Beschreibung
IRON ECHO is a heavy metal band from Heilbronn, Germany, that was founded in August 2022.
Although the band is still relatively young, the members are old hands and have already made a name
for themselves in the metal scene through their previous bands and projects. Powerhouse vocalist
Johnny Vox has shone on the microphone in X-RAY, DOCTOR SPEED, SYRENCE and FIREFORCE, guitarist
Timo has flashed across the strings in SPITEFUEL and ZARDOZ, ZotteL is active in YEAHROCK and
complements the guitar duo with melodic and powerful riffs, bassist Lois, previously in ELWING,
provides the band’s driving rhythm together with former SPITEFUEL drummer BJ.
At the end of 2024, the band’s debut album, “Forged In Fire”, was sold on CD at their concerts and was
immediately met with praise. Stylistically, the album can be categorized as an intersection of classic
heavy metal and power metal in the vein of JUDAS PRIEST, HELLOWEEN, PRIMAL FEAR and ACCEPT.
Some of it sounds familiar, but much of it is new and different. And so you keep pricking up your ears
and the hairs on the back of your neck stand up with excitement. With „Forged In Fire“, IRON ECHO
don’t have to hide from anyone and with album number 1, they are already on a par with some of the
genre’s heavyweights. Produced, mixed and mastered by renowned sound guru Achim Köhler (PRIMAL
FEAR, AMON AMARTH, SINNER, BRAINSTORM, NITROGODS, ZAR, BLACK+DAMNED, etc.), the sound of
the album is in no way inferior to the nine original compositions in terms of quality and power
