Welcome to the promised land, a land of no return Pay the price and greedy eyes, we were expecting you Come on child, just take my hand, don’t be afraid Don’t forget, the words to say: Welcome to Hell. Evil Eyes, Demonized, take the boat to cross land Sinners gonna pay…. You gonna Burn in Hell Netherworld, Bastard sons, Cerberus keep this door It’s a dangerous game…..You gonna Burn in Hell Hope you like your new house, the house of livings deads Satanic rules, hounds of hell, You can’t break the spell Troops of Hell rules this land, with swords at his hands Morbid mans desecrates, ready for sacrifice Leather nuns, the demon gang, eternal torture is my side Burn at the stake tonight… You gonna Burn in Hell Black mass begin, black witches ride, spreading evil from the sky And you can’t escape because… You gonna Burn in Hell

One night she appeared, blazing the light, evil woman disguise, I quick surrendered and offered my life, electric poison your bite!! The Devil in high heels, her viper tongue transform it in leather and steel This night we running, we running wild, you got me crazy hypnotized! Your eyes on fire, original sin, must be in paradise? I think your sharp fangs on my neck my blood is boiling, I can't resist the spell Rattlesnake - Lucifer’s friend - metamorphose - Diabolic force Rattlesnake -there is no escape from Deliah

Weapons are shinnin’, muscle and iron, life is a game In the Arena, no to place to hide…. Die by the blade Gladious or trident. Hail to the Caesar, rivals await Roar of the masses, you’re just a slave, forced to obey Death or Glory, Live or Dead Drag your enemies, across the sand HEAVY METAL GLADIATOR New game is comin’ die to entertain, mens face to face Heart to stone, life in a cell, sword is your friend Death or Glory, Live or Dead Drag your enemies, across the sand
5.	Rough Riders 03:42	lyrics	buy track
We're back on the streets again Four rebels, four renegades We're going to take the throne So, come on and hear my call. Our weapons are blinding lights Your future: to lose control! We rock you in the night Playing with no remorse Rough riders ride against the wind Too wild to tame, have you ever seen? Rough riders gonna break the law Release the storm, make you burn! It's time to set you free Your heart belongs to Rock With us you break the chains Because you take it all
6.	Stormbound 03:42	lyrics	buy track
Dark clouds are coming They are ready to break the day Thunder and lightning Destroying the human race There's no tomorrow, no faith They will take your life! Legions of Evil, Screaming for sacrifice Fire in the sky, hear the clouds roar Envoy of hell, they have no remorse Stormbound!! "They bring death, pestilence, famine, keep running child... Keep running..." Stormbringer coming No rainbows, crack the sky! Horsemen in leather Confessions, time to die! Deathstrike from Hell All the sinners will burn Dead will arise No point to return!
7.	The Running Man 03:48	lyrics	buy track
The year 2017 He pays and plays the Running Man An innocent must choose Hard time or play in prime time No time to run No place to hide A matter of life and death Running, The Running Man Killers and rapists looking for you Running, The Running Man After the race, I will be back Your hunters have names Fireball, Subzero and Dynamo You fight for your life That's the only prize No time to run No place to hide A matter of life and death Running, The Running Man Killers and rapists looking for you Running, The Running Man After the race... I will be back!

about

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new mini-album from IRON CURTAIN, Metal Gladiator, on CD and 12” vinyl formats.

For over 15 years now, Spanish metal inquisition IRON CURTAIN have been stalwart defenders of the faith. With a discography that includes four full-lengths and twice as many EPs, splits, and demos, IRON CURTAIN’s ever-sturdy sound was forged in the fires of the early ‘80s: largely nodding to the eternal Motörhead as well as Tank, but also Canadian gods like Exciter and Razor, to the Teutonic might of early Iron Angel and Grave Digger, to Scandinavian gods OZ and Heavy Load, to cult American icons Abattoir and Savage Grace. And with the DYING VICTIMS release of career highpoint Danger Zone in 2019, that sound’s become even more rocking than ever.

And IRON CURTAIN continue that trajectory with a quick-hitting and absolutely electric mini-album titled Metal Gladiator. A smorgasboard of old & new and special all the same, Metal Gladiator includes three new and exclusive tracks – “Crossing the Acheron,” “Burn in Hell,” and the title track “Metal Gladiator” – recorded at their own Gorgon Studios during the latter half of 2021, displaying perhaps their most perfect balance of grit and gleam…total anthems! Then there are three older songs that include special lead-guitar friends: “Rough Riders” with Noboru Jero Sakuma (Gorgon, Abigail, Metalucifer), “Stormbound” with Blumi (Metal Inquisitor, Midnight Rider), and “The Running Man” with Harry Granroth (RAM). And lastly is the brand-new song “Rattlesnake,” which will be on IRON CURTAIN’s forthcoming fifth full-length. Altogether, Metal Gladiator is a new start for the band and resounding reassurance for IRON CULT’s true-metal dominance during their third decade of existence!

A churning, smoky, and doomed affair. Gone is much of the adventurous, sword-and-sorcery battle hymn of Forever Black and earlier; this is a trudging march of grim and dark resolve. A well-chosen album name. This was a different direction than I expected, so I will have to screw my head on right to give it a re-listen, but I think it will please even more. Many of the melodies take shadowy turns of half-tone tension, evoking the dire fate hanging overhead as mighty heavy lyrics damn you. pinkytheent
