Sounds Like
The sound of one hand clapping through three different noise filters, a can of coke, squishy horse radish, and heavy fucking distortion.
In October of 2006 IED (short for Improvised Explosive Device) was formed by the mildly wayward members of Datura Inoxia as a more serious and heavier outlet. The band draws from founding members, Matt Hilend and Jonny Distance's personal tastes (Matt: Death Metal/Nu-Metal/Metalcore, Jonny D: Rock/Metalcore/Alternative) and their combined backgrounds in industrial to form the ultimate mix of spine-breaking brutality and surgical finesse.
IED has come to be an amalgamut of the struggle towards becoming enlightened and a distillation of Eastern and Western religious effigies coupled with a careful mix of pharmacology, insanity and pure 100% uncut adrenaline. Just two guys making some death metal, think of us as Steely Death (Kudos if you get that ref).
