The First few bands have been announced for the new festival “Rockingham” which will take place at Nottingham Rock City at the end of Octbober. Please note that this is nothing to do with the much revered “Firefest”, although it certainly would be easy to assume so given the date, genre, location.
Belgian guitar maestro Dilshan Petrossi has sadly announced this week that singer Mark Boals is no longer part of the line up.
Says the guitarist in a statement, “I’ve come a long way since Iron Mask was founded, but the love for the music and band will never fade. The fifth album (“Fifth Son Of Winterdoom”) has been released, again by AFM Records, and has received super reviews and a lot of promotion. For the last two albums Mark Boals and I worked together many times, and he gave me the vocals I heard in my head, whilst composing the songs.” Read more

Based around singer and guitarist Piet Sielck, the Hamburg based legends have been busy of late, and have quite a few surprises up their sleeve for the new record, now entitled “Rise Of The Hero”. Read more
