IRONSTONE Unleash Dual Visual Assault With ‘Forge Me Anew’ and ‘The Innocent Bleed’

Australian progressive deathcore powerhouse IRONSTONE return in crushing form with the release of “Forge Me Anew” and “The Innocent Bleed”, two new official music videos taken from their latest EP A Shadow of My Former Self. Together, these tracks showcase the band’s signature balance of technical precision, emotional depth, and overwhelming heaviness—a defining statement in the next chapter of IRONSTONE’s evolution.

“Forge Me Anew” erupts with mechanical riffs, thunderous drumming, and soaring melodic passages that highlight the band’s dynamic range. It’s a track built on transformation and resilience, embodying the struggle to rebuild in the face of internal ruin. In contrast, “The Innocent Bleed” dives into darker, more visceral territory—its lyrics and atmosphere conjuring themes of guilt, decay, and the slow unraveling of humanity.

Both videos expand on the EP’s conceptual weight, intertwining visual storytelling with IRONSTONE’s intricate musicianship. Stark lighting, cinematic color grading, and symbolic imagery reinforce the emotional impact behind each song, turning sound into spectacle without sacrificing the rawness that defines their approach.

With A Shadow of My Former Self, IRONSTONE continue to push the boundaries of progressive deathcore. These dual releases not only display their commanding musicianship and conceptual vision, but also reaffirm their place among Australia’s most innovative heavy acts—relentless, introspective, and entirely uncompromising.
