Iguana Death Cult Announce New Album Guns Out, Out April 10!
Today, Rotterdam’s Iguana Death Cult return with the announcement of their fourth long player, Guns Out, due for release April 10th via Greenway Records and The Reverberation Appreciation Society.
Guns Out marks a return to punchy garage rock and features honest self-reflection, addressing escapism, mental strain, and creative renewal. The result channels their early punk and garage roots, powered by Tobias Opschoor’s razorsharp riffs, Uri Rennert’s (Häxxan and Brian Jonestown Massacre) relentless drumming, Jimmy de Kok’s groovy rhythms and Jeroen Reek’s raw, emotive vocals.
Alongside the announcement, IDC are leading the charge with single, “I Like It, It’s Nice”
The band explains, “this song is either a critique of consumerism fed by malevolent tactics of greedy corporations, social media trickery and the overall existential dread of late stage capitalism. A salacious confession of fleshly desires that will get you into the groove or a silly song about a British baking show. But we’ll leave that to the ear of the beholder.”
Iguana Death Cult is a band who have made quite the miles in the last decade. Started as a group of young friends in 2014 wanting to make rock ‘n roll, the band has risen to great heights including touring with OSEES, Frankie and the Witchfingers, supporting Jack White, playing SXSW, Levitation Festival and Desert Daze and doing multiple successful US tours.
On Guns Out, Iguana Death Cult is exercising self-reflection on multiple levels: by breaking with the more indie-like, art-punk-funk sound of their previous album (Echo Palace, released through Innovative Leisure in 2023), returning to a more ‘in your face’ punchy garage rock style. Tough yet introspective, Guns Out captures a band coming to terms with its own evolution and the turbulent world around it.
