Blue Heron "The House That Peterbilt" Music Video
10/06/25 | [dcraley]Iron Lung Drop Tryptech Singles
Powerviolence legends IRON LUNG are gearing up for the release of Adapting//Crawling, their first new album in 12 years on April 18th via their own Iron Lung Records. This week, they've released a triptych of singles titled "Purgatory Dust" / "Virus" / "Purgatory Dust (Finale)” and an accompanying music video.
“At its core, ‘Purgatory Dust’ is about people not taking any precautions during the pandemic, causing even more of a spread and way more of a stupid panic,” Jensen Ward (drums/vocals) explains. “Then we introduce ‘Virus’ in the middle of the tune and let it wreak havoc for almost too long. When ‘Dust’ comes back it deals with the fallout from infection be it death or long term illness. That behavior really freaked me out during Covid, probably because I have studied the Polio epidemic a ton over the course of this band and people behaved pretty much exactly the same way back in the 50s. The echoes of it are staggering really. Same idiocy. Same willful ignorance and hostility toward reason. Human nature is insane. I am surprised our species has lived this long.”
