Test Of The Iron Mind nod to Iron Mind’s history while creating through a contemporary lens. Groove-driven riffs, stomping breakdowns, and confidently delivered lyrics make up the bulk of the record. Produced by Otis Bennie (AWOL), recorded by Sam Johnston at The Black Lodge, and mixed by Taylor Young at The Pit, the raw energy found on Iron Mind’s past releases is transformed into a massive, crisp sound that still instills a heavy conveyance. Those familiar with the band’s discography will find callbacks in the new tracks – opener “More Pain” to 2012’s “Look Into My Eye,” eponymous track “Test Of The Iron Mind” recalling 2009’s “The Iron Mind.” These are full circle moments for the band who set out to create their best material yet, and there’s still plenty for newcomers to latch onto.
The winding riffs and hard hitting gang vocals on “How You Get Down” serve as a call to the new generation of hardcore fans, encouraging building community and creativity in the scene. “No Fate” continues into themes of self-empowerment as vocalist Sam Octigan. “Take a look at me, never believed, there could be days like these!” He says: “This song is both a personal statement and a message to those listening who haven’t been told that they don’t need permission to create the life that they want for themselves, that it’s not just for the in crowd or the select few.”
Lead single and album closer “Solitary Realm’s” primal drums and crushing down-tuned guitars make way for an anthemic expression of perseverance. Octigan adds, “This is a song about recognizing the tendency towards self isolation and the necessity to move away from it or suffer further consequences, while acknowledging the difficulty in doing so.” With pragmatic lyrics, a sonic fury, and bridging their past and future, Iron Mind have created their definitive album with Test Of The Iron Mind.
