More about the band:
John Vincent (Bass) and Ryan O’Connell (Drums) started exploring music together in early 2018 after the calling was answered by OāConnell to join a bassist interested in Heavy Fuzz, Doom and Psych music. Initial jams were Experimental and inspirational exploring music without guitar. The practices laid a strong foundation but something was still missing. Scott Holthausen filled that void once he plugged in his guitar. The final piece to the puzzle was placed and Kult Ikon was born. Because early jams were rhythm driven, the writing process took on a unique format. Bass riffs were built upon drum beats and the foundation of the song was created first. This allowed Holthausen to use the foundation as a canvas painting in the intricate details capturing the audienceās attention.
By mid 2018 Kult Ikon was taking their art to the stage. In late 2019 “Sheet Metal Sessions” were recorded by the band and available on CD. Its release coincided with the plague and COVID quickly shut down progress. The trio didnāt let that affect them for long and soon they were back in the practice space trying to process and exorcize. As the world reset, Kult Ikon were hard at work. The set back allowed time for Kult Ikon to create something massive. The result is the full length album “Black Iron Prison.”
