With a sound steeped in occult debauchery and esoteric rituals, Mother Iron Horse stands out from the stoner rock pack by adding some sleazy grit and tongue-in-cheek blasphemy into the mix and adding a corrosive sludge punk twist that makes it all sound incredibly rousing and addictive.

»Wretched Kings« is the 2nd single from Mother Iron Horse’s new self-titled release, out May 1, 2026 on their own Hellmouth Records.

The band comments: “»Wretched Kings« is a song about revolution. It’s about everyday people being backed into a corner with no choice but to strike out at those in power. It describes the switch that occurs when an ordinarily peaceful person is driven to act in ways they never wanted to. The lyrics “Let the whole world feel my hate” is the caveat of the hive mind.

If protesting with from a place of love doesn’t get your attention, then the hate that comes next certainly will.”
