Episode 796 of the Pennsylvania Rock Show brings the firepower of Iron Brigade, a high-octane metal band whose sound channels the raw energy of power metal, thrash, and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM). Known for their commanding stage presence, intricate storytelling, and relentless energy, Iron Brigade is not just a band—they’re a movement for metal warriors everywhere.
Iron Brigade delivers an immersive experience that fuses heavy riffs, soaring melodies, and lyrical tales of history, war, folklore, and fantasy.

Each performance is a full-scale assault of precision musicianship and passion that leaves audiences with raised horns, pounding hearts, and a hunger for more.
In this episode, host Bill Domiano sits down with the band to discuss their creative process, metal influences, and the stories behind their most powerful anthems. Listeners will hear about how the band formed, their evolution in the Pennsylvania metal scene, and what fuels their songwriting — from historical epics to fantasy-driven tales that echo the spirit of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Metallica.
