Ivy Gardens Just Buried the Don Valley, Icelandic Black Metal, & MORE | MRP #066
What do a Canadian band born in a Princess Auto parking lot, Icelandic black metal, and a few albums that may or may not need a weed whacker all have in common? They’re all packed into this episode of the Metal Robot Podcast!
We’re joined by Sebastian of Ivy Gardens for a deep dive into one of Ontario’s most unpredictable rising acts. From the band’s spontaneous formation in a parking lot to the dark twist of their upcoming record Death of Don Valley, Sebastian pulls back the curtain on the stories, struggles, and shenanigans that fuel Ivy Gardens’ music. Expect tales of wild live performances, music video misadventures, and the unapologetically heavy sound that’s putting them on the map.
But that’s not all—we spin the roulette wheel and plunge headfirst into the frostbitten abyss of Iceland’s black metal scene, uncovering the atmosphere and density of Zhrine. How do they fare in this game of chance? Tom’s sanity after the last few rounds will depend on it.
Plus, we dive into the thick of the latest releases in metal, spotlighting the extremes with Kratornas, Vindicator, and Monoliyth.
If you’re craving fresh stories, icy metal, and all the screams and blistering riffs you could ever want, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
