Spiral Grave unleashed highly anticipated new album »Ill Repute« featuring members of Iron Man and Lord!

Spiral Grave, the formidable collaboration born from the ashes of two legendary mid-Atlantic bands, unleashed their powerful new album »Ill Repute« on July 12, 2024 via Argonauta Records. Fusing the heavy, doom-laden sounds of Black Sabbath with the soaring metal intensity of Judas Priest and the classic rock grit of UFO, Spiral Grave delivers a sound that is both deeply rooted in tradition and fiercely original.

“Many artists have their Covid album, and this is ours. Once lockdowns started we just hunkered down and started writing. The emotions that we were all feeling during that time are very evident in these songs. The legendary Frank Marchand was at the helm for recording, and brought the absolute best out in us.” says the band.

Formed in the wake of the tragic disbandment of Iron Man in 2018, following the passing of their iconic guitarist and founder Al Morris III, Spiral Grave emerged as a force to be reckoned with. The band members, hailing from both Iron Man and Lord, united to continue their shared legacy of delivering hard-hitting, soul-stirring metal that resonates with fans old and new.

»Ill Repute« marks Spiral Grave’s second full-length album, a tour de force of doom-influenced metal and heavy rock. The album is a testament to the band’s resilience and dedication, capturing the essence of their influences while forging a path uniquely their own. From thunderous riffs to haunting melodies, »Ill Repute« promises to be an essential listen for fans of classic metal and hard rock.

With a lineup that boasts years of experience and a passion for the genre, Spiral Grave is poised to make a significant impact on the metal scene. Their live performances, characterized by raw energy and emotional intensity, have already garnered attention, and »Ill Repute« is set to solidify their place among the greats.
