Seattle's Iron Lung has announced the band's first new album in 12 years and their fourth studio record, Adapting // Crawling, coming out on April 18.

Years have passed since the duo of Jensen Ward and Jon Kortland last released an LP, but their anger has only grown on the new 18-song release.

Adapting // Crawling was recorded, mixed and mastered by Greg Wilkinson, cut by John Golden, and features art by Kortland and layout be Ward.
