Mother Iron Horse 'Under The Black Moon'

MOTHER IRON HORSE was formed in 2018 by North Shore natives Adam Luca, Marco Medina, and Chris Kobialka. Shortly after forming, they found an old mill and began building their own recording studio, leading to the release of a 2-song demo on Halloween of 2018 (Hellmouth Records). Shortly afterward, the band was approached by Italy-based label Electric Valley Records, who released their debut album 'The Lesser Key' worldwide on May 17th, 2019. In support of the album, the band left for their first tour alongside Dutchguts up and down the American East Coast and throughout the Southern states in June 2019. After a summer of festivals and weekend shows, they hit the road again in September- with longtime friends and fellow Massachusetts natives Leather Lung. They played regionally throughout the rest of the year and appeared on the Boston-based TV show Heavy Leather Topless Dance Party.

2020 was shaping up to be their biggest year yet with a national tour booked around their appearance at Psycho SmokeOut in Los Angeles, followed by another summer of festivals leading up to a European tour in the fall. Unfortunately, the pandemic hit. Not ones to waste time, MOTHER IRON HORSE began writing their second album 'Under The Blood Moon'. While their 2019 debut 'The Lesser Key' was thought-out for the stage, 'Under The Blood Moon' was conceived with a crisis-altered mindset and takes the listener deeper into the band's escapist world, an alternate universe where the darkness-filled action takes place in the bleak and now empty streets of their home of Salem, Massachusetts.

The album's first single and video "Old Man Satan" made an impression within the underground heavy scene and caught the attention of Ozzy Osbourne bassist Blasko, who signed the band to Ripple Music as part of his curated series on the Californian powerhouse. Recorded and engineered by Zach Weeks at Salem's renowned recording studio God City (High On Fire, Converge), and co-produced by Blasko, 'Under The Blood Moon' will be released in the fall of 2021 through Ripple Music.
