Ironaut Release second EP with Paul Fig Iron Vessel

Ironaut are back at it again, tracking live, then doubling or tripling guitar solos. This three piece have crafted three new crushing tracks, staying true to their roots is psych-doom, thrash metal. We tracked this beast of an EP in one day, finishing up with vocals. Once again, it was an absolute treat to work with these talented musicians.

As Dragon from Metal Nexus says,

“Los Angeles has long been called the “City Of Angels” but it has recently bestowed upon us all a rather darkened amp worshiping trio of crusty blackened punks named Ironaut. And these guys are not fucking around with their highly volatile style of groovy speed freak biker metal but that should really be expected once you realize who is in this band. Formerly of The Sixth Chamber, guitarist Pat McHugh, bassist/vocalist Erik Kluiber (ex-Gypsyhawk / White Wizzard), and former Level drummer Ivan Najor are just musically merciless in this genre-distorting three piece…

Ironaut are yet another incredible discovery I have made recently and based on the versatility exemplified on this EP, I have no doubt that this band will gain ground quickly with their widely appealing balance of varying genres. For fans of High On Fire, Mastodon, and (the) Melvins.”

Ironaut Release first EP with Paul Fig

I had a blast recording Ironaut’s new EP. Tracked live with minimal overdubs. Raw and loud!

Ironaut has been spawned from the primordial ooze brewed from the cauldron of riffs conjured by Pat McHugh (formerly of The Sixth Chamber), then transmuted through the sonic rhythmic alchemy of Erik Kluiber (formerly of Overloaded/White Wizzard/Gypsyhawk) and Ivan Najor (formerly of Level).

I am excited to have worked with Zach Jones mixing his new album Love what you Love. Check out this talented fellow!

Love What You Love is the fifth album from Zach Jones. With keyboard and guitar driven, melodic, rock/ pop songs, loaded with hooks, harmony, pounding drums, and pumping bass; Love What You Love marks a return to Jones’s power-pop roots.

Love What You Love continues to explore themes of love, life, relationships, and growing older. It attempts to examine life’s hardships and complications through the eyes of a positive lens and address how the things we perceive as being negative, can actually strengthen our positive experiences.
