GIRDER RECORDS ANNOUNCES DOUBLE VINYL RELEASE OF IRONWRATH: MASTER STORYTELLER
Pre-Orders Begin Friday | Official Release Date: June 20, 2024
Wilmington, NC – Girder Records is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated double vinyl release of Master Storyteller, the cinematic heavy metal masterpiece from IRONWRATH. For the first time ever, this acclaimed album will be available on a deluxe double vinyl gatefold edition, delivering an immersive listening experience that metal fans won’t want to miss.
Now, 35 years in the making, IRONWRATH proudly unleashes its long-awaited debut masterpiece, Master Storyteller, through Girder Records. Often referred to as “The Pink Floyd” of metal, this album is an extraordinary journey down the rabbit hole, filled with powerful and lucid music that has garnered the band critical acclaim, including accolades such as Best Album of the Year from prominent industry voices.
IRON WRATH isn’t just a band—they’re an experience. Known for their visually brilliant, high-energy live performances, they were one of the top acts at Immortal Fest last year, leaving audiences in awe. Their music is more than just sound; it’s a theatrical, adrenaline-fueled journey that now comes to life on high-quality vinyl in a beautifully crafted gatefold package.
Chris Gatto from Heaven’s Metal puts it best:
“Ironwrath brings precision progressive metal with faith and conviction, brought to you by veterans of the genre, each with decades of mastering their craft. Together they bring us Master Storyteller, a statement that begs to be seen as well as heard. Better break out the headphones for this vinyl!”
—Chris Gatto, Heaven’s Metal magazine
First making waves in the dynamic years of 1988 to 1990, IRONWRATH burst onto the scene with an electrifying performance at the 1989 Cornerstone Festival and their driving single “The Stranger.” Since then, they have been hailed as “The Cinematic Masters of Metal,” distinguished for their multi-dimensional artistry—seamlessly blending profound storytelling with award-winning films, powerhouse live performances, and anthemic compositions.
Now, fans have the unique opportunity to own this remarkable sonic Imaginarium on a beautifully crafted double vinyl, featuring a stunning gatefold design, complete with spectacular graphics and additional extras that extend far beyond the album itself.
The album features standout tracks like “Legends Never Die,” “Tyranny,” and their gripping rendition of Johnny Cash’s “God’s Gonna Cut You Down.”
Pre-orders begin March 21, at GirderMusic.com, with the official release set for June 6, 2024.
“This album was meant to be heard on vinyl,” said C.G. Ryche (Producer and Drummer of IRONWRATH.) “The depth, the warmth of the sound—it truly brings the music to life in a way that digital just can’t.”
This limited-edition pressing is expected to sell quickly, so fans are encouraged to secure their copies early to ensure they don’t miss out on this must-have collector’s item.
