The Australian progressive metal outfit IRONSTONE is thrilled to announce their new EP, "The Place I Cannot Find", set to be released on October 26th. Featuring the hit singles 'Mr. Struggle' and 'Shiny Things'. (Watch Video's below) The EP is the band's second major release and a follow up to their highly praised debut EP 'Prophecy'.

"This band works from the most melodic spectrum to the most whirling spectrum and flows from one extreme to another like fucking mercury (with weird metrics in between of course). The melodic hook, djent hook, tech-prog hook! too much for two ears and ten billion interconnected neurons! IRONSTONE, one of those fucking bands that offer three-dimensional, synesthetic music! hurtfully musical like LEPROUS, technical like ANIMAL AS LEADERS, progressive like PERIPHERY. "Cesar Luis Morales ' Necromance Magazine

"Some of the best bands in metal today are coming out of the Australian continent. Polaris, Northlane, In Hearts Wake, Make Them Suffer, the list goes on and on. Today, it gets larger with IRONSTONE and their debut EP, Prophecy."
Mike Reitemeier ' New Fury Media

"From eye opening screams and crisp vocal harmonies, to incredibly clean production and superb lead guitar, IRONSTONE's 'Prophecy' will undoubtedly draw good amounts attention and appreciation from the Australian metal community, which in my opinion is well deserved."
Alex Lynch ' Forte Magazine

"IRONSTONE present their own imaginative brand of progressive metal and the results are absolutely epic in scope. Based within the vast confines of Australia, this young band possesses vibrantly skilled musicianship and highly memorable songs. Prophecy is the name of the recent EP, and it's sure to stun the senses of music fanatics all across this great big world."
Ken Morton ' Highwire Daze Online

"There's been a definite evolution in our writing and musicianship, which is evident in this new material. We've really grown as a band over the past 2 years, building on what we started and pushing the boundaries of narrative and genre. We're so proud of these songs, their range and complexity. We just can't wait for people to hear them." says lead vocalist, Dan Charlton.

The six track EP features cover art created with AI, a process that was very exciting, diving into such new technology. Mixed by Chris Themelco of Monolith Studios and mastered by Acle Kahney of TesseracT, the release has a run time of just under 30 minutes.
IRONSTONE will celebrate the release with a launch party at Melbourne's iconic Tote Hotel on Saturday October 29th. Special guests to be announced soon, with tickets going on sale today.

Rapidly rising as one of Melbourne's brightest progressive metal outfits, IRONSTONE demonstrate an astounding level of musical ingenuity as they blend layers of crushing, low tuned guitars and technical rhythm with groove, hooks and melody galore. Greatly influenced by progressive metal giants such as Periphery, Tesseract and Twelve Foot Ninja, IRONSTONE craft clever, quirky songs that offset melodic choruses and atmospheric layers with heavy breakdowns and extreme vocals. The result is a juggernaut of modern metal that is both sophisticated and hard hitting.
