People are starting to take this website seriously, and it hit me the other day when I received my very first physical promo package in the mail addressed to “Heavy Blog Is Heavy.” Fuck yeah, things are being addressed to the online entity I built with my opinions. Life is good.
While I was hoping I was finally getting my Iron Thrones promo, I instead received a package featuring two southern rock/metal bands. I was hesitant to try them out, as anything with a southern label affixed to it could be hit or miss. One of the bands in the package, His Name Was Iron, was advertised as “Southern Party Metal.”
“Oh boy,” I thought to myself. This oughtta be good. Turns out, it was! My expectations of a sloppy and drunker Black Label Society came unfounded, as I was instead greeted with southern metalcore akin to Every Time I Day with added hints of Norma Jean, complete with catchier choruses.
