Great weight

A couple of years back Iron Man came to town for All That Is Heavy and made quite an impression, not only winning over fans but making a bunch of fans on the local metal scene. Naturally Jenn Bradshaw invited then back for the latest round of All That Is Heavy. This edition rounded out the bill with a trio of local acts; Muffler Crunch and Loviatar make regular National Capital Rock Appearances, while Longhouse is new on the scene. They went on first. This was also an album-release show for their Mike Bond-recorded debut Earth From Water, a very High On Fiery slab. Here's bassist Joshua.

It feels like a long while since I've seen Muffler Crunch live - February 2014, if the blog is to be trusted. I'm going to try to see them a little more frequently than once a year because they always put on a killer show.

Iron Man, mighty Maryland titans of doom, were in town for the 2012 edition of All That Is Heavy; this time around they got to headline. In the intervening years they also were signed by Relapes and released South Of The Earth. Here's main man Albert Morris III.
