Experimental instrumental band Iron Mountain will release its debut album, Unum, on April 1. The Irish quintet has signed with respected underground label Prophecy Productions (Alcest, Amber Asylum, Arcturus), who will re-issue the record – initially self-released by the band in small quantities in early 2015 – with revised artwork and packaging.

Described as a fantastical mix of krautrock, metal, Irish folk and psych rock, Iron Mountain builds its unique, haunting sound around a core of guitars, drums, bass and synth, and then adds ancient instruments such as Native American flutes and uilleann pipes, which take on the role of what is usually expected of a lead guitar, creating captivating lead melodies. The band's sound has been called "unlike anyone else past or present", while Unum is hailed as "a vibrant, otherworldly, out-of-body experience of an album". For a sampling of what the record holds in store, check out the video for theIRON MOUNTAIN song "Enthralldom" now at this location.

Formed in 2012, Iron Mountain boasts a sound that is at once archaic and modern. The group's heavy rock sound doesn't hide its folk tradition; it's fantastic to hear Irish/Celtic music being adapted and changed to fit in with modern times. The band is set to join new labelmates Alcest, Secrets of the Moon, Les Discrets, Helrunar and more at the 2016 Prophecy Fest, set to take place July 29-30 inside Balver Höhle, "a natural cave from old stone age" in Balve, Germany.

Iron Mountain features Damien Mullane (guitar), Matt Bashford (uilleann pipes/ low whistle), Ronan Ryan (transverse wooden flute), Stephen Hughes (bass) and Ray Murphy (drums).
