This is tough news to report. When we aired the Scion No Label Needed series a few years ago, we put the spotlight on Iron Thrones, a great band certainly worthy of all the things Scion was providing for them. After spending so much time with those guys, we became friends. They were good dudes who made good music. But, unfortunately, things didn't work out so well. Two years after the series thrust them into the metal bubble, the bubble has burst for Iron Thrones, who have released this statement:
Our sincerest apologies to those who were looking forward to a new Iron Thrones album. As has been somewhat obvious, we have been on an unplanned hiatus for the past couple of years, and although there were occasional moments of synchronicity, ultimately the flame died out and we gradually moved apart. We had a good run, and met a lot of fantastic people who truly appreciated our music. The same honesty that drove our creative process, now forces us to admit to ourselves that any new material we created as Iron Thrones would be missing what truly made our music special to us, and so it is time to lay this project to rest.
Sometimes, things just don’t turn out the way you would’ve liked. Time passes on, and things that you thought would never change, do. People change. Passions change. Regardless, the world continues to spin, oblivious to the changes within us, and we move on.
We'll always have the No Label Needed series. The band have made all of their music available for free on Bandcamp.
