Iron Kingdom Keep It Steel at Vancouver album release show
Canadian Heavy Metallers, Iron Kingdom, celebrated the release of their latest full-length record with a night of riffs at Vancouver’s Wise Hall earlier this month.
Known for their ability to echo the sounds of the metal forefathers (Iron Maiden, Judas Preist), Iron Kingdom put on a show to remember for battle vest adorning metal heads across the Lower Mainland.
From thundering drum solos and insatiable shredding, to choreographed stage moves and fantasy-laden lyrics, the band’s performance was tighter than the leather pants they wore.
Feeding off the energy of the fans that packed the venue, the band ripped through their set with precision, playing highlights from the new record ‘The Blood Of Creation’ and their entire discography.
The new album is now available to purchase on the band’s website.
Set List:
Tides Of Desolation
Sheathe The Sword
Queen Of The Crystal Throne
