IGUANA performs a sincere, versatile, heavy and progressive kind of Fuzz Rock at its best. Although still being deep-seated with this genre they have moved on to develop their own vision of a deep, melodic and wistful Hard Rock music. It’s somekind of Desert-Psychedelic-Doom-Post-whatever in the broadest sense. However, the band is full of stylistic variability, packed with hooks as well as accompanied by crazily arranged instrumental gimmickries. The iguana is sick of trends, the mainstream and, above all, the dos and don’ts of Rock’n’Roll. It’s addicted to music – nothing more and nothing less! An outcome made for the stage to unfold its unbridled power. That’s what it has been and always will be!
Besides releasing music, IGUANA is dead keen on playing live! They have hit the stage of dozens of festivals and clubshows together with bands such as Saint Vitus, Brant Bjork, Los Natas, The Atomic Bitchwax, Dozer, Colour Haze, Kadavar, Blues Pills, Spidergawd and many many ingenious acts more. Not just old hand doom legend Wino Weinrich knows that these boys are killer. Numerous club-shows in the Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, Poland, Italy, Russia, Slovenia, Czech Republic and of course the German scene’s most appreciated live hot-spots proved that IGUANA embodies the never-ending story of live celebrated love to chunky riffing, ‘psychedelic’ jamming and rythyms that are out-of-the-ordinary!
After successfully releasing their EP „B|L|U|E|S“ in Europe and the USA at the end of 2008, they have entered the “first league of heavy rockers of German origin” (generated-x). IGUANA’s debut album “Get The City Love You”, came out in june 2012. Those who’ve had the chance to snatch some tunes from their new LP during a live performance know that the band is going to present again unconventional good music. Look forward to the sound of former desert sessions along with instrumental gimmickries and doom attacks yet charmingly and a little crazily wrapped up.
IGUANA was going to release their brand new record “Cult Of Helios” at the end of July 2015, right on time for their tour with Brant Bjork. It contains 4 songs in 32min of finest Psych-Desert-Post-Whatever-Rock. The record is a portrait of IGUANA’s contemporary songwriting and sweetens up the time, waiting for the next full length album. “Cult Of Helios” is the soundtrack for your summer and will be released as a special-tour-edition during their upcoming shows. It is also available via Itunes, Spotify and so on.
Upcoming is the new record “Translational Symmetry” at the end of 2019.
