Iron Mountain is a post rock/ folk metal band from Limerick, Ireland.
While they list influences including Jazz and
Psychedelia, their long instrumental tracks remind me in many ways of Ambient.
The flute and Uilleann pipes lend a touch of nature, while the song structures
themselves ignore many musical conventions.
This is not always the case. On "Powow"
especially there are moments when the rock is more prominent, as well as during
some passages on "Opium". Overall, however, the music seems to fit
better as soundtrack, into the background, working on the emotions at the edge
of your conscious mind before affecting the forefront.
It is still completely reasonable to check out the
video for "Enthralldom", and watch it consciously.
