Iron Jaw - Cursed (CD, NoLifeTilMetal) 2025 FFO: Judas Priest, Maiden, Haunt, White Wizzard

Hey, I want to be clear and concise - this is the most engaging and exciting heavy metal album of 2025, period.  It's that great.  I can't even tell you exactly why, but the production, the music, the vibe - everything is perfect for metalheads.  This is must-have....  Matthew Hunt (Brutal Planet Records and Boone's Overstock)

NoLifeTilMetal Records signs Fort Worth, Texas metal band Iron Jaw for their second album, Cursed. Iron Jaw play metal in the tradition of Priest, Motörhead, Sabbath, Saxon, and Iron Maiden. According to the band, “we call it heavy metal — the younger kids call it rock and roll.” Either description fits.

The band features a powerhouse lineup of seasoned musicians:
Rick Perry – Guitars (Gammacide, Puncture, Warbeast)
Randy Cook – Drums (Rotting Corpse, Montage)
Jeff Brown – Guitars (Toxic, Plague Allegiance, Exstasy)
Clay McCarty – Bass (Warlock Texas)
And the extraordinary Todd Pack – Vocals (Horror Cult, Creeper, Hallows Eve)

Though Iron Jaw form in 2016, they quickly build a loyal following and earn respect in the scene with their relentless live performances and gritty authenticity.

Cursed stands as a leading contender for one of the best New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal albums of 2025. The band actively performs live in support of the release, including appearances at major metal festivals. The album is mastered by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound (Nevermore, Coroner, Believer, Helstar).

“Ferocious…draws on the New Wave of British Heavy Metal/classic metal influences.”
— The Void Report

“Incredible riffs, fire vocals, and a kick drum that could restart a dead heart, Iron Jaw know how to write amazing, face-melting songs that are complimented by a live show that is world class! I love these guys, and I know you will too.”
— David Jarvis
