Ironheade is the main protagonist faction of Brütal Legend.
History[]
Ironheade is the human resistance movement lead by Lars Halford, and later, Lita Halford with Eddie Riggs commanding the troops. After Eddie arrives in the Age of Metal and escapes from the Temple of Ormagöden with Ophelia, he meets the others and quickly begins helping them recruit an entire army.
He starts by freeing the Headbangers from General Lionwhyte's Crushing Pit, where they are kept as mining slaves. This leads to Eddie naming the band 'Ironheade' in honour of the new Headbanger soldiers.
He then recruits the Thunderhog riders and the Razor Girls, before skirmishing with the Hair Metal Militia at Bladehenge and Battersmith. There, the Bouncers join, having been fired by Lionwhyte, followed shortly by the Roadies, who help them pass through the Cleave of the Impaler.
After defeating Lionwhyte and spending three months in Death's Clutch, Ironheade is attacked by the Drowning Doom and fights off the attack with the help of the Fire Barons. Setting out for the Sea of Black Tears, the army encounters the Zaulia in the jungle, who bring their tamed Metal Beasts with them when they are convinced to join Ironheade.
Soon afterwards, a skirmish with the Drowning Doom in the Dry Ice Quarry leads to Eddie discovering a massive grinder, with which he creates the Rock Crusher from. With their army complete, the soldiers of Ironheade venture down to the Sea of Black Tears, fighting two epic battles against the Drowning Doom and Emperor Doviculus, leader of the Tainted Coil.
Ironheade ultimately emerges victorious, freeing the Brütal Land from demonic oppression.
Trivia[]
