Today,At War With False NoiseandUnholy AnarchyannounceFebruary 20th, 2015as the international release date forLegion of Andromeda's debut album,Iron Scorn. Conceived, constructed, and assembled in 2012 by the demented minds of -M- (axe/machinery: Japanese) and -R- (vokills: Italian) and lurking within the inhuman megalopolis of Tokyo,Legion of Andromedais blessed by the will of total war.
Sculpted in reiteration, repetition, and cyclical rotation,Legion of Andromeda's impenetrable cacophony outbursts the breath of cosmic frost: raw, minimal, brutal; primitive, obtuse, barbaric. Albeit genuinely inspired by such diverse acts as Big Black, Suicide, Godflesh, Ildjarn, Swans, Khanate, VON, and Pan Sonic, among others, the band havecrafted a totally original and unique sound.
The duo's first offering, released in November 2013 and quickly sold out within a few months,was afour-track/32-minute self-titled demo comprising total aural disintegration, and wasrecorded, mixed, and mastered in August 2013 by Shigenori Kobayashi (Coffins/Sete Star Sept) at Noise Room Studio in Tokyo for maximum audial displeasure.While being favorably reviewed on several underground webzines suchThe Obelisk,The Sleeping Shaman,Black Metal And Brews, and personally handpicked by noneotherthan Kim Kelly who featured it on her ownNecrolust Zineand inDecibelmagazine, the demo was distributed by Obliteration Records in Japan, At War With False Noise in the EU, and Aquarius Records in the US.
In July 2014,Legion of Andromedarecorded their first proper full-length with the legendary Steve Albini (Neurosis/High On Fire/Nirvana) at his own Electrical Audio in Chicago. TitledIron Scorn, the album is colossal, punishing, and devastating in terms of production, dynamics, and sound. Albini's extraordinary engineering skills and unique genius brought to life a real monster, a huge sonic crusher of devastating proportions. The record, mastered by John Golden (Melvins/Om/Sleep/), will be released onFebruary 20th, 2015on vinyl format only byAt War With False Noisein the EU andUnholy Anarchyin the US. On the artwork side, the insanely talented Tony Roberts (Conan/Electric Wizard/Unearthly Trance) provided visual aggression to the album. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
