Irony Destroyed is a Kenyan metalcore band pushing the boundaries of heavy music in East Africa. Formed in 2015 and led by guitarist Lenny Kiano, the band began actively performing and releasing music in 2016. Their debut EP "Strife to Legacy" dropped in 2017, followed by a series of singles between 2018 and 2021, leading up to their full-length album "Rebirth" in 2022.
Through the years, Irony Destroyed has evolved with a few lineup changes but remains passionate and resilient, overcoming struggles to keep the music alive. Lyrically, the band delves into themes of existentialism, philosophy, overcoming life’s challenges, and confronting injustice—expressed through crushing riffs, intense breakdowns, and raw emotion.
Irony Destroyed now features Douglas Kihoro on vocals, Issa Khalid on guitar, Lenny Kiano on lead guitar, John Kiarie on Bass and Cyrus Kamau on drums. With an unyielding drive and ever-growing intensity, the band continues to forge its path in heavy music.
