The wait is over! UK-based doom heavyweights IRONRAT are back and ready to dominate the heavy music scene once again. The band has revealed the full details of their highly anticipated new album, "Beneath It All," set for release in February 28th 2025 via Argonauta Records. Alongside the announcement, IRONRAT has dropped a thunderous new single and an accompanying video, offering fans an electrifying first glimpse of what’s to come.
Drawing inspiration from iconic bands such as Red Fang, Alice In Chains, Corrosion of Conformity and Mastodon, IRONRAT has crafted a sound that blends the raw grit of sludge and doom with the emotive edge of grunge. Their forthcoming record marks a triumphant return nearly a decade after their acclaimed debut, "Monument," in 2015.
The journey to "Beneath It All" wasn’t without challenges. The band weathered a temporary setback with the departure of their vocalist, Chris, due to health reasons. However, instead of faltering, IRONRAT used this time to regroup, reforge and emerge stronger than ever with a revitalized lineup:
Vocals & Guitar: Martin Wiseman (Psychlona, Wolves In Winter)
Guitar: Wayne Hustler (Wolves In Winter, ex-Monolith Cult)
Bass: Stuart Hillman
Drums: Gordon Wilkinson (Hollow Earth, Lazarus Blackstar, ex-Khang)
Fans of the band will know IRONRAT hasn’t been idle during their studio hiatus. Their explosive live performances alongside heavyweights like Orange Goblin, Phil Campbell and Psychlona have kept their name firmly etched in the heavy music circuit. Appearances at prestigious festivals like Bloodstock, SOPHIE Fest, and Manor Fest have further cemented their reputation as one of the UK’s premier doom acts.
The upcoming album, recorded at the renowned Foel Studio and produced by Chris Fielding of Conan fame, is a testament to IRONRAT’s sonic evolution. Packed with massive riffs, crushing tones, and a newfound melodic depth in the vocals, "Beneath It All" showcases the band’s growth while staying true to their core sound.
Stay tuned for the full release of "Beneath It All" this February, and in the meantime, dive into the new single and video—a powerful preview of the epic soundscapes that await.
IRONRAT is back. Heavier, bolder and more unstoppable than ever.

![WHITE TUNDRA - Kultarberget (official video) [Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/J7V-3-hqa9E/mqdefault.jpg "WHITE TUNDRA - Kultarberget (official video) [Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records]
Norwegian heavy rock voyagers White Tundra announce the release of the new single and videoclip for the song Kultarberget. The track anticipates the band’s upcoming album “Stories from the Dark”, out on April 24th 2026 in deluxe vinyl and digital formats via Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records.
“Kultarberget” represents a powerful new chapter in the sonic journey of White Tundra, blending hypnotic riffs, massive grooves and evocative atmospheres rooted in Scandinavian mystique. The song expands the band’s signature sound, balancing dusty desert rock influences with darker doom laden tones and a strong sense of narrative tension.
“Stories from the Dark” marks the second full length release by White Tundra and follows their acclaimed self titled debut from 2023. The album was written and recorded between 2024 and 2025 and captures a period of transformation and consolidation for the band.
White Tundra comment on the album:
“We started working on this album early 2024 when Kjell Andres joined on lead guitars. He had been piling up ideas for a while and came into the band with fresh blood and energy. After a while, Øyvind joined on bass and we really started to focus on writing in the summer of 2024.
Rhys Marsh at Automnsongs Recording Studio, where we recorded our first album, contacted us around this time and we decided to continue the work with him as a producer for the next album.
Many songs were in the loop for this album, but we settled on these final six tracks as the ones who fit best together. The winter and spring were used for demoing and pre productions, and Ola hit the studio first, recording the drums in mid July. Bass, guitar and vocals were recorded during two consecutive weeks in August.
The music has partly been written after the lyrics, often starting with creating the chorus and main mood of the songs and building on the songs from there. Other songs were partly finished musically before the lyrics fell into place.
Ola has written all the lyrics for this album, with the help from singer Steven to adapt them to the music. Thematically it takes off where the previous album ended, with lyrics about escaping from society, the unknown around us and a bit of local folklore. The album ending track White Tundra tries to explain the whole soul and story of the band, describing the journey from the inspirational desert rock, ending in the white, stormy Tundra.”
“Stories from the Dark” was produced and mixed by Rhys Marsh at Automnssongs Recording Studio and mastered by Joona Hassinen at Studio Underjord.
