Members of Converge and Integrity form Irons

Ben Sailer on 12/6/07 @ 1:48 PM

Converge vocalist/graphic artist Jacob Bannon has formed a new band with Integrity frontman Dwid Hellion, as well as Stephen Kasner, called Irons. The band will be putting out a release for Bannon's label, Deathwish Inc., sometime in 2008. A post made on the Deathwish website reads:

"Irons" are a collaborative effort of these three artistic visionaries. A collective effort to create apocalyptic, non-linear music from a primal fine art based mindset.

Idiom(s):
Nautical.
Lying head to the wind and unable to turn either way.

Idiom(s):
Irons in the fire.
An undertaking or project in progress: has many irons in the fire this year.

The blade of a carpenter's plane.
Slang; a pistol.
A harpoon.

"Irons" are currently writing/recording/collaborating for a future 2008 release on Deathwish.
