Fractal Storm by Old Iron
Ahnighito and Fractal Storm were originally recorded for Old Iron’s 2014 release Cordyceps with
Brandon Ramsey on drums. Reimagined with current drummer Trent McIntyre, these recordings stand
as the best documentation of these songs in both performance and fidelity. Thematically, they serve
as bookends to the concept loosely running throughout Cordyceps that human consciousness was
affected by ancient exposure to extraterrestrial fungi by way of meteorites. 10,000 years ago the Cape
York meteorite broke into three pieces as it hit Greenland. Named after one of these pieces, Ahnighito
chronicles its descent to earth and the harvesting of its iron. Maybe there was more than just rock and
metal in that meteorite!
The exposure inevitably leads to fungal growth inside the host finishing with a psychedelic crescendo.
Sit back and relax as the layers of your mind peel away into the Fractal Storm…
