Iron Lung are a two piece hardcore punk act from Seattle, Washington heavily influenced by power violence and grindcore. The band formed in 1999 in Reno and is currently in Seattle after spending some time in Oakland. They have released music on several labels including Prank Records, 625 Thrashcore, and their own label, Iron Lung Records. In recent years the band has collaborated with other members of the hardcore punk scene, including Hatred Surge and Dave Bailey, formerly of Running For Cover. 2009 saw the release of Public Humiliation, a three-way collaboration between Iron Lung and Jon and Jensens side projects, Pig Heart Transplant and Walls respectively. The recording is of a one-off live performance from Halloween of 2008. Jon Kortland is also half of the art project Feeding, which has made artwork for several Iron Lung, Walls and PHT releases, as well as album covers for several other bands.
Sexless//No Sex is the best modern Powerviolence album I've ever heard. It's even better than Life.Iron Lung.Death and that album was a tough act to follow.

The experiment begins. Drain the blood. Re-animated heart
Simulated blood flow. Re-animated lung. Artificial oxygen
A ghoulish design. Autojector. Walking death. Waking limbs
Walking death. Autojector. Willed to live
Carries out the functions of the heart and lungs
Technique is everything. Experiments in the revival of dead flesh
Technique is everything
