Iron Lung is a powerviolence duo hailing from Seattle, Washington, renowned for their incendiary blend of hardcore punk and grindcore elements. The band was formed in the early 2000s and consists of Jensen Ward and Jon Kortland, both of whom contribute to the high-octane vocals and also share duties on drums and guitar, respectively. Iron Lung's music is characterized by its blistering pace, pummeling riffs, and aggressive, uncompromising sound that is both visceral and technically precise.

Over the years, Iron Lung has cemented its place in the underground extreme music scene with a prolific output and relentless touring. The band's discography reflects their evolution and commitment to pushing the boundaries of the powerviolence genre. Notable releases include "Life. Iron Lung. Death." which is a foundation in their catalog, highlighting their fast-paced aggression and thematic bleakness. More recent works like "Cold Storage I" and "Cold Storage II" showcase the band's continued experimentation with noise and feedback while sharpening their songwriting prowess. The release "White Glove Test" further complements their discography with a synergistic mix of raw noise and structured chaos. Albums "Savagery" and "Mental Distancing" reflect their ongoing explorations into the nuances of extreme music while maintaining the confrontational intensity that defines Iron Lung's identity amongst fans and within the broader landscape of hardcore punk.
