BAPTIZED IN IRON AND BLOOD: Hanoi’s Blood Serpent and Osaka’s Iron Bludgeon Unleash Infernal Split EP

Hanoi’s Blood Serpent and Osaka’s Iron Bludgeon unite in Baptized in Iron and Blood, a six-track split of black/death and war-metal fury. Released via House of Ygra, the EP delivers raw aggression, ritualistic atmosphere, and uncompromising underground intensity.

Metalheads, prepare yourselves: “Baptized In Iron And Blood“, the long-awaited split release from Vietnam’s feral black/death legion Blood Serpent and Japan’s war-metal diabolists Iron Bludgeon, has arrived! The EP is now a part of House of Ygra’s catalogue, an independent label based in Hanoi that specializes in black metal and other unearthly forms of darkness.

Listeners around the globe can now immerse themselves in this ritualistic offering. The full split is available for streaming and purchase on all major digital platforms, including the Bandcamp page of House of Ygra. For those drawn to the shadows of YouTube’s underground metal corridors, the entire EP is also freely accessible on the No Gleaming Light channel, a notorious nexus for extreme metal aficionados.

The artwork was crafted by Alex Morkh Shadrin of Nether Temple Design, who delivered a suitably infernal visual for this abominable convergence.

“Baptized In Iron And Blood” stands as a potent fusion of malignant artistry and unrelenting aggression, a spiritually charged obliteration of sonic boundaries. Whether you’re seeking ritualistic atmosphere or raw, primal devastation, this split promises to baptize you in its iron-laced fury.
