PIG HEART TRANSPLANT - For Mass Consumption CS w/ download (LUNGS-059C)

  Pig Heart Transplant is the alter ego of Jon Kortland, one half of the men that comprise the surgical Powerviolence duo Iron Lung. Like Iron Lung, Pig Heart Transplant delivers both a vicious beating and violent outcome, however the operating methodology is an entirely different animal; slow, churning, industrial, electronic, painfully percussive, a bureaucratic nightmare of State Power with gears grinding the individual into a hallow shell, perfectly molded into one of Them. This is 1984.

  For Mass Consumption is composed of 28 tracks, each approximately 44 seconds long, each song title a 4 letter word, structured in a perfectly palatable way for optimum group adoption and mindless adherence to common purpose. Electronic manipulation, no wave guitar noise, abrasive hammering and eerie synthetic ambience imbue the listener with the seedy malaise of manipulation on a societal scale.  One might recognize the pulverizing brutality of early Swans on tracks like ‘Film’ or ‘Pigs’, the pulsing throb of Brighter Death Now and IRM on ‘Coma’ or even Robert McNaugton’s soundtrack work for Henry: Portrait Of Serial Killer on ‘1970’ or ‘1980’.

  Without doubt a horrifying work of aural terror, For Mass Consumption is the logical result of a culture bent on banal conformity and the futile struggle against its domination. Iron Lung Records (LP and Cassette versions) is pleased to bring this tormented future vision into the present in collaboration with 20 Buck Spin (CD version).

 In addition to these we have a limited long sleeve PHT shirt, TOTAL CONTROL long sleeves, some BLAZING EYE 7"s and warehouse finds of the PHT - Weapon 7" and VAE VICTIS - Ugly Reflection LP. All available in our STORE located at ironlungrecords.bigcartel.com.

Thank you and good day.

MUTANT VIDEO - "Head Scan" Part Two CS out now!

(LUNGS-033) MUTANT VIDEO - "Head Scan" Part Two CS w/download
Creeped out basement men playing John Carpenter soundtrack jams at 16 rpm with a strong hardcore undercurrent. There is a good dose of power electronics to supplement the mainline drum machine and bass guitar driven freight train. Heavy and spacey. Crush yourself or get low trying.
100 copies.
Hear here!
Buy there!


Thank you and goodnight. Now we are off to Florida to blast the beach and sweat pure gold!

DIÄT - Pick The Line 7" & TOTAL CONTROL shirt out now!

For your nearest and ear-est, we have a thing:
DIÄT - Pick A Line/No Accent 7" (LUNGS-031)
Rarely does an unsolicited email even raise an eyebrow but No Accent and Pick A Line really knocked us over. Expertly tight catchy drumming, cold as ice monotone pitch perfect post-punk vocals and a rhythm section that would make James Brown mush-mouthier with jealousy. Sorta sounds like "Mesh & Lace" MODERN ENGLISH playing CRISIS covers but with smarter lyrics. We heard a rumor that DIÄT formed with the sole purpose of playing with TOTAL CONTROL in Berlin, where they're from. I could believe the story since 2/3 of the band are actually Australian but I choose not to because the songs are too good to be so casual about. This band will do great things starting now. ILR is proud to debut this power trio to the world.
You can buy it at: ironlungrecords.bigcartel.com
and if you need to hear it first check out: ironlungpv.bandcamp.com


We are also proud to announce the dawning of our own brand of apparel. We made a bunch of TOTAL CONTROL shirts with a crisp FEEDING design on the front so that our people can now look as good as they feel.

Only available at: ironlungrecords.bigcartel.com


And lastly, the KIM PHUC lp has been repressed and is available now on light blue vinyl.

CDs from the warehouse

Some copies of the Life. Iron Lung. Death. CD and the IRON LUNG/LANA DAGALES split CD have surfaced and are being offered at a fair and decent price in the ILR store right now.

We also have a few copies the PIG HEART TRANSPLANT / BLUE SABBATH BLACK CHEER collab CD on the Phage Tapes imprint in the store as well. That one just came out so there is no dust to gently brush off just yet.

IRON LUNG in Seattle 6.30.12

MUTANT VIDEO in Seattle 3.19.12

Make your evening more refined.  MUTANT VIDEO will be showing a 20 minute video with a live soundtrack.  Hang at 7pm, play 8pm sharpish. Leave shortly after.

TRUE RADICAL MIRACLE LP & PHT 7" are out NOW

Hello this evening,

We have these things available at ironlungrecords.bigcartel.com

(LUNGS-024) TRUE RADICAL MIRACLE - Cockroaches LP w/ free mp3 download code.
It's hard to believe that TRUE RADICAL MIRACLE has been largely ignored outside of Australia until now. Maybe it's because Cockroaches was only available on CD in Australia back in 2006. Maybe it's because the world wasn't quite ready for the cruel haunted ugliness that makes them a staple in the Aussie noise rock scene. Cockroaches reflects on THE BAD SEEDS and Filth/Cop era SWANS but takes it's primitive nature to new level by smashing the mirror and hacking those bands to chunks with the shards. It's spent 5 years in the shadows of the outback but now it's time for the world to experience this madness. Let the cockroaches crawl all over you.
Only 500 copies will be made. Full color, heavy duty everything. Black vinyl.
Listen: HERE

(LUNGS-026) PIG HEART TRANSPLANT - Weapon/Gut Pleasures 7"
Upon first listen to this I felt sick. Upon the second listening I felt dirty. And sicker. "Weapon" is an aural attack on sanity while "Gut Pleasures" is so far from pleasing that We have given up all hope of further existence. This record is the equivalent of swimming in fallout with open wounds. This record kills you. This record is inner turmoil industrialized. This record has replaced your feelings. This record is our future. This record is not for people.
500 copies. Black vinyl in a sleeve with some fucking letters on it.
Listen: HERE

*TRUE RADICAL MIRACLE and WALLS will be touring the west coast of America at the end of January 2012. Both bands will have new albums by then too.

*At the plant:
KIM PHUC - Copsucker LP. (out late November)

Thank you for your undivided attention...
Jensen
