Exclusive Premiere: Iguana Death Cult unleash their explosive new single ‘Guns Out’ with raw energy and introspection
‘Guns Out’ is the blistering new single from Rotterdam rock band Iguana Death Cult, arriving March 3 as a preview of their forthcoming LP (April 10).
Following lead single ‘I Like It, It’s Nice,’ a critique of consumerism in late-stage capitalism, ‘Guns Out’ shifts focus inward. The track captures the volatility of extreme mood swings in a chaotic, experimental rush.
The band explains:
“Throughout my life, I’ve been plagued by heavy moodswings. I’d feel either as low as an early Cure song, or so high that I’d feel even death couldn’t mess up my day.”
“‘Guns Out’ portrays the latter. A night out on the town with my sleeves rolled up and the fire in my eyes. Not afraid of the devil or his old mother. The pre-chorus sets a more vulnerable mood. A moment of awareness and reflection before hell breaks loose again.”
Guns Out marks the band’s fourth full-length and follows Echo Palace, released through Innovative Leisure in 2023. With a revamped lineup that includes drummer Uri Rennert, previously of Häxxan and Brian Jonestown Massacre, the group returns to a faster, more spontaneous writing process, addressing themes of escapism, mental strain, and creative renewal.
‘Guns Out’ is out now, with the full album arriving April 10th via Greenway Records and The Reverberation Appreciation Society.
