Rising Kenyan band autometal on their new song “Ironmen” and their latest album, soldier on

The track pays tribute to mechanics, construction workers, garbage collectors, and other essential workers who form the backbone of communities. In a world where encouragement narratives tend to focus on women, Autometal delivers a refreshing take by honoring men’s resilience and dedication without detracting from others’ accomplishments.

“Ironmen” continues Autometal’s trend of producing rock music with philosophical depth. Following previous hits like “Let’s Ride” and “Reject,” the band infuses their songs with messages that go beyond surface-level themes.

“Let’s Ride,” for instance, speaks to the joy of travel but ultimately conveys that home is where the heart truly belongs. This mix of deep storytelling and high-energy rock has given Autometal a unique identity within Kenya’s rock scene and helped build a growing fanbase.

Their new 10-track album, Soldier On, expands on these themes, offering listeners an anthem for perseverance and resilience through life’s ups and downs. Autometal hopes the album inspires people to embrace challenges as a path to personal growth and a greater understanding of themselves.

Thematically, the album captures a wide range of human emotions and experiences, taking listeners on a powerful and introspective journey through both struggles and victories.

Both “Ironmen” and  Soldier On  have received promising feedback from Kenya’s rock community, with fans connecting to the messages of unity and mutual respect that underlie the music. Autometal aims to resonate with a broad audience, hoping that both men and women find meaning in their music’s message of balanced recognition and appreciation for all contributions to society.

With an ever-growing fanbase, Autometal is staying true to their raw sound and thought-provoking lyrics. Their commitment to authenticity and their philosophical approach position them as a significant force in Kenyan rock. Through “Ironmen” and their continued work, Autometal isn’t just creating music; they’re igniting conversations that challenge norms, promote resilience, and inspire harmony.
