Album Notes & Community Reviews
Marking their only studio-recorded album, 'Iron Path' captures the free-jazz supergroup reigning in their typical live chaos in favor of a darker, more structured jazz-rock sound. Produced by Bill Laswell, the record is a heavy, ominous exploration of avant-garde improvisation driven by brutal rhythms and abrasive textures.
