“35+ years creating and toiling in the Canadian music industry. Performing with over 40 bands through the years. Leaving his producing, engineering and mixing fingerprints on over 100 albums (including material by Blood Ceremony). Ian Blurton knows rock ‘n’ roll, and his upcoming record Signals Through the Flame makes that clear from the first burning note. Fans of Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, Haunt, and Blue Öyster Cult should take note: “Seven Bells” showcases Blurton’s talent for forging volcanic trad metal riffs and sugary melodies. “Seven Bells” starts with a heavy pop dirge before flirting with British Steel sing-alongs and freewheelin’ stoner riffage. The record plays like a love letter to rock’s life-affirming power. Seriously, try listening to this without grinning.”
– Decibel Magazine
“You might know Ian Blurton as the producer of bands like Blood Ceremony, Castle, and Caudron, or as a Canadian music industry veteran of over 35 years. You’ll also now know Blurton as the guy who writes kickass classic heavy metal jams in the vein of bands like Budgie, Motorpsycho, Thin Lizzy, and Blue Öyster Cult.”
– Metal Injection
“… finding him leaning into classic metal tropes pioneered by the likes of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden and newer bands that borrow heavily from those influences like Grand Magus and Ghost.”
