Jacob Bannon of Converge, Dwid Hellion of Integrity and artist Stephen Kasner have formed Irons.

Fuck yeah!

Sweet. I'll give any music a shot that describes itself as 'apocalyptic'.

veganboyjosh (December 5, 2007)

i'd prefer apoplectic, but whatever.

Totally fucking awesome!

BizzleBrizzle (December 5, 2007)

this will be insane

"collaborative effort [to] create apocalyptic, non-linear music from a primal fine art based mindset."

i dont know what this means but i like it...i like it a lot

Mookie_Blaylock (December 5, 2007)

This is going to be either really amazing, or completely awful

Dante3000 (rich) (December 5, 2007)

Hmm..I really am of the opinion that this will either completely rule or completely suck ass but it will be one of the extremes. Any band that sets them self up for such a broad canvas can not simply be "meh".

Thats a pretty good point.

Wentz_Equals_Death (December 5, 2007)

i dunno, the T4 project transcended mehness

R3vengeTherapy (December 5, 2007)

"Non-linear"? Seriously? What the fuck does that even mean? Does it mean every instrument is doing something completely different and going in all directions? Is it gonna be like one of those choose your own adventure books, only with music? I think I may have to save myself from the headache this band wil inevitably create for me.

abrrock (December 5, 2007)

c'mon, give them a break
i like to think there's a place for being pretentious in heavy music outside of dream theatre

LookBackAndLaugh (December 6, 2007)

When I read 'non-linear', I merely thought non-strophic. I guess that's just my mind. It didn't completely surprise me, because Converge can be non-strophic a lot, too.

Dudley_Shale (December 5, 2007)

I'm very stoked about this.

hellcomeshome (December 5, 2007)

If you don't like Converge and Integrity you are a piece of shit and should lock yourself in your garage, turn the car on and take a nap. It's as simple as that. I imagine that this project will be amazing.

spoon_of_grimbo (December 5, 2007)

somebody just floorpunched their way to a new low...

sugarfull (December 5, 2007)

as much as I love converge, that was a really, really, really clever retort.

hellcomeshome (December 5, 2007)

Yeah what can I say, I'm super macho... not.

HOISTDATRAG (December 5, 2007)

Zing! oh.. wait, what?

eatdogs (December 5, 2007)

old man gloom 2.0???

i'll check this out anyway.

hellcomeshome (December 5, 2007)

Yeah keep a look out for Old Man Gloom news, they might be doing some shows, they sent out a bulletin on myspace. Although, OMG had no Integrity members, or hasn't yet, atleast that I'm aware of. They have Cave In, Isis, and Converge dudes.

InaGreendase (brian) (December 5, 2007)

Never realized how awesome Old Man Gloom's acronym is.

the_cobra (December 5, 2007)

i need to hear this

DrGunn (December 5, 2007)

better bust out those work gloves.

sugarfull (December 5, 2007)

As cool as a nearly all Converge side projects sound, I kind of wish there was more, you know, actual Converge to go around.

HOISTDATRAG (December 5, 2007)

I love Dwid.

blackjazze (December 6, 2007)

ought to be great but sometimes i think jacob bannon spreads himself out too thin. but at least he's no justin pearson.

himandhisdevotee (December 6, 2007)

this will hold me over till verge's next album. i have their next album is going to take it even futher.

himandhisdevotee (December 6, 2007)

wow i am stupid, i meant to say i know..not i have*

Chimpo (December 6, 2007)

This should be interesting. Fingers crossed.

karmabad (December 6, 2007)
