Iron Camel, the first single from The Tronosonic Experience’s 'II: The Big Blow', is arguably the most energetic and immediate song on the new album. It’s inspired by the 1,000 miles long railway that was built by the Ottomans in 1900 to link Damascus with Medina. The so-called “Iron Camel” was used to deploy Ottoman troops during World War 1, and was a source of great resentment among the Bedouin tribes. In the song, the listeners can hear echoes of the long train journey across the desert, the contrast between the freezing desert nights and the blistering heat and relentless sun during the day, and the audacious campaign of sabotage against the Ottoman train lead by T. E. Lawrence.
The Tronosonic Experience’s upcoming album II: The Big Blow will be released 15th February 2019 by the Norwegian record label Apollon Records Prog.
