE HAUNTED, AT THE GATES) and Corey Beaulieu (TRIVIUM).
Tech death outfit Replacire is currently in the studio tracking their new studio album, which will follow up 2017's full-length, Do Not Deviate.
