Artist: IRON MASK
Album: FIFTH SON OF WINTERDOOM (CD)

Release date: 2013
Media type: CD

Not even two years after the release of “Black As Death”, IRON MASK return with a brand new studio album! The band around Belgian guitar wizard Dushan Petrossi performs at highest level again, concentrating solely on their strengths.

The new piece of work is titled “Fifth Son Of Winterdoom” and features 12 songs that couldn’t be more catchy and captivating. “This time we really put focus on writing very catchy songs. From the concerts we played and the reactions from our fans, these are the songs they liked the most”, Dushan Petrossi explains. “Nevertheless, we wanted the album to sound 100% authentic and typical Iron Mask. I think this is very much what we achieved in the end with “Fifth Son Of Winterdoom”.

One of the album’s lead tracks is “Rock Religion”, a Power Metal hymn with memorable chorus, powerful drumming and positive energy. A video clip was filmed for this song too. In the heartfelt ballad “Father Farewell” Petrossi mourns the loss of his father who passed away last year, long songs like the title track or “The Picture Of Dorian Grey” deliver the epic feel and straight-ahead rockers like “Angel Eyes, Demon Soul” and “Back Into Mystery” are typical IRON MASK anyway. Add to this the slightly progressive touch of “Seven Samurai”, the rawness of “Only One Commandment” and the fast-paced “Like A Lion In A Cage”, it becomes obvious that “Fifth Son Of Winterdoom” is another versatile release of a band that just gets better and better.
