Black Iron Prison - Primal Note Studio session

I saw Black Iron Prison open for Echthros a couple of years ago. Then at the end of March Iron Lung had released an album by them. I knew both Eric and Matthew from their past projects and had thought it was a shame that I hadn’t heard much about this release. I reached out to them about doing a session and they agreed. I didn’t realize that they were going to record some new material. Lucky for us to be the way that you get to hear that. We start off with a track titled “Spatial Awareness’. We recorded this at Primal Note Studios on June 8th.
