Iguana Death Cult

With Iguana Death Cult’s latest iteration, the band laments personal stories of hardship and doubt whilst fixing their gaze on the burning world around them. Guitars, percussion, synths and a whole lot of soul-searching is all that Iguana Death Cult needed for their recent resurrection.

As part of a personnel change the band gained a strong new line-up, including the dazzlingly virtuous drummer Uri Rennert (previously in Häxxan and Brian Jonestown Massacre). This new era of Iguana Death Cult’s existence channels their earlier punk and garage style while simultaneously feeling unmistakably like a product of today. It is characterized by razor-sharp, highly rhythmic riffing by Tobias Opschoor and the relentless drumming of Uri Rennert; by the ever-groovy and effortlessly cool percussion and synths of Jimmy de Kok; and by the hefty yet heartfelt voice of frontman Jeroen Reek, guiding the listener through feelings of despair, anger and solace, in that very order.

Iguana Death Cult is a band who have made quite the miles in the last decade. Started as a group of young friends in 2014 wanting to make rock ‘n roll, the band has risen to great heights, including touring with Osees and Frankie and the Witchfingers, supporting Jack White, playing SXSW, Levitation Festival and Desert Daze, and doing multiple successful US tours.
