Fired up, full throttle Texas-bred Southern Metal has a bold, new driving force. Primed and ready right in the midst of heavy music´s ongoing mainstream resurgence, Big Iron is determined to make waves on a worldwide level now more than ever before. Highlighted by hook-filled songwriting flair, vigorous energy and blazing guitars, this Dallas-based foursome´s impressive approach is about as contemporary as it gets. But belting out no-nonsense, high-octane anthems straight from the Lone Star State is something the band has rarely had any problem doing for several years. So much so it initially grabbed the attention of the group´s original overseas label who released Big Iron´s first proper full-length - the Neil (Judas Priest, Nevermore, Cannibal Corpse) Kernon produced Tierra Del Diablo - to positive reviews in publications across Europe like Kerrang, Terrorizer and Rock Hard.



The onset of 2004 sees the arrival of Falling Down, Big Iron´s most realized recording to date. Clocking in at just under forty-five minutes, the eleven-track Neoblast debut is concise and effective, making its point without getting bogged down by a bunch of unnecessary trappings. Opening screamer "Reality Check" instantly gets the adrenaline pumping while "Vanish" unleashes bluesy, gritty swagger wrapped around some standout moments from lead shredder Alapeno. Elsewhere, both "Someday" and"The Truth" emphasize a melodic focus as light and shade enter the picture then give way to the hammering bruise of "Mouthhole" along with the captivating refrains of "Seeds". The entire affair is put together with the sort of punch and pacing that makes it rather obvious that Big Iron has quite a grip on writing out fine-tuned setlists. The album´s sequence and how each passing number plays off another as Falling Down surges forth simply demand repeated listening. Many of the songs are already live favorites, vividly coming to life each and every time Big Iron perform onstage. Expect them to be doing that and much more well into the rest of the year and beyond.
