The Paths Of Glory...Lead But To The Grave

The Paths Of Glory is a stylishly delivered treatise that moves the band's obvious roots smartly towards a well-marshalled individuality.

Their 2005 debut CD, The Law And The Road Are One, put the foursome on a destiny that continues now with their first full album. That first CD featured a variety of moods that betrayed their heroes as the behemoths of the 1970s, such as Zeppelin, Sabbath and Purple, where the lighter, dynamic elements made you appreciate the heavier tracks. The same quality courses through songs like 'Battle Malady', 'Ruler Of Tomorrow' and 'The Ballad Of Thulsa Doom'. These offer a direct bridge between classic rock and the more rigorous demands of the modern world. While the anthemic 'Lord, Kill The Pain' has become almost iconic. Never aspiring to be some underground cult band, they have always done exactly what they wanted when they wanted and how they wanted, which partly explains why Pig Irön record, produce and release their product exclusively themselves.
