"They are one of Colorado's premiere purveyors of brutality and originality in all things Metal, and if ever a band existed for the devil horns we all raise, Iconocaust is it." -- Colorado Music Buzz
They have a purpose and it's simple: No gimicks, no bullsh*t, just heavy metal straight out of the Rocky Mountains. Claiming influence from old school heavy metal, thrash, death metal, and even classical they write songs meant to be cranked up to "11". Prepare yourself for the new breed......................
Since the band formed in 2005, Iconocaust has undergone many changes. What was then an idea for a new sound in heavy metal has progressed and evolved significantly in the time since. Their sound has grown steadily more technical and brutal while building on a melodic foundation that will begin to truly step forward for the first time with their upcoming 3rd release later this year....
The band first took their music to the studio for their debut release, The Natural Evolution of Metal in the fall of 2005. The band then put together a Production/Promotion company called Metal Evolution to help with the release of the album. The concept was simple... local bands working together for a scene that was united, not divided. Several bands are permanent members and many more are part of the team. Looking for a second guitarist was eventually put second to writing new music, and the band continued on it's course to complete it's sophomore independent release. The fall of 2006 saw Iconocaust in the studio once again. This time they teamed up with Dave Otero of Cephalic Carnage and Relapse fame for The Reckoning of Man (Spring 2007).
A new chapter has begun as they step into 2009, with the introduction of Brian Davis on lead guitar. He joined the band in the fall of '08 as the band was already in the preproduction stages of Judas Complex (2009), working with Ahrue Luster of Ill Nino and Machine Head fame. The new album is their most ambitious effort yet and is sure to blow everyone away.....
Iconocaust has been working nonstop in preparation for a new release in the summer of 2009. Soon after, the road......... Touring for D.I.Y. bands is difficult and expensive. Please help out however you can. Buy merch or make a donation w/the option below and help us to keep bringing the metal!!! Gas is a budget killer.... Each time we earn up enough money to tour we will travel in a different direction, giving everyone the chance to see us!
