From the remote backwaters of Tasmania, IRONHAWK emerged in 2013 at a ramshackle basement gig and they cast blackened metalpunk forged in the flames of Bathory, Amebix, Sacrilege, Venom, and English Dogs. Like a time-warp to 1985, Ritual of the War Path is a grandiose-yet-grimy statement of ancient metalpunk powers known only to the most devout.
